Valedictory

My project is about the over looked beauty of the world. I choose to take pictures of things that people see everyday and overlook because they're so used to seeing them. In reality everywhere on this Earth is beautiful and just because we see certain things every day doesn't mean that they aren't beautiful. Just because you see things a lot doesn't mean you should overlook the beauty in them. This is why I choose to do my valedictory project on the unexpected beauty of the world. I feel as though the Earth has been overlooked recently and the more superficial things have become more important. This project was meant to show the beauty of the world around us, even the things that are right in front of our face everyday.  

Valedictory Progress Check

My concentration for this project is finding the over looked beauty in the everyday world around us. I think that the most prominently beautiful things in the world are the things that we see everyday, the things that most people take for granted because they're around all the time. Like appreciating the beauty in nature, architecture, even inanimate objects that most people would just walk right by without appreciating. I'm taking a lot of pictures near main roads,  in and around CV, and the surroundings. I want to show that even if people don't think it's beautiful that there is beauty in even the simplest places. To prepare for this project I did research on how to take a panorama with an HDR camera and what ways to edit them that look the best.

Surrealism Finals

I really enjoyed this surrealism project. The pictures look good and have a deeper meaning which makes them better in turn for me. The pictures I did of myself portray me as a sort of mean, off standing girl who doesn't care much about anything. However, the inward aspect of me is that I love making art and spending time outside and with my friends. Maddie's perception of her outward self is quiet and shy, but once you get to know the real her she is all about her friends and the next journey she can go on. All of these pictures reflect the stereotypes that Maddie and 

I face along with the definition we have for ourselves. I really love these and I found it really challenging picking my favorites, or even stopping the editing process to choose my favorites at all!
