Printed










These are the picture that i printed. My favorite, bar none, it the bottom image. It is Albino asparagus. I like how it has pattern, but it isnt compleatly symmetrical, and not straight lines. I love how the light reflects of of the juicy asparagus, i didnt even know asparagus' were juicy! It has depth, but it is still on a flat surface. I love this image! Also, the one above it, that was the first time i came up with the idea to shine light through the image. I pupousfully made it a little blurry, i like it that way because it is supposed to make you feel kind of cozy, well that is how i feel at any rate. Another one i truly enjoy is the cabbage piled on itself. It is simple, yet interesting, and i wish i had given it a spritz of water, to make it more interesting. I also relly like my tomato. The light refecting, and the off-centered-ness of the slice. Yay! The rest, i like alot, but some of the ones that i did not print are better than the ones i did print, but i still like the images. I would fight to the death for the two previously mentioned cabbages, and the asparagus, but the others i would replace with ones that i shot later in life. This Project was top 3 assignments ever. I owe something (hopefully repaid by cupcakes) to slade for giving me this idea. I ran with it. I looked forward to shooting. One saturday i got up at 6:00 AM!! to photograph, and the funny thing is i did not mind in the slightest. Because i loved this assinment so so much, it was really easy for me to be creative, and enthusiasm travels a long way. That is probably the biggest thing i learned this term. I noticed that when i had some sort of personal stake in the assignment, the pictures were much much much better. EXAMPLE: numbers vs. Portraits. For numbers i was very reluctant to start, and i was coming off of summer, and i was unsure if i liek you, Mr. Slade, or not. Portraits, i was determined to capture the true person. That is still one of my favorite pictures i have ever taken. It was truly my models pesonality, all because i liked the assignment. The same applies to my fruit. I started to have names for my fruit that i took to pictures of. The small cabbage was Mufasa, the green cabbage was william of orange, and the grapefruit was lothar. It was a personal claim to the assignment is what made it so good.

Mmmmmmmm, juicy.

I just think that I can't even go into details about why I like them, because they're all so good! Some are juicy, some are wet, and some look detailed and veiny and some look...blah. blah. blah.

I don't know! A.....+!
