Portfolio Day in Chicago.

My favorite Collage was the Rep from Pratt University,
The guy gave me a lot of info of things to bring in for future portfolio day type things.
I think i liked him the best because he was an actual photography teacher at the collage and
what he said made me feel like he did pay attention to what i was saying.
He also took time to ask about what types of cameras i had used.

My least favorite was the school rep from The University of The Arts.
She was mean, not because of what she said, but she showed that she didn't pay attention to what i had been saying. She also said the i needed to have different sizes of all my Photography and not just one uniform size. She didn't make any sense to me. She also said the she couldn't make an interperation of my artwork saying, I wasn't "well rounded" because i didn't bring my sketchbook.


Well that was my "Cinderella Blog" for today

My concentration

My concentration would seem a bit typical,
like portraits but not just a head shot,
My general theme would be people, animals
or even objects,
but to photograph them so that they have a deeper meaning
that just what is showing. Not just a girl, but a girl with a dream that makes us all wonder.

My favorite Photographer.

I think my favorite Photographer would have to be Yousuf Karsh. He changed the way portraits were taken. He went from very simple portraits to using different lighting on little parts of the body such as hands. He went from being a refuge of war, to becoming one of the most well known Photographers to ever take portraits. I like his work mostly because it always makes you think more in depth of who the person on the portrait really is.

The Genius of Photography ep1 pt4

i find it interesting how a shadow or specific lighting can compleltly change the mood of a photograph. This also reminds me of Yousuf Karsh and how he used specific lighting to create his photograph and how he went to the extent to use specific light just on hands. I also found it interesting how portraits have changed through time.

The Genius of Photography ep1 pt6

I found the images a bit disturbing, but it changed all of criminal science. It also made it alot easiar for investigators to make a refrence to a crime scene. i thought that the picture of the past are very interesting, and it's even more interesting how generations have changed and documented through photography

Design by the Book - Episode 2

It's amazing how one place could inspire so many people to create so many things. i think the masks are interesting, i wontder were they came from, i know that masks are made in many different places and each place has it's own style but i love how they all originated form the same place. There are so many resources availible in many librarys it's really to get inspired.

It seems interesting, but it looks a little complicated. It also looks like it would take a lot of time and patience. I also feel like you need to keep everything very organized if not you'll loose everything. i think you need to be really focused on what you are doing, because it seems really easy to mess up.
