New York City

On Monday I took a school trip to NYC to explore and take photos. I had no specific ideas of anything to find and just took random pictures of what i found interesting. These are just a few of the images I took on the trip. 

Breadth

This first image expresses the idea of font, texts, and signs. The reasons how it expressed this idea is clear. I took this image while walking past this sign as just a quick "hey that looks kinda cool" shot not expecting to like it as much as I do.

This image expresses street scenes and graffiti which is very obvious as to why. I was very unsure about this image when I first took it but I kept going back to it mainly because the coloring.  The strong orange attracts my eye and keeps bringing me back to it. 

I chose this image to express unusual perspective because, unless you commonly lay on the ground, this is not how you would usually see a caterpillar. It's a view that doesn't seem so abnormal at first but the focus solely on the caterpillar and the angle is not the normal view. 

This image represents directional lines which I think is relatively obvious as to why. The buildings create the lines that cause your eye to travel down to the cars. The cars then create another line that causes your eyes to travel across the scene leading to the girl. 

Winter Moment

They say a story is worth a thousand words mainly because there's a story. The story to this is I was at my grandparent's house and wanted to test out my new lenses I had gotten for Christmas. I decided to go into her sewing room. It has been and probably always will be one of my favorite rooms in her house, I have so many amazing memories from there spending time with my grandma as she taught me to sew and started my creative spirit. I could go on for a thousand words about this room but I won't....for now. 

Orenda

Orenda is defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary as an extraordinary invisible power believed by the Iroquois Indians to pervade in varying degrees all animate and inanimate natural objects as a transmissible spiritual energy capable of being exerted according to the will of its possessor. 

Philly Philly Philadelphia

Last Friday I went with my photo class and the art class at our school to a place in Philadelphia called Globe Dye Works. For those of you who don't know, Globe Dye Works was an old yarn dyeing company which became shut down and then bought by artists and is now studio space for many artists some being residential. Some areas, however, have not been renovated and are still run down and still have many things that were left behind. There were many types of artists here such as sculptors, painters, photographers, culinary artists, and more.  

"Make Water Stains"

Throughout the course of the last week I have been exploring with the idea of "Make Water Stains". Water stains has many meanings such as the stain left on wood from the condensation of the glass or the writing on an image. I decided to take this further and not do just the basic water stains. I started with the thought of water and ways to stain water. I then proceeded with the idea of drops of food coloring in water and, after making a make shift light studio, these were the final products. 

Flying High Everywhere

Take a trip down to DC and you can find a flag on every corner. These are only a few.
