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.

So..

I'm excited spring is here, even if winter is the best time of the year. Spring feels like a time of inspiration for me, the earth and everything seems to really come to life. I hope to get some really great photographs during this warmer weather. Another main thing about spring is crusin' in the warm weather with the windows down and music up. I just feel somewhat inspired by spring, and people ;).

Tired

Tired of the flood and cleaning the basement. Hopefully the rain doesn't create another one.

YM

Love this photo. It looks as if it were part of a movie poster for Friday The 13th.

On tv, of course i am the man.

Art is so expensive because of the time and thought that goes into it. Also art collection was for upper class rich people and collectors for decorations. I honestly think art shouldn't be to expensive, because you can't put a price on something so priceless.

Higher Arts

Photo is seen as a lower art, because it does not take much talent to point a camera. This entire statement is wrong. Photo is of course a talented art, it takes planning to take a shot. Also knowing the technique to take photos and your ideas influence the art. Photo should be regarded as a great art.

Historic Event

If i were to photograph one event it would have to be WWII. I'd pick WWII because it is really interesting and it would have been cool to see the a-bomb's mushroom cloud. Also i am into war tatics and fights, so it would have been cool to take pictures of the run down cities after bombings and conflicts.

Hockey Mask Part 2

I did a hockey mask idea, with a person in four different settings, I like it.

Idea

Hockey mask

Artist Meaning

An artists meaning is what the artistest intent was in the begining. A viewer sees whatever he or she imagings. When an artist publishes an image though, the artist wants the viewer to see it as they see it.

Plannnnnnned Shoot

For my planned shoot i would like to use my car in it. At night with headlights and a friend who could model various of motions in front of them. Also i would like to try and shoot pond hockey one day if i can make it to a game. Usually on the weekends we play pond hockey in cedar grove and shooting that would be fun. The only thing i don't like about planned shooting is i change my mind alot. I come up with ideas at the wierdest times of day. So for now this is what i hope to be doing.

What would i pick?

If i would have to shoot only one thing for photography ever i would pick people. People are always interesting and always changing so topics would be endless. A secondary choice would be nature because the same applies to nature. Nature changes and is interesting. Thats what i would shoot for the rest of my life.

Overdue

Was sick almost all weekend with a sinus headache thing. Feeling a little bit back to normal. Still just tired and feeling drained.

Euwh

Never really looked at this picture until yesterday and really liked it. I like that no one is in this shot and that It has store fronts. Overall i really enjoy this picture.
