More Assignments...

Just in case I hadn't told you before.  I'm taking three classes this semester: Intro to Photography, Photographic Illumination, and Intro to...Computers.  (another issue I'll mention some other time hehehe).  Anyways, after the whole history and theory at the beginning of each and every class I've taken and will probably take, now we get to the good stuff.

Votes are in!!

So, votes were in today for our Art Movements assignment. We had ten points to give out to each photo. I personally can't really give out points just to give them out. I like to be fair, so I made my own little categories to distribute the points:

• 2 points - composition
• 2 points - sharpness / blurring
• 2 points - color / light
• 4 points - idea (meaning if I personally liked the idea behind the photo)

Now, the funny part about this is I used this to score my own photos.  Honestly, though, I went ahead and gave a 10 to my surreal photo.  HAD TO.  Like I said before...it's very dear to me.  I tried to be unbiased but just couldn't. 

Assignment -- "Art Movements in Photography"

For my illumination class, we were given some terms we had to define. Then, we had to hand in those defined terms with a photograph representing each one.  Below you'll find a a video showing the photos I chose from the many shots I took, and if you visit my Flickr Photostream you'll find the photos I turned in.

Jackiri Photo?

Being behind and in front of the camera was always a passion and a hobby for me.  Career-wise I had set out on a path towards something I've always wanted to do, or at least I thought I did.  It's been a long and difficult path, but I always believed that when you want something you do just about anything for it.  About half a year ago or more I found myself asking the question "IS this what I really want?"  This question took me by surprise because, like I said, I always saw myself in that path.  I started to see the realities of that and just began to wonder if it was something I should rethink.  After so much time dedicated to try and achieve it, please know it has NOT been an easy thing to do.
