Five Photos to Describe Me

My five Favorite photos that best describe what I like

The Forest Grove Theater

The reason I like the Forest Grove theater the most is because it is the only theater close enough to Pacific University without having to drive. I also like the fact of the old look to it and how it only has one screen. I go there wheneer I can.

The Mushroom Tree

It doesn't look as cool as when it is covered with leaves but I still think it is my favorite tree on campus. I have never seen this tree in Southern California so I think it's cool.

Chelsea and Myself

This is my girlfriend and I up in the snow. I love this picture because I am in the snow and it is with my girlfriend.

Pizza Schmizza

I love pizza. not much more to say. The company itself is so different and creative. They add so much color and designs on not only there sign but on the inside as well.

Historic House

This is just one of the historic houses in Forest Grove. The construction of these house are amazing. I love this style of housing and if I could I would choose to live in a house like this one. It offers so much to a street and the town itself with its look and history.

Photoshoped pictures

I took my original picture and fixed it using the curve graph in photoshop.

I fixed this one in photshop by using the histogram.

Screen Shot Bridge

In this shot I have gone through pictures that I have taken and chosen the ones I like. I have also rated them by how much I like and am willing to use them. I created a work space for all of them to go in and a metadata template.

Photography to Me

      

     To many people taking a picture can mean a whole lot of different things. It depends on your view, it depends on your purpose, it depends on what your looking for, and it depends on your angle. I'm going to be honest and say I do not shoot a lot of photos. I never think to have my camera with me. I do miss out on a lot of good photo opportunities so I'm going to try and carry my camera with me more. Anyways to me I don't always look for the great angle and Photoshop my pictures to make them look better, I don't always have to have that perfect artist shot that people always awww about. That's my mother's job. I like pictures that are real, no touch ups. It can be of anything that has meaning to me. If I were to look at my photos more carefully I would want the lighting just right for whatever moment I was trying to capture. I like to look for bright colors, faded color, and contrasting colors. To me something antique looking always catches my eye more than something modern. I like the classic look. I am still developing my sense for what I like and appreciate. So what I might think is a great picture others might not appreciate it the same.
