go light your world

Carry your candle

Run to the darkness

Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn

And hold out your candle

For all to see it

Take your candle and go light your world

Take your candle and go light your world



"go light your world"

[i'm headed on a missions trip to honduras with the potters school today. there are several photography posts scheduled to enjoy while i'm gone... after a little (or a lot of) sleep, i'm sure i will have tons of pictures to share when i get home. : ) please be praying for me and my team, and feel free to look for updates and pictures here.]

photography #21

my assignment for week 21 was to take three different shots of the same subject.
shot 1: a picture using color to set off the subject
shot 2: a high contrast, black and white image
shot 3: a shot with supporting elements that help tell a story

i had a lot of trouble coming up with a fun subject... i really couldn't figure it out, but once i did, i got some fantastic shots. the black and white image is one of my favorites. i submitted the top three photos. which is your favorite?

i like this image better than the one i submmited. the blue sets off the yellow and pink better and gives the shot more continuity. 

i love the reflection in this shot so much. : ) 

this assignment pushed me out of my comfort zone, but i really enjoyed the shoots i did. the results i got were rewarding.

photography #20

during this week i learned a lot about color theory. the assignment was to take one shot that showed use of complementary colors [opposites on the color wheel like blue/orange or red/green] and one shot that was a monochromatic color scheme [all one similar color like differing tones of blue or a black and white shot]. i submitted the top two shots. i've realized that i like the third shot quite a bit better than the second. : ) oh well. 

photography #19

the assignment: This is your story. “A blessing in disguise” will be your concept, topic, or message for one photo that you will concept and then create this week. The direction you choose to go is completely up to you as an artist.


what blessing in disguise do you think i tried to capture? 

photography #17-18

week 17 and 18 i learned about photojournalism [photoJ]. for my assignment, i picked to shoot my little sister's two year old birthday party. the goal was to tell a story through a series of pictures. the first four pictures are the one i submitted. : )
