Dec. 8 to Dec. 14

Monday December 8:
Edge Teen Center

So Jake wanted me to take some photos of him for his surrealism project. This shot was a grab shot during a down time when Jake was getting frustrated that his idea wasn't working too well. Eventually this led to many Rembrandt style lighting photos, as well as an art history lesson. It is lit using one stage light, so it is a harsh light source. I liked the balance of light and dark in this image. Jake is a good model even when he isn't modeling.












Tuesday December 9:
My Living Room
Dad is addicted to playing Mario Kart on my new DS. This is just a shot I wanted to take to show off my new Legend of Zelda themed DS. I like the depth of field, you can still tell Dad is happy playing, and you can tell someone is playing. The strange color is actually from the tv casting blue light on him.













Wednesday December 10:
Mr. Krenrich's Lab area

I was subbing for Mr. Krenrich today, whose main class is Marine Biology. This is one of his student's tanks in the back of the room. It was the most
well lit tank, and the fish were the most interested in watching me take their photos. I chose this one because the photos from the front of the tank have a reflection of me in them. Additionally, I liked the arrangement of the fish inside the tank, and the colors that were in the environment.

















Thursday December 11
The Edge Teen Center

This photo is all about hands and the passion that the hands convey. I'm not that crazy about it.
















Friday December 12:
Cornerstone Assembly of God

Tonight was Sandra's wedding to Rob. Boy was it blizzardy out. No I wasn't the photographer. My intent was to go to it to support a friend, but I did snap a few photos out. This was my favorite, Sandra being walked to the alter by her older and younger brothers. It is still weird to see Sandra in a dress.

















Saturday December 13:
My Basement

My original plan was to go to a show tonight for Aaron's band. However, I ended up feeling sick and decided it was best not to spread my disease around the crowd at the show. So I knew I could rely on my brother to be in the basement playing a video game. I believe he was playing Call of Duty, and just ended up dying (which made for the best photo because the red screen shows up best in a photo!) It was like his only death of the match so I just got lucky. I like how you can see the controller and the tv in the same shot. Additionally my brother's laid back body language is interesting. Coupled with the wide angle lens, the room and my brother look huge.

















Sunday December 14:
Honeyville Baptist Church

This was during the Kid's Christmas service. I thought it was a nice little photo of people singing hymns in the church service. Now that I look at it I should have cropped in the left side. Also the original has an annoying magentay red that is hard to balance. Overall I am pleased with this nice little moment, that also shows setting.
