Year in Review: 2013

Best Photos 2013:

I love this photo because this father's boredom and fun with his newborn.The composure is perfect for seeing both faces. The lighting isn't perfect though.

This photo was absolutely sweet! Protesters against the government hand security guards roses. The composure is perfect. Shooting through the barb wire was a great idea.

This photo is really sharp and I love all the action and colors. Islamic activists torched police cars and bikes. The composition by shooting from the side of the cars was perfect to see the action.

Favorites:

Best song
Fall Out Boy came back with their album "Save Rock and Roll"

Best Movie
"We're The Millers" was so damn hilarious. Even my mom thought so.

Biggest Story
Pope Francis came into view as a peace offering idol.

Important Person
The entire world celebrated the life of Nelson Mandela when he passed.

Biggest Entertainment
I don't think anyone can deny Miley was huge in publicity this year.

My Holiday and Hopes for 2014:

   This Christmas break I spent the entire time surrounded by my family(that can be good and bad, but mostly good). My resolutions is to become a stronger person.  I look forward to my senior year and getting my license.

Self Portrait and Portraits

Tips: 
You may want to make photographs of people going about their business—vendors in a market, a crowd at a sports event, the line at a theater. You don't want them to appear aware of the camera. 
What really got me going was thinking about what I own and how I could use it in a photo. Now I am not just talking about props, but I am talking about features also. One of my prominent features is my bald head. So could I work that to my advantage? 
A self-portrait doesn't have to be of your face—the image of two hands holding a camera says a lot about the photographer who shot his own portrait. You can also aim the camera down your body from eye level. 

Environmental Portraits:



I chose these portraits because they really tell you something personal about the subjects.

Casual Portraits:



I chose these photos because they are either posed or off guard.

Formal Portraits:



I chose these portraits because they are well posed and have good lighting.

Self Portraits:



I chose these because they are well in focus and have a clear subject with a theme.


Planning Ahead:
I think I will shoot me or a family member in my home or around it or at some train tracks by my home. I will use different angles and clothes/props to make it successful.
