You might want to prepare yourself...
to be super un-impressed!
Ha!
I thought I would share a bit of what I've gotten to do in my photography class.
These are my photograms...
I got a little excited and did 3!
Mr. Williams had us bring objects from home for these :) Can you tell what I brought?
let me help you out here!
a key. super cheap forever 21 necklace. 70's looking glass I found at Goodwill a while ago. scraps of fabric. Pretty little fabric sack I pack earring and bobby-pins in when I go on vacation so they don't scatter in my make-up bag. and marbles. some of which are in a plastic sandwich baggie. Yes katie, YOUR marbles... good for more than just the 'great jar of bravery' I borrowed them for :)
I had so much fun that day!
Mr.Williams gave us an assignment. I took one look and was like. pshhhah. This will be so cinchy. NOT! Haha!
I struggled with it like crazy. He gave us 12 words. We were to capture each idea on a 24 exposure roll of film. Thats 2 tries for each word. BTW... he added that they weren't necessarily literal subjects.
There were words such as 'a tree' 'a house' which seem easy at first glance but in reality were hard because um... well I don't like to be generic. (I have been known to over think things from time to time) and then there was 'light itself' which I wondered how that would look black and white...
and 'irony'... no thank you. I'd rather not.
We don't even speak that word in my house anymore!!!
needless to say my irony photo is not literal irony!
Did I tell you we went to Sedona and Jerome for labor day? I thought it would be perfect. I could get my homework done and relax all at once.
again... HA!
I should've known. Well anyway, just so you know...
my photos are fabulously generic :)
But the great part is that in school today we got to develop the film!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just happy to see something on there! Seriously, you never can tell with film. Well I can't anyway.
I tried to scan the negatives (because I am antsy, and I wanted to see what they look like if I inverted them in photoshop)
Yep. My scanner doesn't do transparencies.
I suppose I will just have to wait for Monday to see what I got.
You know what?! I am so happy right now. Like floating on air happy.
ahhhhhhhhhh! Time to go mop the floor and bring myself down to earth just a bit. Earth... yet another one of my words.
nighy night!
