everyday objects

This is a series of everyday objects that I have abstracted to make the mundane more interesting. I have posted some of these photographs before, but I wanted to put more of the series up. I may be extending this project and see what direction I might go in next, so I have been thinking about this group of work a lot. I always seem to go back to this series because it is the most exciting for me and have found a great admiration for abstract photography. This is something I find the most thrilling in photography. I am hoping this will maybe get me somewhere in the long run if I keep working at it,we will have to see. . .

So, my new years resolution is to update my blog every week. . .starting now!

This shoot is from a photo adventure I went on with my cousin Alyssa and our friend Nikita. The ones that I am putting up today are of Alyssa, and I am still working on the ones of Nikita. It was freezing out when we went hence the layers and fluffy hats, but we still had a good time! We have to go back when we aren't freezing our little butts off!

Goob

This is a sub chapter of a series that I decided to do on the graffiti that is seen around Normal, IL. I chose to focus on the small graffiti that expresses more and are not always easily seen. On a quest to find these small graffiti treasures, I kept coming across "goob", which by the time I had found more than 5 of them, I needed to know who this was. Luckily, one of my friends knew who Goob was, so I got the chance to meet and interview Goob which was very excitng! After meeting with Goob I seemed to find more of his art around town (which became like an exciting game of easter egg hunting) so it kind of molded into this sub chapter of this series. Enjoy!

I have other non-goob graffiti which I will post at a later date.

Mackinaw Island

My boyfriend and I took a little vacation to Mackinaw Island in Michigan. It was so cute and quaint there it was hard not to take a lot of photographs. These are just a few, I have more to put up a little later.

Mom's Garden

My Mom has the prettiest gardens!

Sunsets

I can't help but chase sunsets sometimes! I was just experimenting with my new camera and thought this was too beautiful to pass up.

Frankfort Fest 2009

These are some of my favorite! I took these with a medium format camera at Frankforst Fest 2009. I love photos of carnivals and fests so I was excited to be able to go and use the medium format camera I had at the time.
