Avocado

This picture was taken in the morning in Minneapolis. We went to an outdoor market in Minneapolis for breakfast and my friend Mike bought tortillas and avocados. I thought that it would make an interesting picture with really cool colors.

This is a picture that I took in Minneapolis, MN a few weeks ago. We had been in the car for a really long time and everyone was really tired, but I decided to do an impromptu photoshoot before we went out to see a band. The two people in the photo are my friends Colleen and 
Mike.

This is a girl named Matilda who lives in the orphanage I stayed at. She is 9 years old and loves getting her picture taken.
This was a photo taken during our photo field trip downtown. I liked the way the shadows were casted and the contrast they made with the pavement below.

Chicago!!!!!

I like how this picture turned out because the sunlight creates a lot of contrast and shadows. Also, the lines in the shadows, poles, and tiles give the composition a nice depth of field.



This is a view of the train tracks behind Millennium Park. There's this metal structure of sorts that I was attracted to, and I used the lines to break up the space. I think the diagonals make the photo more interesting. 

Books

This was from our copycat assignment last semester

This is a picture that I took when I was on the island of Ile-A-Vache, a small island of the coast of Haiti. There are no cars, no electricity, and no clean running water. In the picture, a girl is standing with her two younger brothers watching us while we walked by.

Magnify



This photograph was part of the abstract roles we shot. I really liked the whole idea behind only magnifying a certain part of the image.

Solarization


This image was taken in Florida, while she was sitting in the sun. I really liked the angle, and thought that this image might look good solarized, so I solarized it and I really liked the outcome.

this picture was taken in millenium park on the walk way. this was the best shot that i got at that bridge. i thought that the angle that it was taken is good. 

mohawk!

This was taken at millennium park when we were downtown Chicago for our photo field trip. I thought it would be interesting to get a picture of this man doing his work.

Woman

I took this picture downtown Chicago. I was with some friends and took a I few portraits of people carrying out their daily routines.

This is a picture that i took in chicago. this is in a small park that was next to a building. i think that this shows the nature side instead of the industrial side of chicago.
