So far this year, I have spent most of my time in my advanced photo class in the darkroom and the following are results of that work.
Our first assigned roll was a roll of our choice. It could contain any subject we wanted. I had to be at school on a Saturday for SAT prep class anyway, so I took my camera to class with me, planning to take photos after the class. When class was dismissed, I wandered over to the sand volleyball pit and took a picture of the
drinking fountain next to it. Then I wandered over to
tenis courts and took a photo of that. I took a few more photos in that area and walked down by the boys dorm, where I took a photo of the
chains on the wooden bridge down there. On my way out of campus, I found some neat
shadowy stairs.
Our second roll of film was chronicling an event during Spirit Week. I chose the Powder Puff Finals. The game began with the Senior girls in a
huddle in hopes to intimidate the Junior girls with their power. Later in the game, a student coach was going over the
game plan. The girls could sit on this
bench if they wanted to, but no one did.
And, finally, our third roll for the year was our homage project. We were to choose a photograph we like and emulate it. I really liked the beauty and simplicity of Ansel Adam's "Oak Tree Sunrise" and after much searching, I found a
tree to photograph. Here's a
vertical shot of that tree.
