photo essay
assessment
I took my photo essay in my yard. The subject matter is things I used to play with/be around as a child. I selected this place because I have a lot of great childhood memories here because I spent a lot of time outside and in my yard growing up. I am trying to portray a feeling of innocence, as well as imagination that I once played with in these places. I feel my images really give a good description of what it was like to be a kid in my yard, and it shows all the places me and my friends would play in. My first photo is a swing which I feel is kind of inviting the viewer into the photo essay. My photos are unified by the aspect of making everything seem large, as a child would see it.
letter forms
I created the word hello. I cropped all of my pictures and turned them all to black and white in photoshop. I adjusted the contrast in most of my pictures. I think the water drain on the ground has the most interesting composition. The black and white unifies the letter forms. If I were to repeat the assignment I would spell Tina. A logical place to unify letterforms would be a beach because there would be many things that are similar to each other.
