Little Update

In my 2D class we're working on a rhythm and repeat pattern project. We're taking objects of a certain theme and grouping them together to form patterns. Then that pattern is put in the shape of a necktie or sock. I chose to use photography as a theme and drew a 35mm camera, tripod, film, and a flower design. At first I was worried (as usual) I would not make an interesting pattern, but today in class I cut out my objects I drew and played around with them. I think I have a nice design going and I'm really excited about this project! It's going really well, and I plan to put up some pictures soon of the process. :)

Editing

My uncle told me about this site over the holidays that you can use to edit pictures...and it's wonderful! I've used it alot recently, editing tons of my favorite photos that I've taken. Some of you might have heard of the site, it's called Picnik. It is a free site, but for $24.99 a month you can use the "premium" features and upload 100 pictures at a time. So check it out if you're interested. :)

This is a photo that is my favorite piece from my first photography class I took. It was taken with a 35mm camera with black and white film and I developed it myself in the CCRI dark room. It's an overlay of two photos...and this was the first try which I got really lucky with! But I do have to thank my professor Adam Ryder, for teaching me how to create this effect. So I took a photo of the original and used Picnik to edit it.
