Architecture!!

This was taken underneath the St. Johns bridge in Portland. I really like this photo because to me, it looks like it could be so many different things, arches in a church, the end of a tunnel, or underground somewhere. I really like how many levels there are to this photo.

Here is the test swatch for my big 8x10

My favorite part of this photo is the scraggly twigs creeping across the window. This is outside the Japanese Gardens downtown and I really like how what's behind the window is barely able to be seen. It really gives it a sense of mystery.

I really like the line composition in this picture. I think that the leading lines all the way across the photo. I think that the repetition of the geometric shapes really helps make the photograph.

Henri Catrier Bresson

I really like this photo because it screams 'loss of innocence' to me. There is a long line of soldiers and then a little girl is peaking her head out from between them. It shows that war touches everyones lives and that it takes so much away. I think that this is a powerful photograph because of the contrast of size between the big, strong soldiers and the sweet little girl holding flowers.

How to make a super pretty bow :)

Dorothea Lange

Active 1907-1957

I really respect and enjoy her photography because she shows what human suffering really looks like. She doesn't sugar coat how mistreated and miserable the victims of poverty were during the Great Depression. Lange is able to capture the struggle of these people in a photograph and reveal what is really going on to the outside world. To me, she is taking more than just a picture, to me, she is capturing the truth.
