    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!

Final // reflection

    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 ...

Judah's Final: Mercurial

Mercurial There’s so many different stories to be told when you point the lens of a camera towards another human. The crease of eyebrows, shifting eyes and posture, and tilt of the head tells a long tale, true or not, for photographer and viewer. Transforming people into characters, into icons, is something that always drew me to photography. And in January 2020, I thought I figured out my next brilliant scheme: I made a tinder specifically to find and make photos of these strangers. A constant stream of people, with passing stories, being immortalized to my liking. The semester was looking to be an exciting one. Haha, yeah, fuck covid though.  Obviously we’re here. In quarantine. Alone or with the few roommates, family members, or pets we find ourselves sharing space with. Not exactly ideal for any kind of working, but especially not for the portrait photographer. There’s really only one reliable model you have if you’re alone. And that, unfortu...

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...
