This photo is of the legs on an antique table I have in my house. The curves and shapes of the objects is what I think makes this photo interesting. Also with the combination of blurry and sharp images. I tried to compose the subject so that the shadows and glares work together and the shapes were emphasized.



Really I think that this photo is quite cliche. I've seen it done before and I'm sure that you have too. Honestly, when I first took this photo I didn't think that I would use it as a final print. But in lieu of more recent circumstances, I had to use it. I was the only piece of film that would develop well enough.




I say a photo a long time ago that used a fence post to block out the sun. This is my remake. It may be too barren, or plain, but if you give it a chance I think that you'll realize that it's not so bad. But I do like the simple line in the photo, It grows on me everyday.



Isn't he adorable. It's Paul, dropping snow in front of his face with a unique, Paullike, smile. I couldn't think of a better way to portray Paul's day to day attitude.



Matt likes cookie dough. I think I'm going to name this one that. It's fitting. Guess what he's eating...yep that's right cookie dough. Nice job.



I like this one. It fits my style, or at least the style that I was going for the day I was taking this picture. The actual subject is a lamp shade that looks fairly antique-ish. It's hard and metal and as you can see it casts quite a good glare making for some interesting contrast.



I really like this photo. (Isn't it unnecessary how I switch from calling them pictures and photos?... annoying huh) I will tell you why I like it. The composition and composure is nice I think, it fits the frame I guess you could say, but most of all I like the texture. I can honestly feel the thick grain of the wood when I look at it. Fantastic!



I like the motion in this photo. It's neat I guess but I really like the composition of his body in the frame. It almost looks deformed; it's not normal. I like that about it. It's unique. I could of made a cliche print of a dog running, legs stretched out, eyes wide open, but instead I made him look like this. He looks more like a dog, not the stereotypical look for a dog.



This photo, like many of mine, has some sweet contrast. I decided that contrast is absolutely crucial because the picture is black and white. There is no color. Nothing to make it pop, unless I have some contrast. A vibrant red in one of my pictures just turns out to be and thick grey and doesn't have the same affect.



This photo is my favorite. My hope is that it feels erie. Makes you feel unsettled and uneasy. I hoped I could stir your inner emotions in a subtle way that you wouldn't at first notice. Did it work?
