Belong to the Ocean



There is a place in this world where we all belong

Where we can be as free as the wind and as reckless as the waves

We could sleep on the sand and walk the shores

Where the water will love us and we will care for it

Where we can swim forever into the depths of the sea

And explore the places where people have never been

And share secrets with the coves and have a family of miles of seawater

See creatures of other worlds and beautiful kelp forests

That’s where I would be forever and ever

I wish I could be there, live there

Soon I will be at the sea and live with the 
Creatures

Soon that will happen


Madison Sanchez

Where we can swim forever into the depths of the sea
and explore places where people have never been

Photo Narrative

I chose this picture because of the sense of adventure. The bright colors and wilderness in the background all contribute to the feeling of freedom of this man jumping into the lake. Everything in this photograph is crisp and clear, it is a sunny day and expresses optimism.

Photogram Reflection

I thought that the Valentine's day photogram fundraiser was very successful for such short notice. The signs and props made for the pictures were my favorite part, and I think that people really enjoyed getting these pictures taken. I went during lunch to take pictures of people, and edited a photo onto one of the backgrounds, and it ended up looking really good. This activity gave me experience in editing pictures with photoshop, and I learned a lot about using the lassoing tool. I think that another fundraiser would be more successful if we advertised it for a few weeks prior to it.

Project 3: Composition

This collection of pictures were all taken from different places. One of my favorite factors to use when photographing things is the sun. I think that the sun adds a sense of warmth, especially the way that it reflects off clouds and creates colors. My favorite of these pictures is the one of the road, because of the angle and the lines of the road leading out to the sky.

I chose to do this series of photographs at a playground. I love the variety of colors and interesting objects there are to photograph, especially going there at sunset. My personal favorite photo is number four with the hand rings, because it perfectly captures the sunlight against the rings, making a silhouette. I like the way that the line of the bar above it curves across the picture and draws your eye along its length. If i were to do this project over again, i would probably have gone to several locations instead of just one to get more ideas. Problems that i ran into were getting pictures without families or children playing in them, and in avoiding them i didn't have the time i would like to take to get the right angle  or focus at times. Next time, i would also like to use my film camera and take the photos to be developed.
