"Family Ties"- Gender Swap Assignment With Older Photo

This is actually an old photograph of my grandfather that I never got a chance to meet. It was kind of interesting to morph us together because I discovered that we both share a lot of the same facial features.

"I'm just trying to make a dollar!" - Street Photography

For this project, I just wanted to take pictures of people who make their living by working on the street everyday. I tried to capture a variety of ways that people earn a living on the street, and by doing this assignment, I learned that I'm not very comfortable taking pictures of random people that I don't know. For one, you tend to get evil looks from them. Overall, I think my subjects tend to be more interesting than the actual composition of my photos here, but I like them none the less.

Portraits

I really loved the bright colors in the photo with the pumpkins. The second photo was taken when it was really warm out and the coolness of the water falling created a nice contrast. I thought that the vines in the third photograph created interesting lines and actually helped to frame the subject. In the fourth photo, I just like the tranquility of the whole scene and how contemplative it is. All of the photos were taken on the portrait setting with the highest clarity possible.

Same Landscape- a little photoshop

I decided to take out the powerlines.

Bad Image

Here is one of my least favorite images. I didn't like the angle that the photo was taken from, and it wasn't as clear and crisp of an image as I would have hoped for.

Assignment #1- Famous Photo

Photo by Carleton Watkins

I like this photo because the photographer captured the steam rising from the water. The perspective of looking out through the inlet makes for a great angle as well, and the clarity of the photo is amazing for a photograph that is almost 150 years old.
