Letters, letters everywhere...

Alright so I have been slacking. Well I guess its not slacking if you just haven't had the time. Well I have been super busy lately! On top of everything I do regularly I had a photography field trip with my class to the Getty Museum last weekend, Tyson and I went to the Griffith Observatory two weekends ago and I was also able to take some pictures of Baby Eli plus I've been looking letters in everything.

My last photography class assignment was to take pictures of letters all over. Surprisingly addictive and harder than it sounds. I didn't make it to the last photography class so I don't know what this weeks homework is but this coming Tuesday will be the last class. I feel that I have learned so much yet I have sooooooooo much more to learn. I wish I knew more photographers so I could pick their brain, what classes did they take if any? What kind of camera and accessories do they use? Which ones are their favorites? So much to know!

Here are my favorite pictures from recent things Ive been doing...

Baby Eli












The Getty








Letters, letters










I took some pictures today for The Pomegranate Basket and can't wait to see how they look. I hope they turn out great! I will post some soon so you can let me know what you think!

Hey guys just wanted to update you on my photography journey! I have begun part 2 of my photography class. The first week was pretty informative and we talked about what made a photo interesting. For example, the thirds rule. Break a photo up in to equal thirds, and put your subject in between the thirds (at the lines) and your photo will be more interesting. Your eye doesn't work as hard when your subject is smack dab in the middle so we tend to glance at these pictures but not really examine and admire them. There are cases when a photo works with the subject in the middle, and each photo is different. Like when you are trying to show that something has symmetry, you wold center the subject in the middle.


Our shooting assignment for the first class was "Symbols of Power". I wanted to show some of my favorites...


I tried not to go with literal power but more symbolic power which was not that easy. I liked the last one the best and my teacher used it as an example. Its not so much what the subject of the picture is, but its also how I shot the picture. The fact that I am shooting up to the subject gives the subject that much more of a presence of power.



This weeks assignment is to find letters. For example, I zoomed into the tire of the hummer that could be a letter O or if I took a closeup of lattice work I could probably get an X or a T!

The teacher warned us it could become an obsession! Let me know if you find any that are worth having and Ill zip right over to take a picture!
