2/2 through 2/8

Monday Feb 2: Living Room

I spent most of the past week ripping cds so that I could burn cds for my mom's jukebox. I waited for the cd to pop out of my computer so that I could add more depth to this otherwise flat image. It is very difficult to color balance because there is like 6 different light temps coming into the pic. I also wish that the hot spot wasn't in the right corner of the pic, but that light needed to be on.


Tuesday Feb 3: Living Room

I just thought it was funny that when I set my glasses and stuff down on my computer that it looked like me. That is all.

Wednesday Feb 4: Grandma and Grandpa Morrison's

My gma is finally home from the hospital! This was just a quick grab shot of her sitting on her bed stirring her coffee. I like the somber mood. It was an interesting situation because I didn't want to keep taking pictures of someone just home from the hospital, just so i could have a nice picture for my blog.


Thursday Feb. 5: Teen Center

Joe was challenging everyone to a chicken wing eating contest, and he finally lost to Matt, his 3rd contest. This is the shot of Matt taking his last victory bite of chicken! I like the look of defeat on Joe's face while there is a mass quantity of chicken in it. You can also see Matt is smirking while eating his last bite. I also like that the foreground is a warmer color and the background is the compliment of that. Also tonight there was a show by the Julia Marie Band. Check out the extra blog for my shots from that!

Friday Feb. 6: Behind the Edge Teen Center

Today I supervised kids building a fort and having a snowball fight. I thought it was really interesting that you could see their feet peeking out through the exit of the snow fort. It was also amusing that they weren't in snow gear. Overall its just a funny detail shot.

Saturday Feb. 7: the Interwebs

This is photofunia, a silly website that lets you upload your pictures into exist frames. I thought it would be hilarious to see a rural scene spray painted onto a city environment to the point where it looks like a mirror into that rural world. This is a picture I took of an old time baseball game and a photfunia on a graffiti frame.

Sunday Feb. 8: Honeyville Church

Today we made valentines for shut ins and needy people. It was a lot of fun. Here you can see Mrs. Porter stamping a piece of the card that was being assembled. I like that this is the anticipation of the end result, instead of just being a stamp on a paper.

1/26 to 2/1

Monday Jan. 26: Table

This was a delicious breakfast, in fact it looks so good that I want some right now. All I wanted to do was photograph the table from looking down at it. I wish that I had a lens between 24 and 50, that lens would have been better to photograph this with. Here I was at 24 mm, and I don't really like the distortion happening at the edge of the frame too much in this case. I do really like the angle of the fork and how it is on the plate.


Tuesday Jan 27: Living room

Mom is doing her science class budget for next year. I liked her use of the pencil to point to things, as well as her hand gesture on how she held the book.


Wednesday Jan. 28: Kitchen

Really boring out of focus shot of a whisk. However, I was able to white balance for the weird lights in the kitchen, which made me very happy.


Thursday Jan. 29: Computer!

The part of today where I wasn't sick was spent re-editing my awesome photo projects. This is all 3 stages of my project in one shot: editing, final, and final on my web site. I like the lit keyboard and the dramatic-ness of the image. Also I was amused that I could line the 2 versions up so well on my computer.


Friday Jan. 30: Living Room

Me in front of a fireplace. I liked the mood and how well lit my face was.



Saturday Jan. 31: Sandy Creek Gym

Today I went to help mom at her modified bball game. She's the 8th grade basketball coach. The top most shot was nice because of the action and facial expressions. This was a difficult shot to crop.
The image above this one was a nice repetition of body language. I love the facial expression of the girl on the right, probably the best player out there. She really meant business.


Sunday Feb. 1: Honeyville Baptist Church

Just a quick shot of Mr. and Mrs. Nichols singing hymns during church. I liked the closeness of the image.
