Photo Will Forever Be In My Heart

This was my final print in Photo 1. I choose my favorite picture out of all of the ones I have taken thus far this semester and printed in on 8x10 photo paper. I am so pleased with how it turned out. I love that you can see the speckles on my dad's headstone. This picture was taken at the beginning of the school year on our first roll of film. My favorite part of the photo is the left upper corner, as the flowers lay so delicately and peacefully on the headstone. The flowers, even in black and white, look tropical; the love for Hawaii and the tropics was something that my dad and I shared.

Multiple Exposure at the Pool

This is my least favorite of the pictures I printed on the multiple exposure roll of film. I took my camera to the pool and put  the barbells that are used in water aerobics on the pool deck. Unfortunately, that is the only image you can make out in the photo. The background image is hard to make out, I can't even say what it is, it looks to be me, but I honestly can't tell. I think the picture with the barbells would be an excellent one just by itself, for the pool and water line in the background are perfect in their simplicity.

Multiple Exposure Mom

Just out of luck two pictures of my mom ended up overlying each other. This is the best picture I took of my mom all semester. I find it almost an optical illusion, as your eye does not know which picture to look at first. I think this captures my mom at her best. She always wraps up at night and she is working away at one of her many projects. In the other picture she is acting like her normal goofy self, trying to be serious, which she is not very often. This would have to be one of my favorite picture I've ever taken of her.

I Whip My Hair

This is my all time favorite blur photo. It took a couple of attempts to get the photo right, both capturing wise and printing wise, but I'm glad I stuck with it because it turned out so well. My favorite part is the strands of hair that are left falling over my head, the way they suspend in the air is striking.

Me in a Cheerios Box

This is another one of my favorite multiple exposure photos. While I was spelling out my name in Cheerios for another picture my dog, Sumi, would not stop coming over and trying to eat them. So finally I let her sniff the box and then she became uninterested, of course. I love the disinterested look plastered on her face because only seconds ago you would have thought the Cheerios were gold the way she looked at them. I also love the creepy way the image of me drinking out of a Snoopy cup overlays the Cheerios box and is so close to Sumi's face. It gives the picture an eerie feel.

Blur Contact Sheet

Here is the awaited blur project contact sheet. I am fairly pleased with how well the images turned out.

Cheerios

I didn't keep track of which photos went on top of each other during the multiple exposure project but I enjoyed to surprise at the end. This one turned out with my name spelled out in Cheerios and a floral arrangement in the background. I like that you can make out each image together and separately.

Splish Splash

This is one of my favorite blur pictures. Instead of doing the facet with running water I threw a bucket of water, visible in the corner of the pic, into my family's fountain. My mom did an excellent job of taking the photo at the correct moment because it turned out perfect. I love that the water it still falling and you can see the peaks and falls clearly.

Go Pack Go!

Running out of ideas to blur, I grabbed my Green Bay Packer team flag and waved it to have a still face in the background while also producing the blurred foreground of a flag. I like that you can still make out the details of the flag.

Spinning Along

For the blur project I had my mom take a most of the picture of me doing something to create a blurred image. In this photo I hopped on a stationary bike and pedaled to produce the shaky image of my calf.
