I knew that I am passionate about dance and would enjoy basing my project on that theme, but I couldn’t decide how to approach conveying the fun of dance. I knew I didn’t want to just produce a series of regular posed dancer portraits, but I wanted the photos to draw a viewer in and feel the movement. After shooting the photos I decided creating a stop animation would be fun. I think the stop animation accomplished my goal of representing movement, so I was pretty happy about that. I do wish that I could have figured out how to make the animation run faster, because as it is on the blog, you can’t understand how it is really meant to look.ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-23753246147338129562008-12-05T12:34:00.000-08:002008-12-05T12:35:06.469-08:00Final Project ResearchDancing: research<br />Digital Photography Final Project<br /><br /><br />When brainstorming ideas for my final project, I though it would be fun to focus on dance as a theme. When scanning through online studios and library books, I noticed that most dance photography is very posed and staged. This was annoying because I wanted to create photographs that depict the true fun, and emotion dance conveys. So when looking through dance photography books in the library, it was hard to find photographs that modeled my artistic goal. But I did find a book called Dancers by Anthony Crickmay, featuring a photo (of dancer Karen Kain) I felt like I could base my pieces on. The photo is of a ballet dancer, doing an arabesque. I like this piece partly because of the difficult pose, but mostly because of the passion yet elegance the dancer conveys. I compare this photo to my final series (flipbook, and animation) for a couple of reasons. One reason is obviously subject matter. But another reason is the pose of the dancer. Although my project depicts the actual movement of the dancer, the final pose is similar (both involving some leg extension). Many of my photos also take a direct approach in capturing the image and are also similar in composition to the photograph of Karen Kain. I am happy though to have broken away from the traditional studio posed dance photographs often produced. My photos accomplish a fun atmosphere and connection to the mood of the dancer that I feel is often lost in dance portraits.ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-23953055974544866332008-12-01T17:43:00.000-08:002008-12-01T17:57:03.796-08:00DancingI decided after shooting my final photos that it would be fun to create an animation, so here it is:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzslueK1wopVq96Qf3nOvkHxnjDx0W38JdStkYjrIHehFb8oAXDRxH8tovGoajYCyH_IrpvN8AEmMht4dCviQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-83541851065739664242008-11-21T10:50:00.002-08:002008-11-21T10:51:27.309-08:00Final Project<div>Emilyann Allen<br />Proposal<br />Final Project Proposal<br /><br />I want to do a project based on theme and subject matter, and depending on the result of the images I may want to create a slide show or possibly a collage. I would like for the subject to be my little cousin that is a dancer. Through the images I capture I want to convey movement, light, and possibly create a whimsical feel. Or potentially an intense emotional feel. I danced growing up, and to me dance was very expressionistic. Dancing is a beautiful way to convey sadness or anger or hope. To dance in itself is such a freedom. It is my goal to create images that ignite passion in even people who have never danced, to truly convey its meaning.<br /> I plan to start creating my vision by first portraying the subject. I want to take different shots of her in different costumes, and possibly even regular warm up clothes that create different moods. I also plan on finding different locations and settings to put her in, like the studio. But I might also have her dancing outside, connecting to nature. Or she could be alone in her house, thinking no one is watching, dancing wildly just for the fun of it. I also plan on manipulating some of the shots in photoshop as necessary to support the mood.<br /> Thankfully, my cousin will probably already mostly have the costumes I will want her to wear. Mostly to accomplish this shoot, I will mostly need gas in the car, to drive to different locations. I somewhat could compare what I in vision to the ballerinas painted by Degas, in the sense that I want realism, more than posed shots. But my goal is also to find a modern representation of dance and feeling.<br /><br /></div>ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-83886615142350250502008-11-21T10:50:00.001-08:002008-11-21T10:50:44.957-08:00Final Project<div><br /></div>ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-19666671572808261592008-11-11T11:20:00.000-08:002008-11-11T11:44:14.753-08:00The Importance of Light<div><br /> </div><div align="center">Assignment 1: Using a light reflector </div><div><br /><br /> </div><div align="center">This part of the assignment was probably the most difficult for me.

