Tell me a Story

I was your average 9 year old third grader, but that all changed when I had to get braces. I had a terrible over bite and it wasn't going to go away by itself.  My mom took me to a orthodontics office and they put me in this dark room and took pictures of my mouth. About a month later I went back to the office and they started the torture treatment. I was sat down on a big chair and the poked and jabbed at my teeth until they started to put on the braces.  When they went on I felt like I had an alien in my mouth. It was torture. My whole mouth hurt and I could not chew on anything. The night of getting my braces on was the worst and the best, because I couldn't eat very much dinner, but for dessert I got chocolate covered brownies! YUM!! All in all they were okay, I had them on for 11 months and they turned out okay in the end.

Dull Day


The reason I chose this artwork as my best is because I love the angle that this shot has and the coloring of it. I think this photo was successful because of the hint of happiness that is has, as she is smiling in to the distance.  If I were to expand on this artwork a little more, I would probably do more to capture images in this angle and style.







Bright and Sunny Day



I chose this artwork because it shows contrast really well. The photo is really sharp and crisp, it also has a little bit of sun rays on the tip  of the seed packets. I feel that this artwork is the most successful because of the angle and the shot itself is well layed out. If I were to expand on this type of picture I would do more pictures with this same theme of colors and lighting effects.



Watery Sunset

I chose this artwork as one of my best because it has nice silhouettes of the people in the water, and it also has a soft ripple in the water because of the moving. The sunset brings in some nice colors and it is not such a hard color, but it has nice movement to it. If I were to expand on this artwork more, I think I would try to get more angles and different actions for the people, and maybe try to get more colors with the sunset.
