Photo Mosaic

Today we used about one hundred or so photos to make a photo mosaic on the website www.printmosaic.com. It is super easy and fun!! I used a picture of Chandler and I at Frontier Ranch this summer as the main photo.

Start Snapping

This photo utilizes the techniques of bird's eye view and rule of thirds. It is one of my favorites because I caught Molly in the moment doing her cute closed mouth smile.

In this photo, Molly is being framed by the trees, and it uses rule of thirds, making the photo more interesting. The trees also represent repition. I like this picture because it shows so many techniques in one photo.

Lindsey is throwing up the "peace sign," in this photo filling the frame. I like this photo because it shows the tone of the photo in that Lindsey is not even looking at the camera, she didnt know i would still take the picture if she stuck her hand out in front.

All About Me

This is a collage of about 12 things, people, and places that describe me and are important in my life. I spend most of my time either at home or at Memorial High School with my friends and family. I fill all my spare time listening to music, especially country. I have two King Charles spaniels named Bradley and Baxter. I am a member of St. Luke's United Methodist Church; God plays the most important role in my life. The Mexican food is my all time favorite meal, if I had to eat one ting the rest of my life it would be what is on that plate. My favorite desert is fro-yo from Pink Berry. Every summer since I was eight years old I have gone to Camp Longhorn for three weeks in June where we sail, soc and blob all day. 

PhotoWalk

On my photo-walk Molly was the subject of all my pictures. In the upper left corner, Molly is framed by the red staircases and the path serves as leading lines.  It is also taken from worms eye view, has symmetry, and specific light on Molly, the subject. Next, the upper right photo, the window divisions are leading lines and the rule of thirds applies because Molly is in the lower-left corner of the photo. The last photo, has repetition of the trees on the right and left so they also frame Molly. The red bench is also very contrasting to all the green nature around it.

Remembering 9.11.2001

I vividly remember being on the playground in kindergarden when the first plane stuck the Twin Towers. My story is of a five year olds point of view and and I didn't understand the magnitude of the tragic terrorist attack on our country. I only remember the secret service landing on the football field and coming in and urgently taking George W. Bush's family from the school. My parents came to pick me up and didn't want me watching the news, but I ended up going to my neighbor's house and seeing very frightening video coverage there. The picture of this man falling to his death reminds me of the other scaring things I saw that day. Although very disturbing, I am intrigued by this photo because of the affect it has on me and I'm sure the rest of it's viewers. I am overwhelmed with sorrow and shock when I see it. I think its important to document history as it occurs, however, that does not mean it should all be published. I think there is a fine line, when you take away someone's humanity through a picture it should no longer, be seen by the public eye. Also, I think it is very important to have these pictures to help people remember the attack on our nation. It is very important we acknowledge the anniversary every year in the sense of one or two articles but not the only thing seen on television and in the papers.
