For the next digital media project, I'm planning to use the song Lake Michigan by Rogue Wave.
I want to do some sort of environmental statement ( again, I know, I promise it will be a bit different than the last one!)so I went to the Valero power plant near my house to take some gloomy, rainy-day pollution pictures. A couple turned out ok but I can't upload them at the moment. However, apparently taking pictures of power plants is frowned upon as a couple workers there asked me to leave after about 5 minutes. ]: Hopefully I have what I need.

So on a note [almost ] completely unrelated to photography, halloween is this Friday!
My boyfriend and I have decided to go as Clark Kent and Lois Lane ( low budgets?) so it should be pretty interesting!

Be sustainable.




Here's the finished product for the third assignment for Digital Media. I originally wanted to add a LOT more to this, but I decided that maybe simplicity was key, especially for the message I wanted to put out.
Living a sustainable lifestyle and minimizing the impact we have on the environment in which we live is important to me, and I wanted to show that.

The colors look a lot nicer on the Macs than they do on my PC, so hopefully to all of you they look a lot more vibrant than what I'm seeing!

Letters, letters everywhere! A little bit from the next design project.







Letter E, in a different kind of font. I thought the shape was unique. Unfortunately, the display I shot this from was moved so I can't go back to reshoot ]:














I wish I could have burred the background out a bit more fore this one but I did the best I could in such a limited space.










































This was by far my luckiest letter.
I found this pipe part sitting in the grass under a tree with this leaf just hanging out on top of it. I thought it was too perfect to pass up for a Q.












I liked the juxtaposition of the dark metal against the red plastic on this one. My favorite solution for X.

I took this back in May before I really started to learn about my camera. We were in Miami and it was just starting to rain around 9o'clock pm and I managed to get one shot that wasn't tooo blurry!
Hope you like it!






















This one was in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Taken right as I was getting off the cruise ship.










This was an accidental tie-dying experiment! I liked the way it came out.

Here are a couple from a walk around campus a coule weeks ago. I like finding shapes in nature, so I was happy to find the leaves in the second picture!
