I took this picture in Napa. It is a macro of lettuce. I like this picture because the light of the sun shining through the lettuce looks nice. When you first look at the picture, your eye is directed to the middle leaf of lettuce.

I took this picture at my house. It is a shot of my dads car. I like it because it makes the car seem like it has an attitude. When you first look at it, your eyes go straight to the circular halos in the headlight.

I took this photo in Berkley. I like it because the light is a nice contrast to the rest of the picture. Your eyes are directed towards the lamp post.

I took this picture in Napa.

  This is my favorite place on campus. It is my locker. To me, ones locker is a safe haven, or a little piece of home. It is private and something you can call as your own.

 

  This is how I feel at my locker. There is a certain feeling of home and protection.

 This is my least favorite place on campus. The boys bathrooms are hideous.

The Boys bathroom makes me feel frustrated.

This is my take on a simplistic picture of the same bulb. it is shown in held in my fingers. The presence of a human gives it an interesting emotion and a dramatic overall feel. Vignetting also adds to these effects.

 This is the original picture. By changing it to black and white, it shows a more dramatic feeling. Maddie took this picture.
