Dogs in Shining Armor

Here is my first multiple exposure print from my roll of film. I didn't keep track of which photos I took in which order the first time running through my film so that when I developed I would be surprised, and just maybe, I would end up with a really creative picture. On the very bottom of the picture you can see a tray of Cheerios that spell out my name, which are featured in another multiple exposure picture. While I was putting the Cheerios together my dog Sumi would not stop getting in the way, trying to sniff and eat them, which, in turn, inspired this photo. I laid the tray down and managed to get her to sit next to them and somewhat look at the camera. On the next layer I just took a photo of these old knight pictures my mom found in the garage. I like that even though I didn't line the rolls up perfectly the overlying pictures didn't exactly cover up one another; I like that you can see every subject in the photo and the details in each.

Flash from the Past

While going through all of the photos I have developed over the course of one semester I found this photo from the very first roll of film we took. I stood under a tree in my neighborhood and pointed the camera up to capture the branches with a little glimpse of light shining through. I like how you can make out extreme detail in the tree's branches and moss. 

Floating Along

Trying to be a little more creative with my pictures I tried to capture myself floating in the pool. I had a friend take the picture and it turned out well, in my opinion. My favorite part of the photo is how you can see the water ripple on the left side. I also like how the water allows my hair to float on the surface, fanning out and engulfing the photo, in a squid like fashion.

Driving By

In this self portrait I focused and set the shutter speed and aperture for the camera and then had my mom take the picture. Unfortunately, my face it a bit hard to make out in the car because of the tree's reflection that appears in the windows. The day I took this picture was a raining one, and I like how if you look closely in the background you can see that water, as it almost appears wave like.
