yesterday i was finalizing my concentration and i have to take one out! :( i think i am decided that i will take out this one. 

i already have two for "happiness" and i think we decided that we liked the one of my brother's face laughing better than this one. also, it doesn't really look like she is being freed because of the big railing in front of her. 

here is mr z's face. i snapped it at little talbot island and it actually turned out pretty well. i like the colors in it. it didn't even need any editing. normally i'm a crop-maniac.

i took this at my brother's baseball game a while ago. i like it because it is in film and i like the aesthetic it gives the photo. it's hard to think but it was sooo cold at this game not long ago.

today we went to little talbot island! it was a BEAUTIFUL day and i took a lot of pictures of animals and the landscape. i liked this one in particular because i actually got close enough to this bird to take it and most of it is in the frame. i also really like it because although the actual bird isn't at an angle where you can see it's body, the shadow is almost a perfect silhouette of what the bird looks like. i like how clean and crisp the shadow is on the sand.

i took this picture on my cruise. actually we were waiting in line in one of the stateroom floors just to get off the ship to go home. i pulled out my camera and just started shooting. i really like the lighting that this one overhead light makes. i like the silhouette of my mom's face and the glowing sign on the right in the background. i think it turned out very technically sound for just being in a cruise ship lobby.

this week i have been developing film and i hope that i have some good shots from those. i shot my dad for the "anger" picture that i needed and i hope its something that works for my project!

but in the meantime, i've still been messing around with some of the other film pictures i took last weekend. this is one of them. i took several of this same shot and i'm going to edit it to look like everything around her is moving but she stays still in this world of her own. it is supposed to be like depression but i already have enough shots for that so we'll see how it compares to my existing shots.

i took these over the weekend. i was focusing on someone who is feeling disconnected from the world. i dont know it this one does the greatest job portraying this but i like how it's ice cream. who doesn't want to be in this ice cream parlor? yet the subject looks un-engaged
