Week Fourteen - It has a purpose

I got so excited when I read the assignment! The picture I am posting isn't impressive when you see it and don't know the story. So check it out:

This picture was taken with my cell phone, from the passenger seat of a car going about 60MPH. I couldn't believe that it captured the road signs!!

Week Thirteen - Vanity...?

My biggest problem with taking portraits this week would have to be finding a subject! It's not that I don't see people, it's that nobody has the time to set up a good, personal shot, let alone sit around while I take multiple pictures. I ended up being my own subject, which of course presented its own problems. I set my timer for two seconds and placed the camera on a speaker. I feel like the pose/connection gives of a little bit of a complex vibe. It shows that I am curious, to myself at times, unsure... What it doesn't portray is that I am all about having fun! But I think everybody has different sides to them, and this is just one of mine. The setting of the picture encompasses my lifestyle now. A bit messy, living in a tight space (I cropped it so I take up more of the frame)... it is black and white because I don't like living in this room very much, so I don't let it take over my life.




Also, I had red-eyes in this photo... voila! I think I did a pretty good job covering them up :)

Week Ten - read THIS

Here are my text photos. The first is simple, text on top of a picture. The second is text at a slight angle, with an opacity of about 40.

Week Ten - Hide my flaws

It was tough finding a picture to work with for this assignment. I have plenty of pictures with flaws, but most of them were either to big to fix or too small to notice. I settled on this one. There was a hand on the left most part of the railing that I removed. This assignment was the hardest for me, because PSP7 does not have a "patch tool", I researched a bit and it wasn't added until the most recent version. I used a combination of cloning and pushing to get this picture where it is.
