Walk of Nature

I think nature provides the most beautiful pictures and here are some I took the other day near my house that I want to share with you.

Self Promo #5

For this self promo, I went to a car show and my favorite car there was a Dodge Polara so I took various close-up pictures of it and made a layout.

Another Pano

Here is another panorama I shot in down town greensboro. I have really enjoyed taking panoramas and will post some more soon! :)

Self Promo #4

Since I play guitar, I really wanted to do a guitar shoot for my self-promo. I decided to shoot it outside to make the atmosphere of the guitar feel more relaxed and real.

"Do the Dew"

This is from last semester. We had to do a can soda assignment and I chose mountain dew!

Self Promo #3

This self promo is a sunglasses ad. Whatya think??

To the Fair We Go!

Every year since I was born, it's a tradition in our family to go to the Dixie Classic Fair in Winston Salem, NC. It is something I truly look forward to every year. Two of my favorite rides at the fair are the ferris wheel and the carousel swings.




I also made a stop-motion video giving a little tour of the fair.

Montage

For my digital imaging class, we had to draw five random words from a hat and make a composite image with those words. We had a theme, person, and three objects. My words were ethereal, walking stereotype, hairdo, suitcase, and door. This image is made from five different images that I shot, combined into one using photoshop. Tell me what you think!

Self Promo #2

For my second self promo, I wanted to do an inspirational reading library poster that encourages reading to others and how it can really help you think.

Eggs

For an assignment we had to show a dozen eggs in a creative way and you had to be able to see all 12 eggs in the picture. This is what I came up with.

LG Chocolate 3 Phone

Everyone in our class had to shoot an ad using our cell phones. Since my phone is the LG Chocolate 3, I thought it would be cool to incorporate actual chocolate in the photo to sell it in a more "tasteful" way.
