    Future

    This photo shows what I want for the future: Friends I love, being able to leave the house again course,I should be doing a lot better in the future than I am right now. I look to the future with those words in mind, hoping. they will be true.

    Self Portrait – How Others see you

    This photo represents the way other people see me. I’m actually very insecure, but many people see me as someone very sure and very successful, which is why I have the medals. I don’t think I’m that good at volleyball, but people point to my awards as reasons that I am. The poster behind me represents this as well, kind messages from all my teammates about me, and how I inspire them, when I don’t always feel that way.

    Food

    Nothing is better than a delicious cookie, and I love to bake them! I don’t usually make sugar cookies, but they’re fun to make on occasion, if only for the shapes you can cut out.

    Storms

    I love storms, especially the ones in the Spring and. Summer. It’s so fun to be hanging out by a lake or taking a hike, only to be drenched by warm showers from above. This photo comes from a time like that, camping in the summer, when a dramatic rainstorm suddenly hit the lake we were playing at.

    Depth of Field and Perspective

    I struggled with this photo a lot, I had trouble setting it up and taking it. Eventually I got this, which I really enjoyed. My dog, Koda, looks just a little afraid of this “giant” tennis ball, which I find extremely amusing.

    Seven Deadly Sins

    For my deadly sin, I chose sloth. I thought that this photo really represented to me what it means to be tired. Just laying on the floor. Sloth is about being lazy and not working, so the setting and time of this photo works well, as it was during tech week when the subject of this, Joie, is an ASM and needs to be working rather than laying on the floor.

    Musical

    This is one of my favorite photos ever. It’s an action photo of my friend Emory dancing in her living room with a Britney Spears shirt on. When I think music, it really translates into dancing for me. This photo captures so much energy and fun, her eyes are closed and she’s feeling the music. I just think this is such a living photo that is made of music.

    Viewpoint

    This is the bird’s eye view. I took this in New Zealand from the tallest building in Aukland. I decided to change the color to make it how a bird sees things as well. Birds see far more color than people, and see UV as well. Though it isn’t as pretty, birds see things in far higher saturation. I think it’s cool to take a point of view and make it more realistic.

    Film Noir

    I really love this photo. It’s of my cousin Katie at our grandparent’s house. We decided to take some photos and edit them to get the film noir feel. I decided not to make this photo in black and white because it takes away from the photo. It takes away so much warmth and life from her face. I know it isn’t very film noir to have color, but it just doesn’t look good. The story seems to leave her in black and white.

    Work

    This is a photo of my partner Arabella working on our narrative film. This was so much work, it was hours and hours of concentrated time. We had tons of film clips to sync audio to and then edit together. This photo represents work in so many different forms, the work it takes to make a film, the work of production, the work of editing, etc..
