Day 25 - (Sept. 28, 2008)

I took these pictures using a long exposure and by manually shaking my camera. It's of the lights leading up to my house.

Day 24 - (Sept. 27, 2008)

My friends and I decided not to go to homecoming (cuz frankly it's overpriced and a little lame... sorry) so we had a party-thing at my house. We had a few pumpkins in the kitchen that were lit up and I thought that their glow was really interesting. My sister was standing behind them and I thought that focusing on the pumpkins made the photograph better than focusing on the person.

Day 23 - (Sept. 26, 2008)

So my dad was home this weekend after a trip from China. He brought us back this teaset that I thought looked sweet so I took a picture of it!

Day 22 - (Sept. 25, 2008)

Once again experimenting with long exposures... this time with fire! I lit a match and started lighting a candle with about a 2 or 3 second exposure. Makes for interesting movement!

Day 21 - (Sept. 24, 2008)

I couldn't decide on which picture to use for my project 365, so I just decided to post two! This is my little sister laying on the ground in the light from my bedroom. I thought it looked really mysterious, so I experimented with long exposures, making the picture a little creepy!

Day 20 - (Sept. 23, 2008)

Simple close up of my hand with interesting lighting.

Day 19 - (Sept. 22, 2008)

I didn't have much freetime that day... finishing up a million school projects, so I thought I'd use the mess as my photograph!

Day 18 - (Sept. 21, 2008)

EDITED VERSION ABOVE, ORIGINAL BELOW:

This was taken on the street behind my house around sunset (I was waiting for night to do my nighttime photography!). Just experimenting with long exposures and motion!

Day 17 - (Sept. 20, 2008)

So I finally figured out how to use the self-timer on my camera! I was out taking my sister's senior pictures (we found a spot that was, amazingly, still really green) and I decided to test out the timer!

Day 16 - (Sept. 19, 2008)

This picture is pretty simple, just a close up of a plant on the side of our house. It caught my eye because most of the plant is withering, but there is still one bud at the bottom.

Day 15 - (Sept. 18, 2008)

One of my favorite times of day to take pictures is in the morning, due to the lighting. This is a photograph of my reflection in the car side-mirror.

Day 14 - (Sept. 17, 2008)

I took this in the morning on the way to school. My sister was driving the car and I took a picture of the passing landscape through the window. I thought the sun lighting up the raindrops on the window added an attention-grabbing aspect and an exciting mood.

Day 13 - (Sept. 16, 2008)

This is a picture of a dresser in our main hallway taken during sunset. I actually like how the sun washes out the upper right corner. It caught my eye and inspired me to take this photograph!

Day 12 - (Sept. 15, 2008)

A photograph of some antique books in unique lighting.

Day 11 - (Sept. 14, 2008)

Locked in my house again, because of the weather. So, I took advantage of the rain and used it in my picture!

Day 10 - (Sept. 13, 2008)

As you can probably tell from my other pictures, it's an advantage having sisters as they're always willing to model for you! It was really rainy that day so I spent most of my time inside. I wanted to create an out of the ordinary mood by setting unique lighting, and focusing on the wilting flower in front, while leaving the girl blurry in the background.

Day 9 - (Sept. 12, 2008)

After school on Friday, my sister and I drove out to an old abandoned house on Valley Rd. The house looks really cool and rundown, and the vegetation is all grown-out, so I thought it would make for a curious picture. I had my sister wear one of my old dresses and reach for a window on the side of the building. The whole composition ended up looking really mysterious.

Day 8 - (Sept. 11, 2008)

Our house lights up interestingly when the sun sets, so I had my sister lay on the ground and look up (allowing the sun's rays to hit her eye) and took this picture. I thought it made her eye really attention-grabbing.

Day 7 - (Sept. 10, 2008)

The drama department had an ice cream social, where juniors and seniors had to serve ice cream for new-comers to our school's theatre program. I took this picture of Hanna before everyone arrived, while setting up. I thought having her face out of focus, and having the sunlit branches clear made the photo unique.

Day 6 - (Sept. 9, 2008)

The sun was setting and I thought the light it cast on the piano made for a really interesting picture.

Day 5 - (Sept. 8, 2008)

I was taking some pictures of my sister (in the same construction area from Day 2) with my 35mm camera, but I brought along my digital and wanted to capture similar shots in color.

Day 4 - (Sept. 7, 2008)

I spent my sunday doing mostly homework. I almost forgot to take my photograph for the 365 project, so when I remembered, I pretty much only had energy to photograph what I was doing... studying.

Day 3 - (Sept. 6, 2008)

This is my friend, Hanna, outside of KC's driving school. We had a Behind-The-Wheel that day, and her face pretty much shows our feelings on the whole excursion (we had to listen to country radio the entire time...).

Day 2 - (Sept. 5, 2008)

I took this picture near a construction zone in my subdivision. It's pretty much the only place where nature can be found where I live, so my friend and I took a walk there, and I decided to take a picture of the area lit up by the sun's rays.

Day 1 - (Sept. 4, 2008)

Okay so I'm finally putting up my 365 photos. Here is from day one. I was working on an art project and I wanted to use a painted handprint. I thought that the paint looked cool so I took a picture of it... (I didn't do much that day...)!
