More Spring Beauty

My neighbor has the best green thumb and allows me to come over and take pictures whenever I would like. Her Irises have started blooming and they are so beautiful. I hope that you will enjoy them.

A Swan's View

I found some of my pictures from last semester. Here is a swan who lives at Elon University in the lake. He decided to check me out while I carefully used a telephoto lens to capture this image.

A Little Bling

I thought I would try photographing something different so I grabbed some costume jewelry and took it to school. Here are some of the results:

Texture and Clipping Masks

It's the weekend and I'm goofing around with photoshop and thought I'd play with text, texture and clipping masks. I used a picture of a campfire clipped onto my texts so the word fire would be made of fire. I also took a texture and used it with my multicolor background. So here it is: As always, your comments are welcomed.

Spring has Sprung

We are finally getting some real Spring color around here. I'm not sure what kind of tree this is but the flowers sure were pretty.

Website Mockup

Our last project for Graphic Design II is to make a website mockup in photoshop. Although there is a lot more to do, here is the front page of mine, in its beginning stages.

More Fun with Color Bleed

Decided to take one of my tulip photos and turn it into black and white so that I could practice color bleed in photoshop. I wanted to bring back just one of the flowers back to color so that it would pop. As always, your comments are welcome.

Do the Dew

Our latest photo assignment was to take a color picture and turn it into a black and white and then bring back only a portion of the color. I had just finished drinking a Mountain Dew and decided that the can would be my photographic subject. So by using a mask, I was able to bring back just the color of the words on the can. Here it is.

A Little Bit of Spring

I've been posting assignments from my graphic design class and photo class but not any just go out and take a picture for the fun of it pictures. I went to check my mail and noticed the light shining through my neighbor's tulips. She has given me permission to take pictures of her flowers whenever I want to, so I had to grab my camera and take the picture of those tulips.

Truck Billboard Assignment

Our last assignment was to get a photo from the web and make a billboard that would go on a truck's side. This was to advertise the pretend business called Oasis Day Spa. Here is mine. It had to be 7 words or less and be easy to read quickly.

Visit North Carolina

One of our previous assignments

was to create an ad to feature an area in

North Carolina. I used a picture that I had taken of Pilot

Mountain to feature for the Piedmont Triad. Here it is.

Black & White Portrait

One of our recent assignments was to do a portrait and then turn it into a black & white photo. Here is one that I did of my son, Joshua.
