    These cloud photos, reminds me of paintings and how they capture this raw appreciation of shapes. I like this branch out too, use to seeing your buildings and seeing how you capture clouds are totally different and I dig that. I think the use of different locations for clouds help a lot, especially in the farm fields, where you can see the true extent of these formations.

    I love these nature photos and how they feel so peaceful, the second one especially. I also really enjoy the reflection in the water in the last image, it brings more dimension to the photograph and is nicely captured. The second to last one is really interesting to me as well. I like they way you were able to capture this moment right before a storm and I really enjoy how you captured the clouds in this image.

    They kind of make me feel like a storm chaser! Weather photos are interesting because I haven’t really ever seen those kinds. The most difficult would be taking photos of tornadoes. That would be a true challenge! I can also appreciate the effort that was taken into these pictures. The fact that you went out during a storm for photos really shows your interest and commitment to the craft.

    Hey Ontha! Thank you very much for the kind words, it means a lot! In regards to using a wide angle lens for that wide photo, it was actually a panorama taken with my phone. It took sooo many tries to keep the horizon line flat, but the panoramas are a lot of fun. Thanks again for your thoughts, I'm really glad they had that effect with you!

My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge  as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...

    I'm sure everyone is well aware how stressful and anxiety ridden this semester has been. For myself personally, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I work at a nursing home in town, so when this all broke out I had to evaluate what was more important- exposing myself as a high risk individual, or taking a leave from my job and being broke, jobless, and unable to pay rent. The latter wasn't a viable option. There were so many points in this semester where I wanted to stop and give up, throw away all my classes and just lock myself in my house forever. Especially when my facility finally became exposed to COVID-19. It was hard to cope with all of this, I had only my partner to rely on.      At some point me and my partner started to go for walks to clear our heads. There's something centering about acknowledging the smaller parts of the world around you. As I started to take photos, I was able to zoom in and recognize the smaller worlds that ...

                                   This semester has been a tough one as we all know. I was going to use this class this semester to revisit the art of color photo that I had put on the back burner. My editing skills had decreased a lot since the first time I took the class and I had hoped it would get better during the course of the semester. However, as we know the class didn't go as planned so I resorted to using my little digital camera to do my shooting rather than my film camera. This was a hard transition because I make pictures so differently on that camera than with my film camera. However, Meadow and I started developing our own film and got a scanner. So for the last couple of weeks, I had been shooting new film pictures and scanning them. However, my photoshop canceled due to money issues. I am using other programs now. I developed old film from a year ago and wanted to pair the...
