Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza

So, we "carved" pumpkins. And attempted to make it look three dimensional. This is what I ended up coming up with...I believe there was a very funky candle in my pumpkin because the glowy lighting looks somewhat strange.

WEB ASSIGNMENT #4

1. Who was Alfred Stieglitz and why is he noteworthy in the history of photography?
2. Choose a photograph he made, upload it to your blog, and explain why you chose it as your favorite by him.
3. With what famous painter was he in a relationship? Who was she?  Upload a painting by her that you like.

1) Alfred Stiegletz was an American photographer. He is noteworthy because he helped to make photography a Modern art!

2)this is a photo by Stiegletz, I chose it as my favorite, because I like the different stories you could make up from this image with the way the boats are formed and oriented, the  way the water and the houses meet. Its a beautiful image.

3) He was in a relationship with Georgia O'Keefe, who was an American painter, best known for her floral paintings, and her southwestern landscapes.I like this picture because of the different textures and the ways the colors go together.

The "Mary Poppins" like photo :)

With this picture I had to get as low as I could on the ground while he jumped to create the illusion that he is floating or flying away.

Macro Images

 While I was taking these photos I was looking at how I could manipulate the shape, and how the color would turn out. I was looking at the vibrance of the colors and the different ways they would reflect. The different ways lines and shapes crossed each other. The water droplets on the Rose and Pumpkin looked so beautiful that I felt I had to try to capture the way that they complimented the object.
