My World

So, after a hell of a time trying to host this, and a visit to computer services, here it is!

Philly A-Z

2009-02-15T16:16:00.000-08:00

I call this "Life of a Journalism Student: A-Z." It consists of caffeine, books, movies, Annenburg, food, animals, fake accents, and everyday Temple sights with an odd twist. Enjoy!

Wine Glass Shoot

2009-02-10T13:22:00.000-08:00

These are from photo lighting. I brought in some wine glasses to shoot. The cookies-and-milk setup is Wendy's, but it was too cute not to shoot.

Stuff in Slush- Documenting Washington Avenue

2009-02-07T13:21:00.000-08:00

Today, Sande and I documented Washington Avenue. Washington Ave is, as Sande put is "the ugliest street in Philly." She wasn't too far off. It's industrial and dirty, even by Philly standards, but it has great Mexican food. In honor of the first real snow that we received this week, I decided to document how disgusting snow becomes after four days in the city. "Stuff on Slush" consists of photos from each block of Washington Avenue that show an assortment of things that are either in, near, or on the slush that is left from the snow storm.

Patricia's Photoshoot

These pictures are from a photoshoot in Photo Lighting with Patricia, a Temple student/model. Taken on 2/2/09

12 at Boathouse Row and the Art Museum

2009-02-02T12:17:00.001-08:00

This assignment involved going to the Boathouse Row/Art Museum area and talking to 12 people who I didn't know. I had to interview them and photograph them. While this didn't sound like a hard assignment, I never realized just how painfully shy I can be when talking to strangers. It took two days at the Art Museum to complete this assignment, because after several rejections the first day, I got discouraged and went home. However, the second day was much more productive.

Of the twelve people I photographed, six were visiting from different continents and needed someone to translate my questions for them. I was pleasantly surprised how willing to help me they were when it was very inconvenient for them. I ended up having a great time shooting these people, and even ended up striking up a conversation with a man on the way home. He told me to put my sweater back on so I wouldn't catch a cold because the weather can trick you into thinking it's warmer out than it really is. All in all, this was a difficult assignment for me, but very rewarding.

Candy (below) and her younger sister translated for Belkis and Salvador. I am not pleased with how Candy's portrait turned out. However, I was shooting in JPEG fine, not RAW, so I was unable to better correct the exposure. Her younger sister did not wish to be photographed. Alicia (pronounced A-lee-cee-a) translated for Emma and Leo, her parents from Peru.

Some Winter Shooting

Philadelphia: Past and Present

2009-01-21T11:23:00.000-08:00

These pictures were all taken in Elfreth's Alley, located on the map above. There are 10 historical photographs, each at least 60 years old. Following each original photograph is a photograph that I took, replicating the original. The date taken and title (if available) follows each photograph.
