TEST

It was very hard for me to choose what photos I would choose for this blog so i may have cheated and snuck in one extra photo. There where a few themes through out my 200 photo journey. The photos I took with Jamie (black hair) and Stephanie (blond) represent curiosity. The others represented the beauty in the small things in life. I have dabbled with photography, but never with such a refined and expensive camera, and I have a few close friends who share the same past time. I never really new how much work was actually put into making the best shot you possibly can. I have always been one to play with lighting, and texture. I also enjoy going out of my way to take the best possible shot or creative shot for that matter whether I lay on the ground, stand in the street, or balance on a chair. I hope you enjoy my first collection of photography from my Photo Journalism class found on http://joemdkarda.shutterfly.com.

Deceiving Beauty
These fish oil caplets are very pretty but just don't stick your nose anywhere close to them.




Late Night Chill
This is what my refrigerator consists of. When I have parties all of my friends know that they won't find anything worth looking for in there.


A Contrasting Clutch
Even though it may not appear to be so, when I took this photo it was freezing outside. I changed the contrast settings on my editor so that the brick would appear to be hot still leaving the drain pipe freezing.








Still Awake
When I took this photo it was only around six at night. After looking at it after a while it reminded me of those late winter nights when I would still be awake tip toeing around the house to eat some cookies and play with the dog. I told Stephenie to look at the camera with a bit of curiosity and mischievousness, she pulled it off very well.
Wanting To Caught
I really love my sheer purple curtain that hangs in my apartment. I wanted to somehow incorporate it into my photos and at the time Stephanie and I where having a smoke. I took hers away and told her to hide half of her face with it and then I figured letting her have her cigarette back would add some character to the photo. She likes to pose allot, which I find unnatural so I made her laugh and took the shot.

My Space
My friend Jamie and I where walking around Loveland Hall when we spotted some large class display cases. I immediately said "get in there" and she followed my cue. Being that she takes photos as a hobby she understood what I was going for. I told her to put her hands against the glass so it would be apparent that it was there and this is the result.
