NYC

Me, My Brother and My Sister in "New York" aka Lake Sis photoshopped.

In class we watched a video. This video should different parts of world using music. It was a different taste than what i would chose for a "movie night." i really didn't like it because i didn't know what the idea was i don't think i grasped the idea of the movie. i thought it would be a cool background video for a photography showing or something. i liked the scenes but i think i could of used something more. i don't really understand the video. i also felt bad for my shadow because she wanted to see a photography class but instead saw a movie she didn't understand. it was an interesting movie but i didn't really understand why i was watching.

On Fire Nor Cal Jam 2010

October 16, 2010 i was set "On Fire" it was the LARGEST gathering of Catholic Youth in NorCal history. with concerts, keynotes, rides, animals, old friends, Jesus, God and The Holy Spirit.

this is shouka. i shot this on a preset setting nothing special just a lot of luck in capturing it!

this is matt maher's drummer. this was really early in the morning, but not stopping his energy! :]

tthis Mike, Jeff and Ruben singing at the concert "Light meets the Dark" they are 3/5 of tenth avenue north a Christian Rock/Indie band. they are so amazing! i got the chance to high five Mike when he walked into the stands during one of my favorite songs Hold My Heart.

Addison Road playing at sunset they were great and full of energy even in the cold wind on the water!

Matt Maher (his band) and Sarah Hart (on piano) they played the mass portion of the day. and did a concert at night.

self portraits.

This is me a person, short and odd. i was always rideculed as the short weird peron in elementry school...so im embraced it when i grew and i chose this beause it think it gave it more because you cant see if im happy with this label or dissapointed and sometimes i dont know.

this is me at "home" when i feel the most home is when im a child with my cousin and we were messing around at Webb Ranch and i sat on a big tractor like all the little kids. it explains me with my family.

this is me out to dinner with my friends. im generally the jokester and a common dialogue with my friends is "Hey guys lets go do *insert crazy thing*" and about 20 minutes later, "oh that was a bad plan." my friends really need to stop listening to me, dont they?

photo essay. Gymnastics Stills.

Gymnastics Still

This is a gymnast walking on Relevé on a low beam I like this picture because the gymnast, Olivia (development) was having a difficult time staying on Relevé and finally got it. She was very proud of herself and i caught this moment on camera.

This is a beginner gymnast, Reagan, she is practicing a skill that seems useless but really is important it is a frezze. this was hard because her teacher was pushing her over to help lock herself.

This is olivia practing leg lifts. this was an intresting exercise to shot because she was on a cheese mat that brought negative attetion to her leo because of the color contrast.

This is olivia, who wasn't suppose look at the camera but i caught her looking and really liked the shot.

This is Reagan she was listening to her Teacher explain the exercise I like the focus in this picture.

This is Olivia doing a Leg lift on the bar. Olivia was getting instruction from Kat, her coach and had a strong emotion on her face

This is Olivia Doing a L-lift. The chalk on the bar and her hands show unity.

This is Olivia practicing her Round-offs .I really like the movement in her pony tail.

Food Photography:
-Let sit.
-Use oil
-Show low
-Use mirrors

Sports Photography.
Sports Photography involves quick shutters and long lenses. To capture photos that properly show the sport patients is very important. A 100mm lens is about 10 yards in. Background noise is an issue for action. Capturing emotion is very important to give details. A bay area sports photographer that takes pictures based in the Bay is Brad Mangin, he truly understands capturing emotion. Check out his work here! http://www.manginphotography.com/

photojournalism.

this photo is not credited on the sight i found. it was a blogspot explaining types of photography. the scene is a wedding, it may not be important to the world but to them. this photo is framed a little off center but focusing on the couple and slightly focusing on the minister. it is an important focus because it shows the emotion on their face. **Correction: this was found again on another site and the author is credited as Clay Jackson.**

this picture is taken of a baseball player in Danville. also taken by Clay Jackson. The scene is a baseball game. the event is a game. this would be an important event in any athlete's life. the emphasis is on the baseball player. and he is framed in the center. the impact is the emotion it could be happy or disappointed.

this is a women visiting a grave of a fallen solider. it is framed so you see alot of the graveyard. the mood is dark and sad. i think this picture could of been better emphasized if it was put in black and white, but being photojournalism the picture should not be altered.

this is a wedding, this is i assume a flowergirl. the mood in the picture is bright and happy. it is framed showing unity in the background. i think it better emphasize her and her emotion.

Bangor Abbey Summer 2010

this is by pelaez photo. this scene is bridemaids helping their friend the mood in this picture is calm though a wedding can be stressful. it doesnt catch their prettiest moment but maybe their best. the framing is really interesting. i think it adds a little more to this picture.
