Final Exam


While it is not my best photo, this one definitely transformed the way I viewed and took photography. Before this photo, my photos were often dark and boring, but afterwards, I started to be more aware of light-and-dark contrast.

Shape and form are different because while shape is one object, form is a series of objects.

Pattern and repetition are different because pattern is the repeating of an object, while repetition is the use of pattern to create a sense of unity.

Note: Both form and repetition similar to shape and pattern respectively, but are more complex forms.

About me!

Aileen's about page was very inspiring, with emoticons and all.

MC Week story: N/A

Photo Story: Here

Final Photo Project: Here

Out of all my photo projects, the last one was definitely the best. My previous projects had been focused on subjects that I wasn't very interested in, but the last one had been about the passion of my life. I enjoyed doing that project quite a bit. Instrument photographers often use a lot of light-and-dark contrast, so I was able to use that technique.

I learned from the final photo project that I didn't have to take pictures of things that I wasn't very interested in. I could take pictures of things that I was extremely passionate about.

And everything was good.

Student Website Reviews

Period 1: http://aileenhhsu.weebly.com

I really like the design of the top of the page. The photo on her home page is the best because it makes really good use of lighting.

Period 2: http://nathanmaphotography.weebly.com

The photo of the blue origami dragon is the best because its colors strongly contrast and the dragon exhibits multiple shades of blue.

p.s. I really like the "warning: pointless button" thing on his home page.

Period 4: http://tellingstorieswithpictures.weebly.com

I like how the home page of his website has a link to his gallery. The photo of the Legos is the best because it is very colorful and very balanced.

Story with a photo - What a Nice Day


It was a nice day, in the lovely city of Fremont. The sun was out, the grass was green, and flowers were starting to bloom. There was something wrong, though: the amount of precipitation was much lower than usual. Every day set a new low, and Fremont had just experienced the last rainstorm for the next few months. Despite the bright sun, the green grass, and the blooming flowers, many people knew that the nice days would not last. The sun will become too harsh, the grass will turn yellow, and the flowers will wither and rot.

What a nice day, in the lovely city of Fremont.
