This week we did light room. In this picture the lighting is one of the main things drawing attention to it. The positions of the shadows and exposure make it very interesting. Of course the angle draws your attention, it's just an average brick wall with a twist you could say. This picture was actually an accident so it's cool to see how mistakes can turn into a wonderful creation that really grabs your attention.

This week we had the challenge to make a self portrait. As you can tell no part of my body is present but what I chose to represent me is my own glasses, and drawing. My glasses are a big part of life for me seeing since I have to wear them all day every day from when my head lifts to the pillow to falls to it. So, that is why in this picture I chose to interpret my glasses for my self portrait. I chose this drawing of my own because well glasses are made to help you focus your eyes so I thought there was some irony there, also it's just one of my early drawings so it's nice to see that I've evolved into a more advanced writer.
This week we had to take good bad photos. I didn't really know what to do with it because well how do you take a good bad photo. I was messing around with the lighting of a pillar and came out with this. A good bad photo is a photo with no good qualities that a photo should have but is still catches your eye. This, I thought, was a good photo because there's nothing really going on but the lighting at the two different angles make it interesting.
Jerry Uelsmann is quite the inspiring man because in general he is just astounding with his work. He takes photos from all different kinds of places and stitches them together to make a "separate reality." I like his work because he tries to see regular objects as keys to the next dimension trying to give himself and others a view that is typically hidden underneath the 21st century image that is burned in our brains. We perceive objects as so regular these days because we see and use common human utilities every day, Jerry tries to combine those everyday things into something that will stretch your mind a little bit more wanting you to think of what doorways we have out of this boring reality. I'd like to challenge myself this year to do things such as he does by putting parts of different photos together and trying to see them as a whole.
