My Self Portrait

Out of the photographers you listed I really liked Arno Minkkinen. His photos are very different from what you'd see today in my opinion. His portraiture all include nudity. And in today's photography I think that is one of the most left out things. However, Minkkinen seems to really emphasize this nudity in a creative and interesting way to help show the beauty of the human body.
I also enjoyed Francesca Woddman's portraiture. I noticed in a lot of her portraits there were interesting backgrounds that stood out to me. It wasn't just a plain white background. Some had texture and some had scenarios.
The other photographer I enjoyed was Cindy Sherman. I think her portraits are more modern but I noticed that in most of her photos the subjects have an interesting facial expression. Some photographers use different poses but Sherman seemed to have the subject do something unique with their face. I like that aspect and I think it can provide a different feel to the picture.

This is my sink, something I use at night before I got to bed. I like this pic mainly because the water is frozen in motion. I also like the way the stainless steel really sticks out.

This is a camera I use in school and I think it fits in the category of technology because on the inside of a camera there are just so many parts that all play a role in capturing an image. And technology in my mind means  many little things put together to make something large.

I took this pic of my friend's bonfire the other night. I think it fits nicely in the category of revenge. Fire is normally a fierce subject which made it remind me of revenge.

I forgot about this pic

This painting I think could be easily transcribed into a photograph, simply because the pose is fairly simple and could be captured nicely on camera. Colin Frangicetto, who painted this gives his paintings different aspects compared to other painters. He often paints humans, and when he does so he gives them very colorful skin all while telling a love story. I really like the painting and it has inspired me to try and tell a love story through my photography.

I really love this photo because it is so mysterious. I, personally, have always wanted to take a picture like this but it seems so hard to capture. Anyway, the picture includes this great yellowy color with some fog that helps give the picture more depth. I'm sure some editing was involved in this picture but it is very beautiful nonetheless.

^ In this image there is a lot of symmetry which is why I liked it. The trees on both sides of the road really make it symmetrical and very interesting. I am also a fan of using lines when it comes to photography. That is another reason why I love this photo. The side of the road has continuous lines that continue onward and the viewer never gets to see where the road ends which makes the picture even more interesting.

This picture in my opinion is very creative. It combines a natural feeling with a decayed feeling. The natural feeling is obviously the foliage in the background and the decayed feeling is the rusted bike. What's interesting about this picture is that the bike is actually stuck in the tree. Overall, the colors compliment each other well and the picture has some great texture.

^ I really enjoy that picture mainly because of the colors. It has this bluish tint to it that really makes the photograph stand out. I also really enjoy the beams of light that were coming through the trees.It gave the picture more detail.
