Blog Post #53 – Frame the Frame

1/400 f/20. ISO800

I was so lucky enough to have taken a trip to Italy with my dad over spring break. At the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, I photographed the ceiling. Standing in the very center, the ceiling paints a picture of someone’s life service, and beliefs. This is only one panel out of hundreds covering every inch of the museum ceilings, each unique and telling its individual story.

Blog Post #50 – Using Props

1/250 f/10. ISO 100 + Invert

Believe it or not, this is a picture of a baby blanket covered in thorns being disposed of in a local park bin. I ultimately decided to invert the image because although it was cool on its own, the filter makes it come to life. Specifically, the orange color makes its appearance on the can creates an alluring contrast to the cool-toned theme throughout the rest of the photograph.

A modern convenience I could not live without is public transportation. Nothing beats spending $5 to go across state, or in this case, country lines. This photo was taken on a train ride from Vienna to Florence.

Blog Post #48 – Current Events

ISO 100/ f/30

These two photos are one of the only ones we got of the annual tulip picking National Womens Day celebration. After messing with the settings, Mahaut and I asked a woman to take a photo of us waiting in line. She, along with everyone else had brought an umbrella to keep themselves dry while waiting in line (during a storm); we, had not. When we finally got to the tulip picking three hours later, it was beautiful. It rained during my documentation of the National Womens Day celebration (a current event).

Blog Post #45 – Musical

f/200 ISO/100 1/25

This weekend I went on a small hike up a lusciously green hillside to a picnic with a beautiful man. We listened to music and talked until the cold air forced us out. The trees swayed and leaves danced harmoniously with us. A wonderful day to be alive.
