This photograph was taken by Arnfinn Lie, her photo's are amazing. She has taken a lot of landscape shots. This particular shot was taken in Norway, a place that I would now like to visit. check her out!
This picture was taken in tibet. Throughought this semester i have began looking at images differently. A lot of places that I would never have stopped to take the time to look at, now inspire me to go to new places, or even just stop and take a look around.

This picture caught my eye. I really like the effect and colors added on the train. The artist said that the image was Shot with a Canon EOS 60D, and the colors were edited in through Photoshop. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to capture images and edit them in photoshop, like in this photo.

STROBES


In these past few weeks I've taken pictures with amazing lights, strobe lights. One thing that has always fascinated me about these lights is that they can capture crazy pictures when they're combined with a bullet. The picture is lit with strobe lighting and it's a paintball, filled with orange paint...as the bullet is going through the ball the picture is taken and it's fast action caught in a photograph. I don't have a gun to shoot out stuff or things to blow up but if I did and I could capture something like this...I'd do it.

My final project is loosely based on works by David Hockney.
I took portraits (which is what I plan on doing for work) and made them into "Hockney-esque" prints. They took a long time to make but they were so much fun to shoot, I can't to print this project and show it to the class. I'm happy with the way they turned out and I think for the first time I took someone else's idea and made it my own.

Creepy old lady


On my way to Navy Pier, I stopped by an art gallery, I was super intrigued when I saw an old lady looking out the gallery window. I thought she was a real live person when I couldn't stop staring at her I had to go inside and find out once and for all if she was indeed a live person. Finally getting inside, I came to find that she was in fact not a real woman! She was so real looking that it took my brain a very long time to process she didn't have a pulse. I think this old lady is incredibly real looking and I'm not sure what I would've done if she really was real.
I've attached the link to the gallery she is in, enjoy!
