Group Shot #1

Left to right: Melissa Guz, Tamara Stephens, Ana Ramirez, James Sargent, Daniel Gaona brainstorm for their photojournalism group-shot assignment.



Notes: I couldn't think of much to do. Then I just thought that a domino effect sort of shot where little more than the head of each person showed, just staring into nothing in particular in front of them would help show the process of thought between them. If I could do it again I think I would have them group their heads closer and get a little more of the what's to right of the photo. Follow their eyes I suppose.

Cutline: Bird of Paradise blossom in late summer at Pima West Campus.

Notes to self: This was the first thing I tried to photograph and I found myself constantly switching my settings and trying to follow the tip sheet as much as possible. Some were too bright others too dim and just before I was about to panic I took this picture. The top just radiated white and I had to crop vigorously there. Sidewalks on a sunny does not a good photo make. Although I do like the blur of the background. Especially on the left side. I like the contrast of the green to the left and the brown to the right. I really wish I could've cropped out that white line going through the top, but alas.

Cutline: Bird of Paradise blossom late summer on the path to the theatre at West Campus.

Note to self: Flower at West Campus. Originally, I planned to have the flower in the lower left of the center and the winding path blurred in the top right of it, but that section was too white and I thought it would distract from the subject of the photo. But I can't complain, I'm happy I got something decent done today. I need a different mode of transportation. -_-

Andres Aros (Engineering) and friend David Rosato (Web Design) chill before Aros's Enginerring 112 class by playing Starcraft II in the cafeteria.

Diagonal Lines

The combination of diagonal lines with the plant growing freely around and through them gave me the impression of almost a force of nature. So I took a picture of it.

Combination of Lines

I just thought the combination of vertical, horizontal and curved lines was interesting.

Vertical Lines?

Just walking around my backyard and noticed all my shovels and racks lined up vertically. It made me think of the use of vertical lines in class. Not sure why, but I thought I'd post it up anyway.
