Picture Number 6: Living In the Shadows

Last year's elections yielded record amounts of voters, me being one of them. I had recently turned 18, and was excited to vote for the first time. It was a cold and bright morning. As we stood in line for two hours, I was amused at how bizarre the line must have looked. People from all ages, shapes, and sizes standing in line for hours, reading yellow papers, and shivering from the cold wind. I wanted to take a picture of the line, but didn't want to offend anyone. Instead I decided to take a picture of the people's shadows. It shows how different everyone's shadow is, but at the same time how unified we can be.

Picture Number 5: Mama Mia

While visiting Greece, my friends and I decided to sit down and people watch. There was a cute little building, with a bright blue door that caught my eye. Right as I was taking the picture, this old woman walked out of the building.

Picture Number 4: Aqua Dusk

I went to the Art Museum of Wisconsin, and was surprised to see that the building it's self was a work of art as well. It has giant "wings" on the roof that periodically flap in the wind. As you walk in side you are greeted by a giant, and sculpturally ornate dome. The floor-to-sealing windows over look the bay, and I couldn't help but take a shot of some people lining up to see the galleries down the hall.

Picture Number 2: Left Hanging

While at the Wisconsin State Fair, my cousins and I were walking in search of fried Oreo's. I looked up to see these people stuck on the gondola, and decided to take a quick picture.

Picture Number 1: Purple Scarf

While visiting the Hyczewski clan in Wisconsin for Christmas, I decided to cover my face with my scarf during a snow storm. Laughing at how much I looked like a Middle Eastern, I held the camera in front of me and snapped a shot.

Today I blogged :)

I never knew that blogging was so popular and wide spread. Clearly i was living under a rock or something, because there are so many blogs out there. After googling the definition of blogging, I must have spent about an hour looking at blogs to read for English class last night. I love the idea of posting your ideas for the world to see. It makes me feel like people have a voice that can be heard, and an opinion that matters.

I found a ton of blogs related to fashion photography and was instantly hooked. Below are links to some that I found. I like how photographers can post their pictures and get feed back from other people. Being an amateur photographer, I value people's opinions and critiques. If you take advice seriously, it's one of the best learning tools out there. Another great learning tool is to look at other people's pictures, studding the technique, style, and lighting. Blogging makes that a whole lot easier, and hey who doesn't like convenience?
