Avocado

2009-05-28T07:15:00.001-07:00

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.

Avocado

2009-05-28T06:58:00.000-07:00

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.

2009-05-26T07:03:00.000-07:00

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!!!!!

city shots

2009-05-26T06:37:00.001-07:00

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

2009-05-26T06:37:00.000-07:00

This was from our copycat assignment last semester

2009-05-26T06:32:00.000-07:00

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

2009-05-25T12:24:00.001-07:00

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

2009-05-25T12:20:00.000-07:00

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.

2009-05-22T06:41:00.001-07:00

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!

2009-05-22T06:41:00.000-07:00

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

2009-05-22T06:37:00.000-07:00

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

chicago park

2009-05-22T06:36:00.000-07:00

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.

2009-02-12T07:03:00.000-08:00

I took this at Harper College. I thought the angle was interesting and the bricks would give it depth. It was a really rainy day though and I was scared I was going to fall off the ledge I was standing on. I'm pretty happy with it and I like how the ivy turned out.

When Backgrounds Decide to Combine

2009-02-11T06:44:00.000-08:00

The first picture is where this homeless carrot, who is a veteran of some vegetable war, sits and blabbers to Ham and Green Eggs about nonsense. I use this background as a simple probably one time or two time use background. It isn't re-used as much because the location would already be shown completely in the scene with the carrot, so if I use it again someone would say, "Hey! Haven't the two already been there?" I would probably deny it and claim that they are silly, but we all know it would be true.

This second picture is a picture I drew of clouds. I use this as a background in the animation I do. It is just clouds because it makes it easy to control this 'layer' so I can re-use it over and over again whenever I need a sky to be shown. There are many other ways to making a sky layer, but this is one way and I think the clouds are adorably fluffy.

The last picture is what happens when you combine them together. See how happy it looks there? Too bad though it's not real.

Lone Apple

2009-02-06T06:58:00.000-08:00

This image is of the apple orchard at the Botanical Gardens. While walking around I noticed that hardly any stray apples were laying around on the ground. Someone who worked there told me that as the apples ripen they're picked and donated to a homeless shelter. This is the only apple that I saw rotting on the ground.

2009-02-06T06:51:00.000-08:00

This is a photo from a shoot where I experimented with double exposures. I took my friend Steph to several different grave yards to try and capture a ghosting appearance.

nature and snow

2009-02-06T06:32:00.001-08:00

This is from a photo shoot i did about how the snow has effected nature. This was a plant in my back yard. I thought that the lighting and shadows were perfect at this time of day.

2009-02-06T06:31:00.000-08:00

I did a fashion shoot of my friend Mike. He was really good with posing and didn't need much direction. I did the photoshoot in my basement with a white backdrop, 2 umbrella lights, and a hair light.

2009-02-06T06:29:00.000-08:00

I made this illustration by using both Illustrator and Photoshop. For this time, I was interested to the textures of wild animals, like zebras, tigers, giraffes, etc. I tried to use those textures as an accent in the illustration. I hope it worked.

St. Christopher; Protect Us

2009-02-05T15:31:00.000-08:00

The two hands are praying and holding a St. Christopher medal for protection. The assignment was for history and I chose to do history in relation to religion.

Factory.

2009-02-03T08:22:00.000-08:00

2009-02-03T08:21:00.000-08:00

I took this picture for our abstract themed photo-shoot. I wanted to do something related with nature so I decided to shoot trees/tree branches. This was the end result after playing around with the image in photoshop.

Orphans

2009-02-03T08:02:00.000-08:00

This is a picture that was taken in Haiti when I went this past summer. These boys are orphans who live in Les Cayes. I went there to help at the orphanage and teach english to the boys and girls and took this picture while the rest of the orphans were playing.

Imitation is Flattery in it's Biggest Form

2009-01-08T19:17:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of my friend, the theme for this roll was to imitate three photos of a famous photographer and I chose to imitate William Egglestons's photographs.

2009-01-07T06:51:00.000-08:00

This is a picture I took during a vacation in Hawaii. While there I mostly captured nature and human involvement.

The Pitiful Ham.

2008-12-08T06:38:00.000-08:00

Look at that sad, sad ham. Does anyone want that ham? NO! Why? Because Veggie town is a town full of people who discriminate against this poor meat. This is a jpeg of a animation of the ham walking. It's pretty cute.

Chemistry

2008-12-08T06:33:00.000-08:00

This is a photo of my sister and her boyfriend. My statement of intent was to convey personality and connections between people without photographing their faces.

Polar Bear

2008-12-05T06:50:00.000-08:00

I was inspired by Andy Warhol to make this illustration for recent assignment.

Hippy

2008-12-05T06:49:00.001-08:00

This picture is of my friend Tom, the theme of the shoot was history, so I did a 60s/70s theme.

Clint Eilers

2008-12-05T06:49:00.000-08:00

This is a picture from our political photo shoot. My statement of intent was to show how politics are corrupt. This is my brother lighting a cigarette with a dollar bill.

Ruins

2008-12-05T06:47:00.001-08:00

An assignment for the FHS Photo and Multimedia Studio class. The background was taken in the ruins of Ephesus, Turkey. The girl (Jackie) was imposed later using Photoshop. I played around with the levels and contrast and added textures. It was for the History Assignment (Ancient Ruins).

This is a photo from the copycat assignment. We had to replicate three photos by a photographer to learn about what they go through and what they do to get the image that they get. My photographer was Gottfried Helnwein. My sister is the subject in the photo.
