The unseen

My first attempt of the unseen. A close up of an object which isn't really your everyday item unless you have the same job I do. At another angle it is easily identifiable 

A far away picture with chrome filter. Something pretty and most likely unappreciated found in Caldwell; unseen.

What Photographs Inspire Me

The creative eye. I stumbled upon bathroom graffiti I had some appreciation for. A hook for clothes was transformed into 3D art. I found this both hilarious and creative both aspects I have appreciation for.

Years of <3. When I was about nine years old I noticed a sign on the road on the way home from my summer house. The sign said 9 Years <3 Kelly. The next year on the way home I looked for the sign again on my way home and the sign had changed. This year it said 10 years <3 Kelly. Each age that I am the sign will say. I do not know who this sign is for and who is its sponsor. I will forever pretend that it is for me.

A stroll at work. On my last day of work for the season as an ocean lifeguard this photograph was snapped. Knowing it was my last day my bosses allowed me to get away playing around on the beach. The job is very physically demanding and 50 hours each week are dedicated to it. At the same time I get payed to hangout and do my favorite things on the beach. This picture captures the end of the day, the end of the season I was walking back to my beach. While leaving your beach and walking are not typically allowed, this pictures reminded me of how my job often is laid back and I am getting paid for this.

A helping hand. This picture is of my dad and my brother helping me walk. I liked that although my dad is able to help me alone my brother still is.

Unlikely friends

Tolerant pet. Our dog allows us to dress him up and take pictures of him. He does not mind when we fool around with him.

A family relationship. My brothers were told to kiss me in this picture. Three closer to my age would not do that for a picture. The other two much younger than me have a different relationship with me because of the age gap.

Why I am taking this class

Cell phone photography is an unexpected class for me to take. I rarely take pictures, and when I do I keep the pictures on my phone, never to be uploaded or shared. I only seem to take pictures of moments I find funny. I would like to begin to capture more moments. I like having pictures but never think to take out my camera. I am terrible at editing photos and optimizing the beauty of a scene. I hope to begin to take more pictures of friends, family, events and nature. I am not one to stop a situation to have people pose for a picture but if I could learn to take good action shots of what is going on, I believe that will be a skill many will appreciate.
