I LOVE PHOTOSHOP

Can I just say I really love playing around in photoshop.

It seems like each time I get on I find a new way to make a
picture look different. It means you sit on your behind a
lot, but it's worth it!

These images (above) are for my digitol imaging 2 class.
They took forever because I didn't know want I wanted when I
started them. But I really like how they came out. Fun times.

Finals

Here is a sneak peak of my final projects for two of my classes.
These two black and white images are for my advanced photo studies class.
My concept is about form and shape. I think these turned out really cool,
just how I imagined. Emily was great model, I've used her a few times and
she was perfect for these.

These two Images are for my color class.
I made a book with several images like these from Utah Lake.
I think this was my favorite project throughout semester because I love to go to the lake by my self in the morning and watch the sun hit the water and listen to the birds.So this project was really fun to photograph, and relaxing. I think I'll continue with this one.Plus the book turned out super cool. I, with Gregs help, made a metal book cover and then, with help from Travis, sewed it together. Group effort.

Art show

I'm sooooooo excited, the two pieces I entered into the student art show made it in.
I've never entered before, thinking I didn't want my images to be rejected, this year I said the hell with it and entered. So, if you want to see my work HANGING IN A GALLERY you can go the the Woodbury Art Gallery, it's in the University Mall by Nordstroms. Fun times!

I cross processed this photo from slide film to negative film.
This was my first time cross processing,it was really fun not
knowing what was going to come out.



This is a triptych I made for my digital imaging class. I really love how it turned out. This grass is down by the lake, one of favorite places. I wanted the image to have movement because this grass moves so easily in the wind it's hardly ever still. Yes, I agree the top of the center panel is to blurry, but I did it in camera so there is no way to change it.

Our class was asked if we could only save one photograph, which one would it be?
I chose this one, not JUST because it's a picture of my children, but because it defines each of their personalities so well. I also love the contrast in the image.


We were also asked which of our picture have influenced our work or images that we really like. So here they are......

These pipes are some of my favorite images right. I love the contrast in the colors. The warm and cool play off each other well. I really like the shapes in both of these.

This picture is also on of my favorite because of the formal qualities, the lines in her stockings and the composition. I also like the texure on her legs and the constrast in the lighting.


This two images I chose because the processes I learned in making these will really help my work. In the multiple image picture I made several attempt before getting it right, I learned a lot.
In the car picture the lighting is super cool. I love the magazine OBJEKT and I always wondered how they made the houses and building look so vibrant and colorful, well now I know.

Hero

In the movie Hero there are several versions of the same event. Each version is expressed by a different color. The color red represents passion; the color blue is for love and the colors green and white express youth and truth.
P.S. My favorite part is when the two women are fighting in the golden leafs and trees and their wearing red.

Amelie

Amelie
The color in this movie was so different from most movies, it was part of the story, like a character. I noticed the color in her home was red, where she felt most comfortable. Out in the world the colorwas green and she wore red. Her bathroom was yellow. The color gave the movie almost a pretend or surreal feel to it, like it was in a different time.
P.S. I love the green ruffled mini curtains around her t.v. when she was a child. And after her mother dumps out the fish into the stream, she drops the glass fish bowl in also.
