Four Square

For this project I selected an image and mirrored and rotated it.  Then I applied different filters for a cool effect.

Negative Space

Here I created a silhouette and filled it with an interesting design.

Punny

For this assignment we had to create a visual pun. My phrase was "serial killer"

Filtered Portraits

I really liked this picture of me and my friend Emily (you can check out her blog too, she's in my class).  We had to make a grid design and apply different filters to each image.  The center one is my favorite.

I like photos that tell a story and convey a strong emotion.  The images don't necessary need to be "pretty" or "happy."  I  admire the work of spot news photographers and of Ansel Adams.  I like looking at Pulitzer Prize winning photos, even if they are of unpleasant or disturbing images.  To me, photos should tell a story and make people think in a new way.  Photos should illicit a strong reaction.
 A powerful photograph can change the world and the way we think.

15 Green Things

For this assignment, I had to incorporate 15 unrelated images into a single image.  This assignment was really difficult and I don't really like how my final image came out because it does not seem like a cohesive image.
