#1 - "Silly faces are the only faces I own. I don't take myself too seriously." I have trouble trying to make "pretty" faces in photos. I think it is this mentality that if I am making a weird face, perfection will be totally disregarded and it will be valued for being what it is. Whenever I look at photos that are (seemingly) spotless, I am always drawn to point out the mistakes or insignificant details before valuing it as a great photo. But that's just me...plus, no one can steal my faces; they are mine and only mine. I don't mind being ridiculous.
#2 - "Life without nature is no life at all. It never ceases to amaze me." This photo was actually taken when I travelled to Europe one summer for two months with my whole family. Specifically, this photo is of a tree in Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born. The way it winds and travels is brilliant. Plus its bark was so interesting and unique, almost like a Group-of-Seven-tree. Amazing.
#3 - "My family keeps me happy and just the right amount of insane." My family...they are simply the best. From top left (going clockwise): Mom, Meghan, Catherine, Stephen, Daniel, Erika, and Dad. We are such a tight-knit clan; we still have occasional family game nights (even though S, C and me are all at university). I love them to death, they ARE the most important things in my life, even though they are only pictured as quirky little sketches. About insanity...we are definitely a family of eccentrics, only in the best of ways.
#4 - "Watercolours changed my life. For the better." I would not be the same person without art and my set of watercolours. This was one of the first paintings I did when my mom gave me a small set. Still one of my favourite paintings.
I created this on Adobe Photoshop CS3, because I am a education student I got it at half-price at PC Place. Sweet! I was so happy that I recently bought a book, Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers, so, hopefully I will keep learning more about this amazing program.
Great work on your tech task! I totally can relate to making funny faces in every picture, as soon as I see a camera my face contorts into some strange face. Also thanks for the tip about PC Place I had no idea they did that.
ReplyDeleteI love the sketches of your family! So cute. Very creative.

I like how you went into depth for each photo and what it represented.
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess I also do the same thing, with my face. Whenever a friend or my dad try to take a photo of me, I make some ridiculously awkward look/pose. I really can`t explain why.
