Project Proposal

For my project I wanted to do something like a photo diary where I would take a picture of what I was doing that day or of a picture relating to the thoughts I was thinking at the time. I was kind of inspired of Jim Brandenburg when he took the 90 days picture. But instead of just taking one picture I think I'll take a few each day and see which one I like the most and pick just one out of the bunch to represent my thoughts or feelings that day. And maybe once a week I'll blog 7 pictures and give a short explanation to them or something! That would be cool. Since my subject is broad it will give me a chance to be able to take pictures of all kinds of things but also represent my personality through my blog. I also got the idea from when I uploading pictures from my phone and I noticed that it was kind of like documenting my everyday life and I liked that idea. The difference was that I'll be using a better quality camera this time around. The reason why I wanted to do this is to document my life to show who i am in an intimate manner to strangers and through photographs they get to know me as a person.

My 10 lightroom pictures! :)

Annie Leibovitz 1 & 2

Annie Leibovitz is a famous photographer with works shown in famous magazines and photography with famous people. Her work could be considered a timeline of America's culture and history. She has been taking pictures her whole life and got started with the Rolling Stones. I felt really surprised that I didn't know who she was until this video and slightly ashamed because her work is so great. I got really inspired by her devotion, talent and hard work and you can see it in her work. Prior to seeing this movie about her, I always preferred to take pictures of inanimate objects or landscape pictures, but afterwards, it made me want to try taking pictures of people.
