Repetition Ideas

I like this photo because it is simple. I would like to do something like this and maybe improve it. Maybe even incorporate bunny masks into it? haha.

I really like this photo! It's neat and has to do with repetition as well as reflection! :]

This photo makes me hungry. Haha. Helen and I are making pancakes for friday and I think taking a photo like this would be really fun!

Stripes Ideas

I really like this photo from Colin H. I like the silhouette of him in front of the blinds and I think it would be cool to experiment with that light. I love Colin Hill's photo gallery! :D

This photo by Jenni is a really cool idea. I think the execution could have been better but I really like the idea and creativity put into it. I think I'd like to try contrasting stripes, going in different directions. :]

This photo is Mara B's and I really like the composition. It makes the person think that the person is divided and the striped socks adds more to the picture. I'd like to try something like this. 

Egg Ideas

This photo is by Manfredi Caracausi. I really like this photo because it tells a story. The chick was counting down the days until it's freedom. :D I'd really like to recreate something like this.

I really like this! It's so cute! And I'd really like to make food art with eggs! :]

I love the pattern in the background and the spot of yellow in the middle!

Time Exposures!!!

:D These are my time exposures! 

Fashion/Advertising Ideas

This photo by zemotion is really amazing to me. I love the lighting so much. The background seems to be underexposed and the girl flashed in. I really wish I could learn how to do photos like these and to master lighting!

This picture is by Will Brown. I really like the lighting and the lines in the picture. I've always wanted to take a picture in my fridge and I think it would be a cool advertising photo!

This photo was taken by cfcoughlin. I like the splash in this picture and I hope to recreate it for an advertising picture! :D

All photos were found on deviantart.

Time Exposure Ideas!

I'd really like to get back to my concentration photos. :x I'll try to include some bunnies in my time exposure photos, maybe?

I really like this picture! I've always wanted to do something with the stars.

I really really really like this photo! I have an idea how it's done and I really hope I can re-create it. :D

Architecture!!

Eeeeeexcellent!! :D

Architecture Ideas

I really love graffiti and how cool it can make a building look. I hope to find some graffiti around town or hopefully Fort Worth. :D I wasn't planning on doing architecture for my project, but seeing as how it's  a category in the ATPI competition, I decided to go for it. :]

I really like this picture a lot. I love the angle it's taken at and the contrast of the people on the escalator. I also like the idea of taking a picture of an escalator instead of plain old stairs. 

I really like the lines in this picture and the framing of the bike in the stairwell. I like the worn brick in the       

background as well. I don't know whether I like the recycling bin in the picture though... It does add color and a bit of interest, but it seems messy.

Portraits 2010

New Year, New Photos

This is a photo that basically sums up what I want to do  in this class. I want to do a concentration on rabbit masks for my AP Art portfolio. I'm very excited about this year and I'm ready for ATPI!!! 

I have a clock similar to this and last night I actually thought the clock and rabbit would be a cool idea. It reminded me of Alice In Wonderland and I really love the movie and the creativity of the movie.

I really want to try to work with more film this year and hopefully finally do a red film project, ha! I also love black and white film, and I plan to work with that some this year. :] 

I found this picture on Flickr and it belongs to him. :D

 

This is another photo I think will go with my rabbit mask concentration. :] Today Mr. Dewberry showed me a rabbit mask group on Flickr and I took a look around for inspiration.

This photo is by Sarah Hernandez.

This photo by Mr. Dewberry is basically the source of my inspiration for my concentration. I really love his rabbit mask series and I think they're amazing. I've always liked animal mask photos. :] It gives sort of a creepy feeling, yet it's ironic that a rabbit can be creepy. I really hope my photos turn out half as good! :D

Gallery Night

Hi everybody! :D I'm really excited for the upcoming gallery night and I hope you are too! We will have a silent auction for all of our photographs shown. I personally will have 4 pictures that will be shown and auctioned. :D Please come and support this cause. All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. :]

HI I'M ALEXIS.

I wish i could be like them. When I grow up, I wanna be just like them.

My heart is special just like yours. :D

Slideshow!!!

Hey guys!!! This is a slideshow of my best pictures this past year and a few from last year. :]
If you like what you see come to the Marty Seybold Gallery on April 21st!! I'm not sure what
pictures I'm going to use exactly, but I just thought I'd give you an idea of my style and what I do. :] One picture I have in mind isn't even on the slideshow . :0 ... But that's because I took it over spring break and left it on my computer at home. :x I hope to see you at the gallery! All proceeds go to charity, so come support a good cause. :]

Just Updating

New blog! Yay! :D These are a few pictures I like. :] 

I'm pretty excited for gallery night too. I'm not going to use these pictures in the gallery though... I'm not really sure what I will use. :0 

I'm a Bad Blogger :0

Sorry I haven't been posting regularly as i usually do.  :1  I've been kind of lazy with taking pictures, but I'm here now with my transformation pictures!

