Serenity

One of the best photos I’ve ever taken was a few years ago in Washington, D.C. It was a class trip and I was a chaperon. The tour had taken us to a Native American Museum. In front of the museum there was a fountain. The day I took this photo the temperature was over 90 degrees, and all I was thinking at that moment was to jump in that water. But I also thought how beautiful and peaceful it looked. So I took a picture of it so I could always remember that day and the feeling behind it.

Yukio Uzaki

I think Yukio Uzaki by Yousef Karsh is a excellent example on how light can be used to describe a subject. The light on the man to the left show a rim light. The rim light make a halo appear on the subject's jacket. Giving him a kind of heavenly feeling. The young woman behind him is covered in shadows. Her face is not completely covered in shadows, you can still make her out. This concept adds a bit of mystery to her. I think Mr. Karsh techniques are one to pay attention too.

Monkey Bars

I decided to put this picture because a few years ago the City decided to redecorate the park in my neighbor. I had decide to take a picture of the park so I could remember what it once looked liked, before it was changed forever. The park was changed a few months after I took the photo. The entire park was changed but one thing, the monkey bars. For some reason that old monkey bar set is still around. I guess old thing aren’t so bad to keep around after all.
