I am a very sleepy person. I can sleep for hours and hours, anyplace anytime. I am very optimistic and I love animals. Cats, dogs, and horses are my favorite. When I was younger, I wanted to be a vet, but now I want to be a journalist. When I am home alone and bored I like to make jewlery from random everyday objects, such as zippers, dictaphone tapes, soda can tabs, anything I can get my hands on. Over the summer, I signed up for any art program at the Noguchi Museum and for my final exhibit project, I made jewlery based on things found in nature. I think that if I do not succeed in Journalism, that I would go into the field of design.
In school I am usually very quiet because I don't have much to say. During school I always feel like taking a nap during zero and fourth period, but I can't )=.
As an introduction to our portrait unit, our first assignment was to create a self portrait. Using my camera, I set it to soft-snap (a feature I discovered in a previous post) and put it on a 10-second timer and kind of improvised, which lead to this (the circle in the background is actually a part of a vinyl record). I also experimented with the brightness/contrast settings on a photo editing program on my computer, which explains the tint. Nonetheless, I look forward to further experimenting with portraits - as of now, my unit long influences are famous portrait photographers Yousuf Karsh and Herb Ritts, known for capturing images of pop culture figures.
