Self Portraits

This is probably my favorite self portrait! I like how the focus is on the umbrella and my face is blurry and indistinct in the background. I'm glad that I got the 'one eye covered' angle I was hoping for.

This is of me with an umbrella looking at my reflection in the glass window. Unfortunetly the reflection didn't turn out so good, which was supposed to be my focus.

This is of me looking serious with an umbrella. This might stay or not, depending on if I will print out a picture I think looks better.

Self Portrait Contact Sheet

This is my contact sheet for my self portrait project. The light turned out good in most of them, but I feel like I could have spent more time doing this shoot.

Self Portrait Layering Images

This is part of a digital project that has images blended on each other to give a funky picture. One picture is of in a cactus garden (my eyes are closed on that one) and the other is me at a California beach. The face on that one looks pale because it is blended on top of a cactus!

This is a blended digital photo of two mountain scenes; one mountain is an actual mountain in California and the other is the bobsled mountain ride in Disneyland!

This is of me on Mt St Helens (the ghosty image) and on another hike on a mountain (me facing away). I love hiking, and getting to the summit of St Helens was so much fun! It was also a beautiful day and my birthday!

Portrait Project

This is Ariel again! I've seen that I tend to prefer high contrast photos, and her dark eye makeup and pale skin are perfect for this. I used a 35mm camera outside to take this.

Ariel looking haughty. Me on the ground looking up to get this angle...

This is my friend who I'll just call "Ariel". For Halloween she dressed up as a dark angel and had some wicked (haha! pun intended) face paint on that she did herself. I took the opportunity and got some photos of her outside. Thanks Ariel!

I especially like this photo because Ariel is looking at the camera directly.

Ariel looking off into the distance, judging her enemy... the guy in the pizza car who just passed...

Contact Sheet People Project

This is my second contact sheet made with two photo paper sheets. I placed my negatives on the photo paper and flashed light on it from an enlarger. The top three strips are from a different project, but the ones below that are from my people project photo assignment.

Cross-Process Project

This is a digital photo of my family's dog Kiwi. She has dirt on her nose because she was digging in my backyard. I used cross-processing in order to get the bottom photo.

This is another digital photo of my family's dog Kiwi. She is looking kind of looking confused which makes her SO cute! I cross-processed the photo on the bottom.

This is a rock/island out in the sea that I thought was really cool. This was taken with a digital camera in the summer in California and the bottom is cross-processed.

This is a digital picture of my sister and brother in Washington at my cousins place. They have a great sledding hill and it takes forever to climb up. However, the ride down is the best! I cross-processed the bottom picture. I was heavy using the blue because I wanted to convey the coldness of the mountain.

Contact Sheet

This is a contact sheet showing my negatives. The bottom one and a half negative strips are from a previous project but the top ones are from my light project. Unfortunately not a lot of my photos came out because I didn't use enough light in my photos.

Light Project

This is part of my light project. I used a 35mm SLF camera with a slow shutter speed. I had to prop up my camera with textbooks and other stuff to make a stable surface, but it was pretty fun! I had my mom put a flashlight on top of this hourglass, so here's a shout-out for her putting up with me to get my shot!

This is a picture of a glass golfball. I put a flashlight facing the glass on a table and I took the picture using a 35mm SLF camera with a slow shutter speed and the camera was propped up with stuff I found around the house.

This is a photo of a Indian-like vase with some curly branches coming from it. My light source is a light right above the object. I liked how the fuzz on the branches can be seen in the light and I would say that this is a direct light shot.

Tilt Shift

This is a picture I took at the Monkey Face Hike at Smith Rock State Park in central Oregon 2010. You can see the people horizontally rappelling to the mouth of the monkey, and from there they climb to the top of it's 'head'.

A beach shot in northern California. The water wasn't as warm as I thought though...

This is the Golden Gate Bridge! 'Nuff said.

Some boats in California just chillin in the water.

This is the Architectural Graveyard of Cal Poly where the final projects of past architecture students rest in peace for tourists to explore.

Photogram

I created a photogram by using two negative film strips and a film canister opener.

No Limits Project

A 35mm SFL Canon camera was used to take this photo of a spider web with a house in the background.

A 35mm SFL Canon camera was used. The picture here is of me looking up a tree branch, focusing on a sliver of the bark.

I photographed my friend jumping over a hedge. She looks as if she's going from the wilds to civilization! I used a 35mm SFL camera to take this.

Some random objects that I took a picture of with a 35mm SFL camera. There is a hourglass, candle holder, bamboo plant, and a clay monster I made.

This is a photograph of a metal cat with some other metal dog and cat structures in the background.

Pinhole Image Project

My self-portrait negative photograph, in which I used a pinhole camera to take, in shown above. The duration of the time that light was exposed to the photo paper was two minutes and thirty-six seconds. The digitally inverted positive picture on the bottom is of the same image.

This is a picture of me sitting on the ground and leaning against the wall in a hallway of my school. The picture taken above was obtained through the use of a pinhole camera. Light was allowed to hit the photo paper for five minutes. This was one of my best pinhole images! The negative is above while the positive image is below. Digital imaging was used to get the positive picture.

This is a picture of a large window in Tualatin High School. The picture was exposed for four minutes. A tree can be seen out the window. The dark negative is above while the digitally altered positive is below.

This is supposed to be an image of a tractor outside of my school. Apparently, the cannera took a picture of the trees and building instead. Oops. The image taken had an exposure time of three seconds. The bottom shows the positive and the top image is the negative.
