Do Not Enter

I originally took this picture in color, but I think it looks more interesting in black and white. I regret the angle the picture's at, I think it would look better if I moved a little to the right, so I could frame the "do not enter" sign.

misc

this is a photograph of a leaf. i liked that there was a hole just large enough to see out of. the focus of the leaf looks nice with the blured backgound through the hole.

late post. sun. feb21

these are photogrpahs of parts of the Berlin wall. i really like the mix of colors. they blend very well even though they are all randomly placed.

misc

i like the detail in these branches and the way the light reflects off of the ice.

misc.

It was taken without flash last week.

branches

I took this picture one afternoon, with all natural light. I like how the sky almost fades from blue to white, where the sun is. I also liked the reddish artifact to the left of the picture.

misc.

the sky was very clear one day last week, so it made a good opportunity to take a couple photos i had wanted to capture.

Box

This is the top of a chocolate box I recieved for Valentine's Day. I like how the words are in focus and the flowers aren't really, but also how the angle let's the words flow away. I think that the thing in the back is distracting, and that I should have cropped it out, but that cutting off the parts of the box except that piece was okay.

Winter Beach

Taken in natural light over vacation in Newport. I liked its variation in mid, for and background.

Color-->b&w

I chose these pictures to convert to black and white because they both had a lot of different colors in them, so they are able to show what colors look the similar shade in black and white.

color/b+w

i think this photograph looks much better in color because the color is really the main focus of the photo. it looses alot of depth when it is in black and white because the colors are moslty oranges and reds, so when in black and white they look very similar.
I think the black and white makes the picture lose most of its appeal--the colors look like similar shades of gray.

Black and White vs. Color

These pictures were taken on my hearth. I found a cool old radio and some headphones laying around my house. (in two different places) and i set them up on a background that looked more natural that wouldn't have many distracting things in the background. I changed it to black and white and i think both pictures came out the way i wanted them to.

B&W

I put my headphones on the sofa and took this picture with no flash.

B&W vs Color Nerd Box

color nerd box into black and white. I like how the color one shows everything, but in the black in white you can see the flow of the words better. You lose pretty much all differences in color in the black in white except some darker greys. I think the words stand out better in the color, and blend in in the black in white.

B&W vs Color

I took this picture in the mid afternoon with natural light. I like the way the silver braclet looks in the black and white picture.

B&W Flowers

i took this picture at around 3 oclock when the sun was coming in through the window in my kitchen.. i like all the colors in the flowers but i also like all the detail that is within them.

Black and White World

I liked this photo because of all the color and things going on, but now that I see it in black and white, I like the composition and I notice the lighting from the upper right hand corner a lot more.

Moonset B&W

I posted this picture earlier; I decided to invert it to black and white because the black and white makes the picture look antique. I also like how it makes the details and lines of the buildings stand out more.

misc.

the first photo is a diptych of julie blowing flower petals out of her hands. i made these two photos into a diptych because i wanted to show movement. the second photo is of a light on a ceiling in my house which i purposly shot to be out of focus. the third photo is of a street lamp. i photographed it when it was very dark outside to get the effect of the light blending into the background so the viewer wouldnt know exactly what theyre looking at. the last photo is a macro photograph of a lamp shade.

misc

I put them on my bag because my bag is black, which helps standing out the colors of those flowers.
