Rule of Thirds Motion

1/100, f/4, ISO 800

For motion, you can see my friend Mia Delgo positioned on the left “third” of the photograph. I took this picture on a cloudy day overlooking the SF Bay. She is in motion trying to balance in a tricky spot on this balance beam.

Self-Portrait

1/20, f2.8, ISO800

We were given the assignment to take a picture representing ourselves including us, but without including our faces. The category of this post is also storytelling, so I wanted to tell a story about myself using things that I think are strong symbols of who I am and what I’m like. This is a picture I took of my room on an average day, which is where I spend 99% of my time when I’m at home. You can see my cat, Pickles sitting on my bed. He likes it when I leave the window open so he can watch the birds on the tree outside. We can also see the posters in my room which are mostly musicians and bands that I like to listen to. I think of music as a big part of my identity, and I love listening to all genres of music (except country). There is also a poster of my favorite animated movie, “My Neighbor Totoro”. Although I’m taking film, not animation, this was one of my favorite movies that reminds me of my childhood.