The second photo was also taken at slightly different angle and is aslo much brighter...<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267483297580355074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2CDxXgI8eQdpcBucSUwB1GLTH-gfHRx6sdEU1VBsnYZa-l4_4v8hlMYVMCyh-VDj3rXnDp-DJehZqBzO3jjQRciF6914_L26mcsYb9qAlG1IZDeaZdMg3CWzzBSVebv9tP2bzAzDoRVhs/s320/100_5924.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267483472922731490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbLVF034fNN9MJMWx4rX9zczTIMp9B_m2Pj3BEG5bAN43pkIonx3_dJMXtLZayG3xi8vp9fFS1g9qm1dg5OV1X57qxCu5ThmQo2PxE5E5ustfgs6oo8wqp9u7BTQGAdntXVo3kdv9Pdrmw/s320/100_5927.jpg" border="0" /></p><p></p><br /><br /><p><br /></p><br /><br /><p align="center">Assignment 2: Diffused Light</p><p align="center"><br />For this photo I created a softer light on the subject using blinds.

Basically, I directly pointed the light from my lamp on the subject from different angles. The first shot was kind of angled underlighting. But the second two shots were high side lighting which is supposed to be effetctive for portraits. I did feel like the high side lighting was more interesting and effective for this scene. I like the shadows and modeling this light produced.<br /></div><div align="center"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267485887912483730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand;

This was an event at Mojo's with live music. Featured artists included Exene Cervenka, Shirrelle C Limes and the Lemons, and Kaitlyn Conroy. Because the Citizen Jane festival is celebrating women in film, I took a photo of my friend Olivia filming the live music. I also took a photo of a couple dancing, you can see they are having fun, and you can also see the musicians on stage behind them. Another photo just amused me because there is a large glass of beer in the front then two people laughing holding beers at the end of the bar. It just looks funny to me.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-680307726633632742008-10-15T12:18:00.000-07:002008-10-20T13:36:39.422-07:00Overflow<div style="text-align: center;">Photojournalism: Overflow Living Water event</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I really enjoyed photographing this event. The discussion was about the importance of clean water and lack of clean water in the world. We learned that millions of people don't have access to clean water, 88% of disease is caused by water born diseases and much more. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The group did a fundraiser working with global aid network to get life straws to people without clean water. Basically a life straw can be put it rivers, lakes, any body of water, and will filter that water. They last for at least a year. </div><div style="text-align: center;">This water talk was held at a weekly event called Overflow where christians can worship, play games and hear a speaker. So I wanted to capture the spiritual aspect too, which is why I photographed Rachel reading her bible.</div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_Y8cspm1saeDFhaYyMIFHMebk9BnOdQoIAn_sgZkLEsKHmK7J5FHE0ucRMWBkgKjYOuIaVBj7N6KdaqcJneQg3baCgq4EBl0OU0VDtk_BvKLhhm7kODYzGiMOEXfeswYz5EzCPKx4Zqs/s320/Blog+Photo+4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257463344583041826" /><img style="display:block;

I really enjoyed the lighting in the picture so I want to try and recapture that. The reflection on the vase really caught my attention. The texture of the flowers was also nice so I am including that in the shots. I really just wanted to re-create the whole concept, minus the baby. Although my cat did make an appearance in some of the shots, which was fun. <div><br /></div><div>After taking the photos I was fairly happy with the results. I feel like I captures the texture and contrast like Geddes did. Unfortunately it was difficult for me to capture a direct focus approach. I love the the vase though, and the lines running horizontally across it. I am also happy with the elements of the photos and my favorite of the three photos is the one with the cant. I love the combination of the textured flowers, with the smooth , reflective vase and the curious cat.