Halloween.

Once there was a teenage boy,
Whose self he sought out to destroy.
By day he is normal
By night he is not
As soon as sun leaves the sky,
He’s distraught.

His mission when the sun goes down is always the quite the same
Destruction of his very self is always tonight’s game

As stars retire, one by one
And up comes mornings shining sun
His hatred of own being dies,
Again, he’s like most other guys

Inflicting pain on his own self he what he’s set to do
Death by spider web or bite it often might be through

I have pictures of his nightly acts as proof of his addiction
One day they’ll be compulsory to disproving false conviction.
There has yet to be one though, as he has not succeeded
My pictures, as of currently, remain to be unneeded.

So still nobody one knows his tale
His secret, safe with me
The night though on which he succeeds
My pictures, I’ll set free.

Rule Of Thirds












The idea for our rule of thirds shoot was to devide our photos into thirds, and only fill only one of the thirds with the subject of the picture. In doing this, our goal was to create a balance between the subject, and the 2/3s left of the frame. Another trick that we used to achieve this balance was staying away from taking "say cheese" photos, with the subject in the middle of the picture. This for one, is a boring shot, but also makes our desired balance impossible to achieve. The rule applies to objects and people the same, and makes shots interesting because it forces us to think about were the subject of our picture is placed in our frame. Doing that as well as trying to take pictures of interesting things together was difficult, but the end products are nice. Taking pictures by the rule of thirds was an interesting new way to look at shooting photos.

Walk.







Walking around the nehiborhood, our goal was to take pictures of things that created repetitive shapes. It was cool to be taking pictures of things, instead of people. They are different in that things are sometimes completely changed when the picture is taken from a different perspective. Where that is true for people too, the message of a photo of an object seemed more often completely dependent on the angle in which you took it.


Library











Taking photos in our library was fun because we got to work with props more than our other shoots. Using books and flowers to enhance our photos was something that we didn't get to do in any of our other shoots. It was not as difficult because the props distract from the person. The most challenging part was balancing the distractions of the props and the packgrounds, and still making the person in the photo interesting.
