Makin' Music

One of our assignments was given to us by Mark Wagoner and we had to illustrate an event or something that changed our life. Something that has really influenced and changed me was when I started playing guitar and writing lyrics. It changed my perspective on life and I truly felt I could express myself through my music. So I created this stop-motion video illustrating it. Enjoy! :)

A Day in the Town

How to Take Care of Your Teeth

For one of our classes, we had to get in a group and do a how to project and our group decided to how to take care of your teeth. These are the images we presented.

UNC Game

I posted a panoramic of the UNC game and now I want to share a few more pictures of the game with you.

Panoramic

For our digital imaging class, we had a panoramic project and it just so happened that I was going to a UNC football game so I thought that'd be a perfect opportunity to shoot my panoramic. It looks a little small here on my blog, but if you click on this picture, it will appear bigger.

ABC, Easy as 123

For one of our assignments, we had to go downtown Greensboro and find the whole alphabet in nature. I really enjoyed this project because it opened my eyes to notice how letters can be found in almost anything. I cut out the letters out of each of the photos and put them all together on a blue background.

Computer Lifestyle

For this project, we had to capture a computer lifestyle shoot with interaction between people and the computer or any source of technology. I wanted to use the ipad to show a different side of computers and technology that is evolving.

Knockin' on a Door

I saw this door on S Elm Street in Downtown Greensboro. I fell in love with it because of its old rustic look. I also loved the different textures around the door and the reflections in the window. It's really amazing what can you find just in your own hometown.

Self Promo #1

For our photography class, we have to create 6 self promos that promote ourselves and our style of photography. This image is the first one and it is a lipstick ad.
