The End of all things....

I started experiencing photography when i was in 7th-8th grade and my friends had D-SLR's. Then when coming to High school i saw the photography program and i was excited but i couldn't take it because i was a freshmen. ;( So i had to wait to take it, then finally sophomore year came and i took photography I and had a great time, it was 8th period and i had my best friend in the class with me. I worked a lot with film, and i guess that's why i like Black and White photos so much. That year came to an end and then i began my photo II journey. Photo II was a great time, with the trio Veal the Deal, Phil Scubbs and yours truly. I was happy that Photo II gives you so much freedom with your work, and my personal goal for that class was to get alot of my work in the art show which worked out! I know i said trio, but there was more of a Dynamic Duo Me and Phil....because the red haired one wasn't in school all the time, he was either puking his brains out, at shoprite, sleeping in the baseball locker room during 4th and 5th period. Overall i was happy with my work, but everything has a bad side, especially when i hit a creative block because of a certain osulem, who destroyed me. My DSLR and I destroyed my creative block and came out with pictures i liked. One story i recall is me and Phil getting destroyed in the Darkroom, and the eye washer.... We had amazing times in Photo II, i would look forward to the 45 minutes of the day that i could work on photo's....Although me and Phil's daily ritual is to go on Yahoo and look at the news, or look at song lyrics by my boy Drake. Another downside was the fact that every time i signed onto yahoo, veal would come and use my computer, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD HIS OWN! This upset me immensely. I also loved hot chocolate during this period preparing me for my trials and tribulations was the infamous Obetah. Overall i loved Photo II it was an amazing time i will never forget, hopefully there will be Photo III next year where i can continue destroying the photography world. All in all Salutations to all you can call me Cudi.<3333

Documentary

The truth from documentary photos is true. They are accounts of the reality of the subject and show the true colors.

Monochromatic

The new project should be fun since i love shooting in B&W. So i'll see what i take over this weekend and hope for the best.

Manipulation

I think what the photographer did was fine. This day in age photo manipulation is just another tool that every photographer can use. But there has to be a fine line to where you can use it. I would only use that to tweak pictures or remove certain things that disrupt the picture. The photographer photo's should be used in the Newspaper and should be qualified to do so.

Inspiration

Keith Haring and his art that is very colorful and fun. Burk Uzzle -http://www.burkuzzle.com , and his woodstock pictures are inspiring because I like the late 60's and early 70's hippies. Banksy the graffiti artist and his modern day graffiti is inspiring and fun the look at. I need more time to explore other artists, but for now this is it.

Cuts

With budget cuts in our schools system Art may disappear. But not from a world wide view. There will still be art school other options for art. If your school cuts art than you may have to go to schools or programs on the side of your school life. Like clubs and other gatherings. All in all art isn't going to be cut from the world just from some unfortunate schools.
