Colora) This photo is of a purple vase of yellow flowers in the 700s wing. b) The color is shown in the vase and flowers. c) This photograph is successful because the color of the vase and flowers contrast with the dull gray color of the ground. Shapea) This photo is a worm's eye view of a basketball hoop on our campus. b) The shape is shown in the roundness of the hoop. c) This photograph is successful because it shows an angle of the hoop that you don't see it from. The angle shows the hoop's circular shape in a very interesting way. Texturea) This photo is of the turf on our school's football field.
b) The texture is shown in the turf itself. c) This photograph is successful because when you look at the turf you can feel the prickly yet soft texture of it.

Elements of Photography -The “building block” of design -All good design will have one or more of these elements; line, color, shape, form, texture, space, and value -Line
This Photo is an example of the element line because it leads your eyes around the buildings. It makes the buildings very urbanesque. -Color
This photograph represents a very warm color scheme. Skoglund is known for her very colorful photographs and interesting setups. -Shape Organic Shape: a shape made by nature. Not completely defined Inorganic Shape: manmade- such as triangles and rectangle 1) In order to take the photos, I set the camera to shutter priority and set the shutter speed to 1/1,000th of a second. This makes any moving object appear completely frozen.
2) Some struggles that I faced were taking some of the pictures at just barely the wrong time. For example, when taking pictures of the cards, I would sometimes take the picture barely too early and the cards would still be stuck together and not be strewn about. 3) What I learned: a) Even the water that was moving at pretty significant speeds was able to be frozen with a fast shutter speed. b) The faster the shutter speed, the more the object appears to be frozen. c) When taking pictures of popping water balloons, if taken at the right moment can appear to be just water floating in mid air in the perfect formation of the water balloon. My photo is of a couple of classmates holding a piece of paper at about knee-level that says “ALL LIVES MATTER”. The photo is relatively self explanatory, I truly believe that all lives do matter. I don’t care what religion, race, gender, or sexuality you are. The world needs to take a step back and look at the damages that have come due to discrimination, specifically racism. I know it is a repeated topic, but the recent riots and cases of police brutality and even instances where a civilian deliberately injured or killed an officer of the law have been largely omitted because of recent discrimination between American citizens. I understand where people are coming from when they say that it is an issue that needs to be mitigated, but the fact of the matter is that you can’t get rid of racism. Racism always has been, and always will be around, no matter what we do to attempt to stop it. There is a saying that I have come to love and have based not only my athletic life, but my personal life as well. The saying goes “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach there ever was, but there will always be someone who hates peaches.” Racism is a very huge topic in America, but unfortunately it will never be resolved. I couldn’t tell you how to help it at all because every solution has a counter that is just as powerful and effective. All I know is it’s a tough world we live in, and despite what other people say or think, I’m going to be the most delicious damn peach I can be.
