    These portraits are really stunning and I admire the fact that you tried something out of your comfort zone. I really enjoy the 5th and 6th portrait and the way you have a circle framing the person, it is visually appealing. I also really enjoy the eighth image, the way she is pushing against the window almost as to signify wanting to escape quarantine. These images are interesting to look at and don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone more often.

    These portraits are great! The first photo it loos like she's licking the flowers. Great thumbnail for your post too! I think it's creative you took to using different filters, such as the telescope portrait. I haven't seen this idea yet from the class. I'm also really enjoying the use of shadows on photos 3 and 4. It's almost like she's projecting her inner-self onto the wall, almost as if her shadow could instantly disconnect from her physical body and float away.

    I love these kp! They are all gorgeous and I love the colors throughout. I also really like the way you incorporated these spaces into the portraits. You always seem to be really conscious of what you decide to include in the frame, and this really shows in this set. I like in #8 how each section of the image becomes less visible behind the glass, and while her hands are the focal point, you can still see just enough of her face at the top.

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...