<br /><br /></div><div>Although there were many similarities between my photos and Geddes piece. I did enjoy experimenting with the composition. For example I love the wide open black space to the right of the subject in the first picture, contrasted with the color and busyness of the flowers in the vase, that just makes an exciting picture to me. I think what makes me love the original photo by Anne, and my pictures so much is probably the dark background with the bright textural foreground. Over all it was a fun assignment and I am fairly happy with the results. </div>ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-27184035089927711742008-09-08T23:35:00.000-07:002008-09-12T08:47:57.791-07:00Photo Critique<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ0eheP_JRIUKsKYzY9mrcYw-d1HKJ5NpdDZ8BGVkOAzyADY3b6SaGJa7rRk9VrRZBqMsvuhrWiOlck9Lma9Mp9WbD5VqLSEt3Ofepds-0p8WlcQlhdqe1CcTb1fsjmhIZgNZSNPYs9NOW/s1600-h/Photo+Critique+geddes14.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243906807033938178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ0eheP_JRIUKsKYzY9mrcYw-d1HKJ5NpdDZ8BGVkOAzyADY3b6SaGJa7rRk9VrRZBqMsvuhrWiOlck9Lma9Mp9WbD5VqLSEt3Ofepds-0p8WlcQlhdqe1CcTb1fsjmhIZgNZSNPYs9NOW/s320/Photo+Critique+geddes14.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I really admire the work of Anne Geddes so I chose one of her pieces for critique. Of course I almost always enjoy the content in her pieces because they are usually cute and happy babies. She captures a lot of innocence and light that children seem to exude. I admire her creativity and ability to imagine children as part of nature and photograph them in ways you we don’t expect to see them.<br /><br />In this particular picture I love the soft lighting, but the way she included the vase and marbles that highly reflect the light around the subject. The reflection of the light on the vase was a good manipulation of bounce lighting that caused more contrast so the baby stands out. Geddes also did a fantastic job manipulating texture. The dark background seems very flat, but the subject in the foreground features the baby wearing the flower hat. The hat inspires an organic feel and makes me think of holding flower pedals. It is a nice contrast to the smooth texture of the glass and marbles.<br /><br />The composition is also nice and simple featuring the child as the subject in the foreground, but fallen down on the table to her right is a flower, that flower gives a nice twist to what could have been a boring almost symmetrical photo. It was really smart of Geddes to feature the one fallen flower to add interest for the viewer. The lovely colorful flowers full of texture really stand out from the grey background and brown table, again causing the subject to "pop".<br /><br />The direct approach of the central focus is really nice. Geddes chose to capture the child from a frontal vantage point, where I think she was able to capture the innocence and curiosity of the baby in a simple manner. Between the elements of texture, lighting and the subject, it worked to her advantage to use such a direct approach for this piece.<br /><br />Part of what makes this picture so captivating to me is the organic natural feel. Although geometric shapes obviously make a strong and interesting photo, I enjoy the warm and inviting feel of the natural shapes and lines in this piece. I feel like the simplicity of the natural shapes, and the curvy lines lead to the greater appreciation of the innocent subject. The photo features a natural subject we can all relate to in some way. Combining all the elements leads us to be able to understand the picture, and they invoke a reaction.ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-21858393387119059952008-09-08T13:36:00.000-07:002008-09-08T13:50:04.536-07:00Filters and tweaks<div style="text-align: center;">This was our first photoshop , photo tweaking assignment:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6btSgbuqFdQbiu8H_RP0pZUzYGAC1-_pH7Zq-S0vWvX1d3BmYf_ms6ZV7nmWkzYzHwNc7iCGgAtYWwtm96vQ2ew_SWWDehfS3Dlk4m80-kWv9vpjb21YGrBd0LlpiUaPy_XIy9FpyTevZ/s1600-h/Grayscale.