Big Bird


On my run today I decided to take my camera, and I'm glad that I did! This little fella was just chilling on a branch in Perry Farm, and he never moved. No matter how close I got to him. It was sweet!

The next project is called the photographic story. We are supposed to create a series of photos that tell a story. Well, I'm going to create "A Day in the Life of George". I will follow around a toy rhino and see what its day's like. This is one of the photos I took for it.

The Time Traveler


I am still playing around with the slow shutter speed and a flashlight. This one turned out to look like a person traveling through time in my living room. I like how the lights on the wall make it look like I'm underwater. This is pretty cool stuff!
