School Context Assignment

In this assignment, we were given the freedom to take a picture of somewhere in the school, then edit the photo to make it appear there's something going on in/with the school that isn't actually real. For mine, I decided to take a picture of a hallway, then add a portal from the game Minecraft to the end of the hallway. This assignment was a bit annoying for me, just because things weren't working for what I envisioned in my mind. Oddly enough, in the beginning of the class I liked Gimp, and slowly I'm starting to dislike it.

Black and White

For my last photo assignment, I chose to do a black and white photo shoot. What I did was I went around my house, taking pictures of things that I thought would look good in black and white. What ended up happening was I would take a lot of pictures of something, then right as I finished up taking pictures of that scene, my eyes suddenly saw something else I could take photos of.

My best picture is a picture of a shelf of old books. The reason why I think this photo is my best is because a lot of people will associate old with black and white, and so I feel that these two things match together. Also, the angle and lighting of the books on the shelf looks good to me. When I turn the books straight, they actually look off.
