Unseen, Part Two

Here's a glimpse of the Jefferson Memorial through the blossoms of the cherry tree. I loved how different the point of view was. What was a huge plus was the fact that the cherry blossoms were blooming and although the weather was not warm enough to fully enjoy it, it was definitely beautiful and it is a sign that spring is on the way.

Springtime

You know that spring is in the air when you see plants flowering and you can feel the temperature rise. So excited what spring has to offer this year and can't hardly wait for the Cherry Blossom Festival in April!

A Fond Farewell

I was taking pictures of the frozen banks of Lake Michigan when I caught a candid moment between Patrick and his dog. We were leaving to drive back to Washington, DC that morning and he wanted to say goodbye one last time. I think I was perfectly able to capture the feelings and the emotions that were being felt/experienced.

The Unseen

The three photos that are included in this post are a part of our assignment of "the unseen". To me, what it means to be "unseen" is to take a photograph in a different point of view by using different angles and vantage points. All three photos show as if I was within a tree. I tried to capture different moods/different ways of seeing things.

Picture Perfect (Well Almost)

Here is a picture that, thanks to the help of my professor, I tried to fix using photoshop. In the touched photo (using photoshop), I made two layers and tried to darken the image. I this by burning and playing around with the levels.

Easter Basket

For my "one-shot" assignment, I didn't exactly know what to take as this year I spent Easter with my boyfriend and his family. It was a first for me, as I have never celebrated Easter without being with my family. However, I felt like I was a part of my boyfriend's family as they included me in their activities, such as an Easter egg hunt throughout the house. They even had an Easter basket made for me. This is a picture of my basket filled with candy and with a personalized Frango Chegg (a caramel filled chocolate egg), which can only be found in Chicago. I have to admit I that this was one of the best Easter holidays I have ever had in a long time.

The Pelican

One solitary pelican is "swimming" alone in the ocean. The best thing about the being on an island is the wildlife that you see. Two weeks ago, when this photo was taken, I saw not only pelicans but dolphins! It was exciting.

Sandwiched!

I saw this building structure in Dupont Circle and thought it was interesting to note that the middle building was shorter and sandwiched in between two taller and skinner buildings. Although I don't find it attractive, I found it to be comical.

Just Chilling

Just sitting and chilling watching the sun go down. How I love the beach!

View from a Car Window

For some odd reason, I found this photo to be interesting. I know it may not be perfect but for me, I liked the way it showed my view point from where I was sitting. We were on our way to the beach and I love how lines of the road curve and you can see the reflection of the road in the window.

Cloudy Day
