Emulation Project

For this project, I emulated H. David Stein's photographic style. He focuses mainly on nature, flowers, and animals, and is also fascinated with macro and abstract photography. I decided to transfer my emulations of Stein's work onto wood using a blender pen to give it more of a rustic, natural feel.

Independent Project- 3rd Quarter

These are the photographs I took for my Independent Project this quarter. I took them on the Las Vegas strip at night when everything was lit up.

Independent Project Idea

For this project, I am trying to imitate another's work. I have chosen the photographer Peter Watson because I like how he uses city lights and intentional camera shake to create beautiful photographs. "Throughout his photographs Peter presents audiences with an intimate view of international cities, including Sydney, Tokyo, Paris and New York." I will be taking my photos in Las Vegas, Nevada. Here are a few of his photos:

Relating Text & Image

For this assignment I have chosen the poem below, by Shel Silverstein.

Picture Puzzle Piece

One picture puzzle piece

Lyin’ on the sidewalk,

One picture puzzle piece

Soakin’ in the rain.

It might be a button of blue

On the coat of the woman

Who lived in a shoe.

It might be a magical bean,

Or a fold in the red

Velvet robe of a queen.

It might be the one little bite

Of the apple her stepmother

Gave to Snow White.

It might be the veil of a bride

Or a bottle with some evil genie inside.

It might be a small tuft of hair

On the big bouncy belly

Of Bobo the Bear.

It might be a bit of the cloak

Of the Witch of the West

As she melted to smoke.

It might be a shadowy trace

Of a tear that runs down an angel’s face.

Nothing has more possibilities

Than one old wet picture puzzle piece.

~Shel Silverstein
