Hello All!!
I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while. I haven't had my computer for the past month. Looks like we have a lot to catch up on. Do you remember when I told you that I was taking a photography class and that my final portfolio was going to be food? Well, my most recent assignment was an opened assignment, simply meaning that I could take pictures of anything that I wanted to. Of course, I took this delicious opportunity to try to redeem myself from the last picture of food that I took. The experience was spectacular. I arranged my ordinary lunches and dinners from my school's cafeteria, and made them beautiful and camera ready. I was so proud of the work that I had done, and when I developed the film in the dark room, they came out so well!! I chose a picture of cantaloupe as the piece that I was going to get critiqued and graded and to my surprise, my teacher loved it so much that I got a 91% !! I was ecstatic!!! Then to top everything off, my teacher taught the class a technique on how to add color to black and white photography (this is something that I have always wanted to do) and by using that technique it has taken my overall photography to the next level. I'm so excited to see what my portfolio is going to look like! If all goes well, then I will be showing it to a food magazine in the near future.
