Poetry in the Form of Alternative Photography

As a Photography Major in college, I took many photo classes and discovered that my most powerful pieces were the the ones that spoke to my soul.  These pieces usually incorporated elements of my poetry and they illustrated who I was as a person.  I mainly do art for myself, and not so much for others, so I think my friend was right on when he said I was an “artist” and not a “designer.”

The following pieces were part of a project I did in Alternative Photography (if I remember correctly)

Reflection

Childhood Dreams

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Landscapes or Seascapes

Cee’s challenge this week was landscapes or seascapes, but I’m going to do something a little different and post images of skyscapes that resemble seascapes 🙂

On my trip to Vegas, our flight was delayed a total of 4 hours, so what was supposed to be a noon flight ended up being a late afternoon flight where I got to see the sunset in the sky. It was an amazing view and probably the only thing beneficial about our flight delay (being stuck at the crowded LA airport for 3 hours).

I hope you enjoy these.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Glass

I came across moj punkt patrzenia’s post today and it reminded me of some old photos that I took that I wanted to share with you =)

These photos were taken in 2009 at the de Young Museum with my 35 mm camera.  If I remember correctly, no Photoshop was used.  Now, all of a sudden, I’m tempted to dig up my old camera and film canisters and take some old-school, authentic b&w photos.