These are my beginning photos. :D I bought some goldfish and put them into a vase of fake flowers. :]

This is my finished product. :D Sorry it's so small! I hope you like it! :D

HI :]

Thank you to everyone who visits my photo blog. :] It's always nice to know my work is appreciated. :D So far I have 162 visits. :D I hope everyone keeps coming back to see what else I can offer. I hope to grow as a photographer as the year goes by, and I hope my pictures keep getting better. 

I didn't want to post an entry without a photo, so here's a picture I took in Japan this past summer. It was in Harajuku and I saw a bunch of lolitas, but I think she was the best dressed! Haha. I have a bunch of pictures from Japan, and if you're interested in seeing them then just tell me. :] 

OH! And if there's anything you would like to see on my photo blog please tell me. :D

Finished Digital Photo

Soo, this is my final product for the digital photo project... i don't really like how it turned out. :/ But I guess it looks pretty close to what I imagined. I just wish I knew how to use photoshop like a pro! x] Hopefully the next project will turn out a little better. 

Even though I don't particularly think this photo is all that great, I put a lot of work into it and I hope you at least like the idea. Someday I hope I can convey my thoughts a little better. :D

Teaser #3

Hi everybody. :] This is my last teaser photo to post before the finished product is shown. :D I hope the clock will give you some ideas about what it could be. If you still don't know, come back tomorrow to check out the finished product. ^^

Thanks for following and being patient! I hope I can pull this picture off. :0

Teaser #2

This is my second teaser photo for the digital image project. 8] I'm really looking forward to see how my picture as a whole will look. Can you tell what I'm doing yet? :] 

I think this brick wall looks pretty interesting for something you see everyday. I distorted the wall to where it looks a bit like I took it with a fisheye lens. :D I added a vignette, and I plan to make this much darker when I add my other photos. It might be difficult to actually make what I planned but I really hope I can do this, and I hope it turns out awesome. :]

Digital Photo

Soooooooo this is my teaser for the digitally constructed image. :] Doesn't it look like she's falling? :D I'm pretty excited to do this project because I think I have a really cool idea in mind. Want to see the finished product? Come back Friday February 26th. :] 

I had a lot of fun with this picture. I had to go through some crazy faces and poses to find a good one, but Jascilyn was a great model. :D It was cold and she was barefoot on prickly grass so THANK YOU JASCILYN. x]

Snow

So, the past weekend has been pretty fun. :] My power went out and I went to stay with my dad for the weekend. My 5 year old cousin Allison was visiting with my aunt and uncle, so I got to spend some time with her, and she is absolutely adorable! She drew me some pictures of animals, and tried to teach me how to make a snow angel, haha. On Friday, we woke up a little early to go play in the snow, so I took the opportunity to document it. These pictures aren't really "artsy", but I still like them. :D

This picture was taken on Friday, when the snow was still nice and high. Doesn't my dog look majestic? Haha. It was really hard to get a picture of hers standing still, but I got one when she was distracted. :] I wish I could have done some artistic photos with the snow, but with my power out, and a bunch happening, I couldn't find the time to grab someone and do it.  I missed an opportunity for good pictures, but I'm pretty satisfied with what I got. :]

ATPI

So this weekend I went to ATPI, and I entered the digital editing contest. At first I was freaking out because I kept pressing the sides of the mouse and it would show all the windows and take me out of photoshop. So for an hour I kept doing that and I was about to just yell at the screen, but then everyone would think I was crazy. Eventually, I figured out what I was doing wrong, and I hurried making my image.

 I wasn't as good at photoshop as I thought, so I couldn't do anything very fancy. I put the hammer and chalk outline pictures on top of each other, and tinted them a bit red so they would match a little more. I then blurred the line that separated them, and added a vignette. I then cut out a picture of money and made it larger on my canvas, and multiplied it on top. I really wanted to do a photo word type of thing with the text, but I was running out of time, and I didn't have time to experiment with it. So I typed out a CORNY title and embossed it, and added an outer glow to help it stand out from the picture. Honestly, I didn't think I was going to win anything (especially best of show!), but I was super excited and happy when they called my name. :D

Self Portraits...

So, I think self portraits are my worst subject... I absolutely hate taking them. >< I don't know what it is... maybe I feel embarrassed when I take them, because it just seems weird to me. Maybe it's the fact that I can't completely control what the camera is capturing. I feel more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it! So currently I have no self portrait pictures that I have taken. This weekend I will try to take some to break a little from my shell.


:D

Silhouettes

This photo... I'm not sure what to say about it... We were supposed to do a silhouette picture for our project, and I wanted to do something a little different. I didn't want to do the typical "person against sky" picture, so I tried to be a little different. To be honest, this was the last picture I took and it was last minute. I was visiting my dad one night and he went out to smoke a cigarette so I decided to follow him and maybe produce a good picture. This isn't one of my favorites, but I think it's decent for last minute.