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6btSgbuqFdQbiu8H_RP0pZUzYGAC1-_pH7Zq-S0vWvX1d3BmYf_ms6ZV7nmWkzYzHwNc7iCGgAtYWwtm96vQ2ew_SWWDehfS3Dlk4m80-kWv9vpjb21YGrBd0LlpiUaPy_XIy9FpyTevZ/s320/Grayscale.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243754275730191250" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I used the grayscale filter on this photo, I really like the way it turned out. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it has a classic but fun feel.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTBHzfZD9iyiZ-15GYOqZN3YkEfWSE6YRwpleNcrYLBETEPJn9v2T_F7w_P50EZrQPWVA5FIsxLKxRU7zWQSE6Yi9Fs3I-9klRUVEeyo34ZpeRSDiEiZsB-koMMO5K8SZA292sDpPD9VSI/s1600-h/Water+paper+filter.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTBHzfZD9iyiZ-15GYOqZN3YkEfWSE6YRwpleNcrYLBETEPJn9v2T_F7w_P50EZrQPWVA5FIsxLKxRU7zWQSE6Yi9Fs3I-9klRUVEeyo34ZpeRSDiEiZsB-koMMO5K8SZA292sDpPD9VSI/s320/Water+paper+filter.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243754135832934082" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I used a water paper filter on this one that worked well. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I also intensified the red through out the picture some. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Ultimately it created a creepier "sublime" feel, which I like.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6328ybgY3c44Vj4LC0r-2kUfJhjKkf54q1OTspAofEZ8y4tsBcjkv5zungi1squuJ3V1W36cXhpcxzp04vxjM3uvUCFY6DUQoFsnfZacgW_3zAEThx6SJbPc70qh5gFVZkI9YT5z7qr2c/s1600-h/100_4106.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6328ybgY3c44Vj4LC0r-2kUfJhjKkf54q1OTspAofEZ8y4tsBcjkv5zungi1squuJ3V1W36cXhpcxzp04vxjM3uvUCFY6DUQoFsnfZacgW_3zAEThx6SJbPc70qh5gFVZkI9YT5z7qr2c/s320/100_4106.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243753793980051250" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I greatly heightened the contrast in this which worked well.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I also added very faded fall leaves through the background for texture. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it looks okay.</div>ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-86323120266695127422008-09-05T13:26:00.000-07:002008-09-05T13:46:27.835-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxY34N4SVXmiPRQUkqeKr1YDLMww8s3fBkpeuQnTq8aXzG9UxkqayvYk2LI631WGRfApyZqVLMQFrHe4shgCkCSXqgE84w4Y7R4LLuIcNnRIc_3p7ydTs1vhl0nhRujEoHVNcLms6jMG3m/s1600-h/100_4289.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxY34N4SVXmiPRQUkqeKr1YDLMww8s3fBkpeuQnTq8aXzG9UxkqayvYk2LI631WGRfApyZqVLMQFrHe4shgCkCSXqgE84w4Y7R4LLuIcNnRIc_3p7ydTs1vhl0nhRujEoHVNcLms6jMG3m/s320/100_4289.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242638389968607394" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Obviously this scene is a little creepy. I think the coloring and shading turned out perfectly on this piece. I love the perspective because it makes the viewer feel so small in comparison to the "huge" gate. I also love the angle and scary caution voltage sign on the gate door. It is just a different perspective and emotion I tried to explore when taking shots. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Kc_AmBb3i-1lHjhtqSAudAT58U7sNW7dkGlrYxGY2qY2FT840cyBbSzxmYK4b03_pN_ZNqv9bo5HTsYOEpkbpU3KgE7skDYuKEqyPBquZOnQxFVW7J-XvQQ2W0gsBsdcj01mkeQDJD89/s1600-h/100_4349.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Kc_AmBb3i-1lHjhtqSAudAT58U7sNW7dkGlrYxGY2qY2FT840cyBbSzxmYK4b03_pN_ZNqv9bo5HTsYOEpkbpU3KgE7skDYuKEqyPBquZOnQxFVW7J-XvQQ2W0gsBsdcj01mkeQDJD89/s320/100_4349.