I am obviously very thankful for my family. I have the best family and I am super close with all of them. My little sister is my best friend although at times she can be annoying.My parents are super awesome and supportive they always know how to make me laugh. I have aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents from all over and I am extremely thankful for them. They make my day better every time I visit them!

2)I am also very thankful for all of my awesome school friends! They motivate me and are hilarious, I have been making memories with them since forever and they make even the most annoying chores better. My closest school friends include, Jenna, Mandy, Paige, Madison, and last but certainly not least Josie. These people are some of my closest friends and I have no idea how I would survive without them!

3) FACT, I am very thankful for my favorite TV show the office. I have watched the entire series 4 times and I loved every second of it except for when Michael leaves. This show has created so many inside jokes with my friends and I and I don’t think any show will ever be better.

4)I am thankful for calligraphy. Over the past year doing calligraphy has become a hobby and even a job for me. Calligraphy has brought me closer with some of my friends who are in the business with me and I really hope I can continue in the future.

5)I am thankful for camp Lohikan. I have made so may amazing friends and memories here and I would consider this place a second home. I am so happy that I decided to go almost four years ago because I have had such an amazing experience !

6) I am thankful for cheer. I started cheering at Shockwave Allstars three years ago and I have learned so much and met so may amazing people. I am so thankful for being part of an amazing team.

7)I am thankful for my best friend Jenna. Jenna is hilarious and I love her soooo much. She is always there for me and she loves to steal my food.

Smile

In this project I found it difficult to find good backgrounds to take my pictures, because a lot of the places I took pictures weren’t very exciting. When I compare my smiling and not smiling pictures I noticed that there is a lot more character in peoples’ faces when they smile. Also, people look more intimidating when they are not smiling. Being a bias photographer for this project could make the photographer portray the subject as who they know them to be and this project is supposed to be random people. Ask them about their past and what they want in the future so you can better understand the person. To see more pictures click HERE!

Rule of Thirds

By Samantha | November 1, 2018 | Comments 0 Comment

For this project I think that finding good places, people and objects to photograph worked really well, and it was easy finding good lighting. I think that a challenge was places to photograph people without other people not in thew background. After this project, I understand how important the rule of thirds is when taking pictures, because it sort of guides your eyes where to look. I set up the lines so that the school, for example was in the middle and semi top 6 boxes and the grass and stones took up the bottom 3 boxes. Click HERE for more pictures
