Cropping


BEFORE




                                                                        AFTER
This picture fits because there was just so much space around Jonathan and it just made the picture boring and the viewer wouldn’t know what the main subject in this photo was. So I cropped it a little and it looked better afterward. Also it’s easier for the viewer to figure out which is the main subject in this photo.

Shapes

I choose this photo because there a shapes in this picture of these mini lockers, also not all of them are the same shape, some of them are banged up and lop-sided and they can’t even close. I think this picture is good because these little lockers are cute! Enjoy.

This is My Life...a Photo Essay

This is my horse Dude. He is very important in my life. Why? Well he teaches me allot of things like responsibility, respect, and to work for something you really want. Yeah I know that taking care of a horse is tough, you have to clean their stall, feed and water them, and also care for them when they are sick. But there are rewards for it, they let you ride them, brush them, they also let you love and touch, they could choose not to let you do those things but they do. Another important thing that they do is that they give you love and they trust you, would you trust someone who was a predator to you?
This is my step sister Jade. I love her as much as I do as my real sister. Since I am the oldest twin, I really don’t know how to really act like a girl or I didn’t know how to put make-up on. She really taught allot of things that big sisters are supposed to teach you. She also is pregnant so I am happy that I will become an aunt. Sometimes she gets frustrated with us, but she still loves us anyway. Being a big sister is sometimes tough!
                                              
                            
                 This is my dad and step mom! I love them both really much and they have   both taught me allot of things! My dad taught me self defense (of course he is great in that category) and my step-mom has taught manners at the dinner table and how to wrestle my dad and actually win. I switch back and forth from one house to the other, but the advantages with that are that I learn allot more than what other kids learn and I love it and I am happy!


                                                  
                                             
    This is the Cruise Boat that I went on for vacation. It was a dream come true, you got treated like royalty and everything was free (well you had to pre-pay). It was a fun adventure that we have gone on, I learned allot about how other people live in other countries. Also it opened my eyes to many of the difficulties they have because they have no job. The boat was very beautiful and it was HUGE! It was bigger than my house and they had allot of activities just for kids or adults. Overall the ship helped keep everyone busy and having fun!


          
   
                                         This is my little sister Emily. Yes I know we are twins but I am 20 minutes older than her. Yes we do fight sometimes, but every sister or brother does, and if you don’t, then you really don't love each other. She helps keep me in line; also she helps me with my homework when my parents can’t. We ride our horses together; we basically almost do everything together!

This is my Mom and Step dad. My mom taught me allots about horses and I thank her for that. If it wasn’t for her I would of never have horses or have the love for them! My step dad Pete taught me how to fix things when he wasn’t around, I told him only to teach me how to fix something that involves horses. My mom taught me also how to ride, take care of a horse, and to diagnose what they have if they’re sick or injured. They both help and support me with everything that I do!

 
This is my brother Isaac,  he is 7 years old. I love him to death even though sometimes he gets on my last nerve. He keeps me on my toes with his ranbunchsionness and energy. My mom told me when i was little, when they called Isaac our half brother(which he is) I would get mad becuase i like to think of him as my full brother! I love him so much and i like to see how much he grows each and everyday in hieght, personality, and intelligencse.

 
This is my friend Raya (ray- a), she is a really good friends; we have been very close of friends for almost 4 years now. I love having her over because she just makes everything interesting. I can also tell her anything and everything and she wouldn’t tell a soul. Even though she is one grade below me, I still think she is in 9th grade. She makes me laugh and she keeps my interested in homework as well. Even though we got into some pretty rough fights, it only made us even closer. She will always be my friend no matter what!

 
These are my dogs! I know why you are wondering why they would be important in my life, but if you think about it, they are really good companions. They are always there for you, and they will love you no matter what. Having a dog sometimes makes me feel safer also. If they hear something they will bark and alert you (sometimes it could get annoying to if they bark every time they hear s0mething). They just help anyone get through hard times and they are really good companions.

Lighting

For this first photo, it has a back light. The sun is in the background making everything appears black and I just thought it looked very cool with the black trees; with eh blue sky, and the sun peeking through the
branches.

The second photo is a "light" lighting, it has a soft pink and orange lighting to it from the sunset, and I thought it looked pretty because of the colors in the background; also it kind of makes the white fence appear pinkish. Enjoy!

Still Life

I choose this photo because I thought it was neat how there are all of those leaves around this rock(yes it is a rock with alot of moss on it). It also fits this photo assignment because its not going anywhere. Enjoy!
