My Convential Photography
This is the second addition to my first post. These are the convential photographers of the project. This part of the assignment was to take pictures with a convential, meaning a camera with film and then scan 5 pictures for your blog. The following are my 5 convential pictures.
This is the first picture in my convential photo series. For my convential photos I did not edit them at all. My teammate, Uchenna served as my model for this picture. When we were walking around Gallery Place Downtown DC finding things for Uchenna to photograph for her citylife theme, we saw this sculpture. It is a large multicolored metal scultpture that sits outside a popular downtwon restuarant. I thought that if Uchenna went inside the sculpture and posed it would fit ever nicely in my photoseries. We took may tries of this picture and this is my favorite take.She is peeking out of the sculpture as if she knows she is a person in a strange place.
This is the second picture in my series. While still downtown Uchenna chose to go to Freedom Plaza and take most of her pictures. There, were these large pots with plants inside. I wanted Uchenna to go inside and just stand as if it were normal for her to be resting inside a large plant pot. This picture has a very beautiful light because of the time of day when they were taken. The sun was beginning to set so the pictures get a very cozy yellowish tint on all of them. To me, it gives them an intimate feeling and a innocent look that makes the content of my pictures even funnier.
This is the third picture in my convential photo series. This is also taken in Freedom Plaza. It is a very popular place downtown for people to skateboard and sit when it is nice outside. This day was very sunny and only had a slight breeze making it a really nice day to take pictures outside. All around Freedom Plaza are these trees that have these benches all around them perfect for sitting on a day like this one. For this picture I wanted Uchenna and Stacia to sit on the inside of the ring and sit backwards on the benches. This picture is ironic, clever and has very pretty light. Uchenna and Stacias placing is strategic and adds to the mood of this picture.
This is the fourth photo of my convential photo series. This picture is probably my favorite picture of my series. It is the funniest and most charming, I believe. Stacia, my model, was very willing to make this photo as amazing as possible. I had the idea for someone to be inside a trashcan, talking on the phone as if it were a normal seat. Stacia complied with my vision and happy sat inside this trashcan. THe photo is very funny for many reasons. One the actual trashcan part is next to Stacia showing the lengths she actually had to go through to chose this as her resting place. Then there is the fact that she on the phone and smiling. All of these elements make this photo very cheeky and fit perfectly in my theme.
This is the last picture in my convential photo series. In this photo Stacia has placed herself inside a bicycle rack. I posed Stacia in this picture so her arm would be in an actual bike lock and she could be sitting in the rack, purposedly trappded. But once I got ready to take the picture Stacia lifted her foot, blocking her arm in the lock. But her position and smile make up for her blocking the lock. My theme was an odd one to create photos for and it became difficult to find places and ways to create thought provoking, funny and charming pictures. The bike rack came at a great time because it was a refreshing idea and created a funny picture.

I really like these pictures as well. I think that they are classic moments and they are funny and have life in them. You can also see a huge difference between these and the digital photos.

I like your picture Deirdre, They were quite interesting. The places in which you chose for your subjects were quite different. Your photos provoke humor and wonder. Good job!
