I've learned a lot of about photography and myself in this class, and am kind of sad that this class is almost over. A part of me wishes I had taken digital photography classes sooner and had choose to have my concentration be photography rather than painting. While I still love painting, I think I've really found myself in photography. Each project is interesting, challenging, fun and thrilling. I have yet to find myself bored in any of the stages it takes to create a good photograph.
For the last project, we were directed to use text in the image. I decided to do a series regarding people in my life, including myself, and how our favorite books have influenced our voices. For me, it was easy to pick a favorite book cause it's been the same since high school: Catcher in the Rye. The particular quote that I felt to define me was "Certain things should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone." I also decided to throw in some hints about where the qyote is from. For instance, in this picture in the background to the right is the book which is found on a cover of Catcher in the Rye.
The second in the series is my friend, Michael. He choose a quote from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. I'm still tweeking the colors in his, so this is just a in process photo. A clue to his book can be found in the bottom left corner, which is a sketch that is found in the actual book.
