My Photography Final

For the final project in my photography class we had a couple of options. I honestly don't remember all of them except for the one I did. This happened to be taking 9 pictures. Pretty easy, right? Well, there's a catch. There's always a catch.

The 9 pictures had to tell a story. It is easy enough taking 9 good pictures, but making them all go together in a story requires a bit of creativity. I'll say these pictures aren't my best work (that's what I get for doing it at 2am the night before) but the class liked the story. Anywho, here's what I did:

The fated lovers meet at the bank. Denise (the pig) drops her change and Dennis (the elephant) picks it up for her.  They exchange an initial glance. It is love at first sight.

Denise is reluctant at first to date Dennis; she has been hurt too many times. Dennis does not give up. He woos her Romeo and Juliet style.

The two go on their first date. Dinner and a movie. Dennis pays.

They share their first kiss under the moonlight.

Their relationship is getting pretty serious. They take their first vacation together.  They went to the big apple.

The lovers go into the tunnel of love. It is there where Dennis gets down on one knee and pops the question. She says yes. He went to Jared after all.

Reverend Duckstep marries the couple. It is precious.

Alas, Dennis and Denise go through some difficult times. Financial problems and petty disagreements strain their relationship. Not to mention they are having difficulties conceiving since they are of different species.

In the end they put their differences aside and live happily ever after.

Hello World!

So last spring when I was signing up for classes, I decided to try out a course on digital photography. I have always liked taking pictures, but it was always just for fun. The only cameras I had ever used were point-and-shoots. I myself had one, but it broke. I wasn't too disappointed though; it was a piece of crap. Anyway, that's when I decided to buy my first DSLR, and I chose the Sony a330.

I started my photography class in the fall. I will admit it started out rough, as I really don’t consider myself an artistic person, but once I got the hang of the techniques I realized that I could in fact take some pretty swell pictures. 


Whatever. Enough with words, here's one of the pictures I took for class.

LD sippin' some mocha.

I don't remember what the assignment was, but my professor liked it. More pics coming soon!