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242637582597884258" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I love this picture for several reasons. I think the first reason I like it is because you don't initially realize that it is a stack of pipes. I love that there is a vanishing point created by the pipes. At first all of the white circles make the picture look like a flat pattern but then when you look closer you see the depth, and light at the end of the pipes on the other side. The small plant in the front also interests me because of the green contrast from the rest of the photo and its small size. I feel like there is even some symbolism here, like the pipes (representing man made industrialization) is towering over nature and diminishing the earth until like in this picture you can barely even find nature in your surroundings.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_fmZRT5hASw8fEsv2WeqR9n68EgzPzrZ7ArBlNWPD1Mu4u2Bp7rsRX32LNM11NJDXebaLhnqGqUFeJj86tenNOXYdBV3ZP_aPQY_vvn-8vOALk9YkbN0BKw19mxKZO_-9Tj4gPVVFl_ay/s1600-h/100_4106.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_fmZRT5hASw8fEsv2WeqR9n68EgzPzrZ7ArBlNWPD1Mu4u2Bp7rsRX32LNM11NJDXebaLhnqGqUFeJj86tenNOXYdBV3ZP_aPQY_vvn-8vOALk9YkbN0BKw19mxKZO_-9Tj4gPVVFl_ay/s320/100_4106.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242636670970042370" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to include this photo in my blog because I love nature. I think the contrast between the green grass and bright yellow flower is beautiful. I also the like the placement of the flower in the shot. For one thing the placement effects the perspective and makes the flower look larger than it is in real life. I also think the off center upper left corner of the frame creates interest for the eye because it isn't a typical location to place a subject.<br /><br /></div></div>ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386069058533062560.post-31451573949826672642008-08-27T14:13:00.000-07:002008-08-27T14:16:26.252-07:00Bubbles<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXUToR-v2GSSEF0ZyngM7KWGsgFA8KjP0bDDc6ut8SwmXSdJnuLkbTCyKtCkaiiC5jPlUDDAReXvhXd38pTEuccSCOMhvLdAenys4ho0uOq91iGJBMjpTR-S3rT_pmBzyRxcQ6d-w639e/s1600-h/n178500712_30354366_3275.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibXUToR-v2GSSEF0ZyngM7KWGsgFA8KjP0bDDc6ut8SwmXSdJnuLkbTCyKtCkaiiC5jPlUDDAReXvhXd38pTEuccSCOMhvLdAenys4ho0uOq91iGJBMjpTR-S3rT_pmBzyRxcQ6d-w639e/s320/n178500712_30354366_3275.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239309372141760770" /></a><br />This photograph is fun and has a lot of energy. It is special to me because the girl in the picture is a close friend of mine, and this was a party we had for her graduation before she moved to LA. I love the way she stands out from the back ground. I also really like the movement of the bubbles and how surprised she looks.

I even think concrete is pretty because if you watch when you are walking across the parking lot, it seems to sparkle like you are walking on a sea of gray glitter. So that is a little insight into my imagination and appreciation of the world around me. That being said, this picture I chose to post today features a tree. Its sound simple enough, but I really like this photo because of the angle which it was taken. Its hard to describe, but this photo makes me feel like I could step out onto the trunk of the tree and walk straight up it. I also like the way the colors flow from the darker shadows in the bottom right corner to the brighter colors in the upper left. Overall, the piece just motivates my imagination.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRHeMFcR6xWuxUMQgv7dTiCfZnlraKNthb5BJFOB08wpBCQzwRaYmmE-ZEdtjoJGfaieNdqxPaV8bZ5P5UaEeAf_Fmgw5oCI6SyE3HKyoPsKAXeLGoqPSK35DDf2asOig9ECxy1WUoOXH2/s1600-h/n178500712_30333334_5333.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRHeMFcR6xWuxUMQgv7dTiCfZnlraKNthb5BJFOB08wpBCQzwRaYmmE-ZEdtjoJGfaieNdqxPaV8bZ5P5UaEeAf_Fmgw5oCI6SyE3HKyoPsKAXeLGoqPSK35DDf2asOig9ECxy1WUoOXH2/s320/n178500712_30333334_5333.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239280955326273154" /></a><div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br /></p></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>ECAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12614723030587797786noreply@blogger.com1
