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!

Hello

Welcome to the blog

So... Are we done then? or are there more posts coming?

Longest Pinhole Exposure

It was captured by the German artist Michael Wesely, who worked with New York's Museum of Modern Art to photograph the destruction (and subsequent construction) of their building. The shots are ever so ghostly. <3

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll is known mainly for his book Alice in Wonderland. He was an amateur photographer as well. He did landscapes, architecture and portraits. Most of the portraits were of little girls either nude or wearing little to no clothing. He was frowned upon by those around him. The little girl in the picture, is Alice. Carroll was in love with her and even asked to marry her. Alice's family hated him and thus to apologize wrote Alice in wonderland. She was only 5 when they met.
