Jello Portrait


I was amazed when I saw the picture of the portrait Andrew Salamone made of Bill cosby out of cups of jello. The jello form looks exactly like the original picture. There are 725 cups of jello that make up Bill Cosby's face. I can't even imagine how much time and planning went into this piece only for it to be taken apart and eaten in a few hours.

Smoke Art




I was researching different forms of art and I came upon smoke art. I became interested in it, because it's something we see often. I never stopped to look at the designs smoke can make or considered it art. From the pictures I have seen from my research I now see the art in smoke.

Samples of my photography



I mostly take pictures of people. I started photography my Freshman year of high school and my interest in it has continued to grow. I love taking close up pictures, because there is a connection that is lost when you take a picture of something from a distance.

Random

Excited for Sunday I have a photography job for an event at St. Joseph hospital.

Anne Geddes






Anne Geddes photography is easy to identify but very creative and unique. She had started a whole new genre of photography that is often imitated but never quite duplicated. The Australian born photographer is a world wide sensation. Anne Geddes: simple, innovative, and creative.

Saratoga Springs, by Walker Evans




I love this picture by Walker Evans. The composition of the photograph is well laid out. The cars on both sides of the street balance the composition. I also love how the water on the pavement makes you feel like you are there experiencing a cold rainy day. Harmony is created by the repetition of the cars that all look alike and the trees. Movement is also captured in this picture, by the way the cars carry your focus from the foreground to the background. This photograph is simply stunning.

Thought #1

I noticed appreciate and like black and white photography more than color. I feel like black and white photos have a a stronger meaning and intensity to the picture that can't be shown as well in color. Anyone agree?
