Hockney

This image was made by taking a ton of pictures of the same place from the same place and then putting them together. You'll notice that the biker with the yellow shirt is in their multiple times. (you may have to click on the picture to get a bigger image)
This picture plays off the same idea as the Hockney type image except that each picture used is see through to the picture below it. The background stays the same and becomes distinguishable, but the biker is in each picture and looks ghost like because the individual photos are semi-transparent.

Scanogram


These are from a scanogram assignment. We were to 1-scan items into the computer and then use them to create a picture 2- do a straight scan and that is the picture.This picture was made using 6 different photos. 5 were scanned in from a magazine and 1 was a photo that wasn't scanned. They were then put together to practice using tools in photoshop
This photo and the one below were made using a scanner. To make the photo above I left the scanner lid open. For the photo below I closed the lid to the scanner. It's amazing how that changes the look and feel of the picture.

Texture Assignment

Just finished up an assignment dealing with texture in my Intro to Studio Lighting class this week. I grabbed a potted plant that the Elders Quorum gave to Kate for Mother's day and some potting soil for my shots. A fellow class mate had brought some wood for his shots and I asked if I could use it for mine. He said yes and the shots turned out better than I thought they would.


This photo and the one below are dealing with our artistic interpretation of shadow. So which should I turn in the one above with a soft shadow or the one below with a very sharp hard shadow.
There is a scripture in the Doctrine and Covenants section 130 verses 18 -19 that reads: "18-Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. 19-And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come." That is the reason I am living in England and attending the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham. I am working on a MFA in Photography in order to further my secular intelligence. Additionally I am learning more than I ever thought I would about having faith in God and where he leads us in life. I graduated from Brigham Young University Idaho with a degree in Recreation Management and a minor in Photography. If I am not photographing, then you can find me running, mountain biking, or spending time with my family.
