Self Portrait (Triptych)

 1. Bowling lanes- The bowling alley is practically my home
Ball rolling down lane- this represents my bowling progress
Only me in Alley- represents how when I am focused I shut out everything else and pretty much act as if I'm alone.
2. Face- I try to show no emotion based on what the flames represent
Flames- the world right now crumbling from all the protests that are meant to be peaceful but then turn violent
Flag- the flag is the people of america in the situation of protest
3. The black and white represents my intriguing love for baseball long ago.
Bat- it is the most recognizable thing in baseball besides the ball
Hat- usually baseball players wear hats or hard helmets when at bat
Facial expression- The way baseball changed my life in a serious way that is what my face represents being serious.

Questions Answers:

I did not know much about the subject going into this project as what I'm going to do or how I am going to get creative, I just rolled with the flow and tried to relate each photo. I definitely think each photo tells a story because because they all relate to my standpoint on each photo I took; also, the photos show a true meaning to me. The frustrating part about these photos was actually figuring out what to do and taking them, all of the setting up and making sure each photo was done well. My standards for each photo was to make sure they made sense and to stay true to me and me only based on my belief for each photo representation. I would give this a good grade based on the thinking and inner trueness from each photo and what they mean to me on a personal standard. If someone else looked at these they would realize that I think beyond what the average person would think, also they would wonder what else I would photograph based on the photos here. I would've liked to go other places and take more photos because I had faced an injury before creating these which effected my ability to go out and be more creative in a sense. I want my teachers to know that I am kind of unusual take have talents that they wouldn't expect from an average student attending their class.

Individual Final Pictures

Reading Photos

Havana, Cuba

Alberto Reyes-Rueters

Air Force One, carrying U.S. President Barack Obama and his family, flies over a neighborhood in Havana, Cuba as it approaches the runway to land at Havana's international airport, on March 20, 2016.

1. A good observation is how many shades of blue are in this photo, and how it is perfectly timed.

2. The people in this photograph probably are wondering why there is a huge blue plane in the sky and who is in it, or where it is going.

3. This photo is really good because of the many different things happening. The huge plane in the sky, the amount of blue in the photo, it makes it a good photo.

Malheur Natural Wildlife Refuge, Oregon

Rob Kerr

Duane Ehmer on his horse, Hellboy. He was in a group of anti-government protesters who took over a federally owned wildlife sanctuary for nearly 6 weeks.

1. I would title this Pure America, I would do so because this is very patriotic and a very beautiful and stunning photo.

2. This photo reminds me of a Wild West movie where they use only horses as transportation and horses a big role.

3. The man in this photo is undoubtedly trying to represent the country he loves by looking and portraying the United States.

Grand Teton National Park

Charlie Hamilton James

Parts of the Yellowstone region are wilder now than they’ve been in a century. Grizzlies are spreading. This one, in Grand Teton National Park, fends off ravens from a bison carcass. Workers moved it away from the road to keep scavengers and tourists apart.

1. The most important part in this photo is how the vultures are trying to steal what the bear worked for, they are swooping in trying to feast on the dead yak when the bear isn't looking directly a them.

2. The photographer in this photo captured a fantastic photo by really pulling out the true meaning of a vulture swooping in to rob off of the bear.

3. If this was my photo I would've done the same thing he did by submitting it to National Geographic.
