This is from one of Matt Eich's folders called Sin and Salvation in Baptist Town . I like most of his work because it is very Tumblr material . I like this picture in particular because  it is focusing on the guy standing by the stop sign in the hoodie. It looks like a scene from a movie where he' waiting for someone or something. He looks like a "gangster" in a movie kind of like 8 Mile , this is what I think of when I see this picture. I like the lighting in the picture because it is dark but not too dark, and it has like a green color filter kind of to it. Maybe the stop sign pole can be leading lines because it makes him the focus point to me.

This Week's Photography Experience 01/09/16

This week we didn't know what to take pictures of, so first I let one of my friends go and she chose to take them outside but it was windy and cold so I didn't want to take mines outside. Me and my other friend were waiting for her to finish but we got cold so we went inside and we waited for her in there for a few minutes. When she came back in it was my turn, so we went to the cafeteria and it was A lunch. After we got in there I wanted to leave so we stood in there debating if we should just take them in there and then I finally left so they followed me. I didn't know what to take pictures of so I just took them of the vending machine. Most of my pictures didn't come out good because they all came out blurry because I guess I was shaky. So this weeks photography experience wasn't that good.

Hans Neleman

This is a portrait of Shakira, taken by Hans Neleman. I like this picture because Shakira looks really pretty in it and I like her hair. It's messy but I like it because it still looks good, I like how the lighting just hits her face and she kind of looking at where the light is coming from rather than straight ahead. I feel like the old chair she is sitting on and the chains around her really go together and stand out. The background is all black so it can make her face the focus point of the picture. Her dress is black, maybe to match with the background.

William Wegman

This is a picture taken by William Wegman and it's a dog and it looks like he has hands and is wearing a dress. There is also a portrait of a dog on the wall. William Wegman likes to photograph dogs and to me most of the pictures are weird like this one. I think it is weird because the dog is acting like a human. It also has on a wig. If you look closely you can see the human hand is coming from behind the couch, but they made it seem like it is the dogs hand. The dog doesn't have any legs or the left hand. it only has a dog head and a right human hand.

This Weeks Photography Experience 1/26/16

This week  we had to take about 20 photos while our eyes were closed and you would spin around at the same time. When I took mine, I only took like 6 pictures that were not that good. Most of them were of the sky because I didn't realize that the camera was facing upwards. I took my photos by the orchestra portables because we have never taken pictures by them before, and it didn't turn out that good. There was nothing interesting right there. I took them there because I didn't know where to take them. I didn't want to take them as the same place as everyone in my group took them. I probably could have chosen a better place to take them. I wasn't the only one in my group to take them at the sky instead of the people or our surroundings.

Edward Weston

Edward Weston was born March 24, 1886, in Highland Park, Illinois. The first pictures he took were of the parks of Chicago and his aunt's farm. In 1960 Edward moved to California following his photograph in Camera and Darkroom. After working as a surveyor for San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake he started working as an itinerant photographer. He would take pictures of things such as children, pets and funerals. In 1908 Edward Weston realized he needed formal training, and returned east and attended the Illinois College of Photography in Effingham, Illinois. He completed a 12 month course in half that time and returned back to California. In 1909 Weston moved to the Louis A. Mojonier Portrait Studio as a photographer.

My Photography Experience in School 1/20/16

Yesterday I went out of the class to take pictures of reflections around the school, when i was walking looking at the window because it had our reflection on it the lady at the front desk with fake eyebrows yelled at us saying "quit standing around, you need to be taking pictures or you need to go back to class." We were only standing there for like a minute and she was all mad, so we walked away and went to go take pictures some wheres else. Then about 10 minutes later we went to the auditorium and we sat down to find a picture to take and the fake eyebrow lady came in and yelled at us again saying " Y'all guy need to get back to class now if you're not taking pictures, and I'm going to call your teacher!!!" So I we left and she yelled at us again to get back but we were already walking back. I didn't have a good photography experience for this week so far, we didn't get good pictures because we kept getting yelled at for no reason. Maybe next week we will not get yelled at and we will get to capture amazing photos of next weeks assignment.
