Color Assignment

First assignment! I had to take pictures of one color. Because
of the recent snowfall, I chose the color white. I managed to get
a lot of snow photos, and not so many indoor photos ;)

Photo 1: Path in Snow. There was a thin layer of snow that was packed down by many boots on the path.

Photo 2: Snow Boots. The snow was perfect building snow; and
some stuck on my boots.

Photo 3: Swingin' In the Snow. For this photo, I set two swings
swinging, so I could get a cool motion photo.

Photo 4: Snow Sports. I found this basketball on the ground, snow stuck to it. I don't know if that was because it had been played
with, or if it had just been snowed on.

Photo 5: Light. Finally, an indoors photo!! This photo is of lights
in the cafeteria.

Photo 6: Splatter. I don't know what this splatter was made from;
but I'm guessing white paint.

Photo 7: Shadow and light. A shadow from leaves of a plant inside.
(Another indoor photo!!)

Photo 8: Steps in the Snow. A few stairs outside, again with snow packed onto them.

That's my assignment for the day! I think I overdid it; I was only supposed to put five photos up here :)

Happy Snow Day!

Hellos and Goals

Hi! This is a blog for a photography/literature class; Literature and Justice Through Photography. I'll be posting class assignments, pictures and pieces of writing on here.

I have a few goals for this class; for both the photography aspect and the literature/creative writing aspect.

PHOTOGRAPHY GOALS

• Personal Goal: To have fun taking photographs, and to increase my skills at photography.


• Social Goal: To hopefully capture some things through photography that I want to change about our world, and by these photographs make people think about our world and things in it.


• Intellectual Goal: By taking photographs of issues in the world, I want to think more about these issues myself and think about ways to fix them.

CREATIVE WRITING GOALS

• Personal Goal: To improve my writing, and to get new ideas for stories or poems.


• Social Goal: To share some of my writing, by this website, with others besides family and friends.


• Intellectual Goal: To use my photographs to inspire me to write new things, about new subjects.

I will aim to address some of these goals through this class, and using this website.
