Staring At The Ceiling

My classes are getting slightly stressful. How am I going to photograph something mundane, but make it look creative? I researched inspiration, took a walk in a park close to my house, took a relaxing bath, and still nothing came to mind. Just when I was about to throw in the towel I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling and thought to myself. What am I going to do? I then saw the fans blades making a cool pattern. At first I tried to snap a photo of it, but then my ceiling fan started to look like a regular object. I have been taking multiple long exposure photographs and though, out of curiosity, what my fan would look like as a long exposure. I fell in love with the image and began to edit it. The more I played with my image the more trippy it started to look. Photography concepts are everywhere and it's up to us photographers to show the world what we see.

'Cause Baby You're A Firework!

4th of July is a time for fun, but for me I was on a mission to create my very first firework photo! Of course I had fun along the way though. When I took the images of the fireworks I set my camera up outside of Kaboom Town at a friend's apartment. It was me and 8 of my friends crowded around on a small balcony to watch the fireworks. I had a great time capturing these beautiful bombs of color. This image is actually three photos in one. The location I took the fireworks was not as pretty as I wanted it to be. So I went downtown and took a different photo and layered the fireworks into it. My secret is out, but I thought I would get caught anyways! Happy shooting and I'm looking forward to next year's show and location!

While I'm on break from classes...

I made it my goal to at least finish one book before my summer vacation is over. The book I decided to sink my teeth into is called "The Alchemist" By Paulo Coelho. This book takes you on a journey of what people should become and what people are comfortable with becoming and following your instincts. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a short story full of wonder. I am not currently finished with the book, but I am excited to see how the boy's journey plays out!
