Shaphan


I wanted to photograph my nephew Shaphan because he is obviously cute and no one in my family would let me photograph them. We went to the pumpkin patch and he was super excited! I took these around halloween. He loves getting his picture taken!









Self Portrait


This photo was taken in my bathroom. I got up at to go tot the bath room at night and discovered there was a neat shadow on the wall and I thought it would make a good pic. This describes me because sometimes all I want to do is be a shadow that no one can touch

Web assignment #5

Beauty in photography is when you see something that makes you take a second look. Its when you see something that no one else sees and you capture the beauty of it and make it something else. Characteristics of beauty in photography are: inspiring, mysterious, something hidden inside a picture that makes the person looking get a surprise. Something ugly can be considered beautiful if it is set up in the right way. for example you can take detailed picture of spiders and they turn out looking cool but I think they are ugly!
