Wordless Wednesday: Colorful Weave

Take two copies of the same photo, one bw and one color, cut even strips, and weave. It is that simple.

Forever in Our Hearts

To continue the trip through my "old stuff," I'd like to share a project I made last year to commemorate my grandparents. Every time I visit them I bring along two roses; a pink for Baba and a yellow for Grandpa the Texan. I took the shot, printed it black and white on a transparency and placed it on top of newspaper clippings, which I painted pink and yellow for the flowers. Hope you enjoy!

A Trip Down Memory Lane...

Brought to you by Katney

Last night I went through my portfolio from my high school photography classes. Even though I only graduated last year, I'd somehow forgotten all the great stuff I made. So this week enjoy a taste of my senior year.

One project of ours was to create some type of multi-media collage using an original photo as a background and a variety of other materials. I opted for a photo I shot in the work yard at Alcatraz last year. The odd figures are made up of photos of a couple neighbor girls, my cat, the panda at the zoo and random magazine clippings. Came together as quite an interesting piece, if I do say so myself.

One negative+a lighter=a burnt negative. That is just what this is. I lit one of my negatives on fire, giving it this effect, stuck it in the enlarger and printed it. With a little sepia toner, it all came together.

A Capitol 4th and a Pink Kitty Cat

Yesterday, at about 6 pm, my mama popped her head into my room and said, "Get your stuff, we're going to DC to watch the fireworks." Uh, ok. After an uneventful drive into the city, taking the "Aunt Jo" route, avoiding all tourists, we ended up at the Capitol. With some smooth talking from my mama, we got past the guards and found ourselves a seat on the Capitol steps. What a great way to celebrate Independence Day. Enjoy!

With such a busy day yesterday, swim meet in the morning followed by 4th of July festivities (see above), I had no time to post. Enjoy my day-late Photo Hunt post, hosted by tnchick.

One Blue Sky: Skywatch Friday

As part of Skywatch Friday, hosted by kjpweb, take a gander at a beautiful summer DC sky.

Three, two, one...take off!

Happy Birthday, Lady Liberty

In celebration of the upcoming 4th of July, I've decided to post photos from last year's celebration as part of the Thursday Challenge hosted by Dale at Spun with Tears. Every summer at the neighborhood pool, the lifeguards join together for a day full games and prizes for the little cherubs. Everyone gets into the spirit and you should, too, this 4th of July!

Bullet to the Heart- Wordless Wednesday

I took this shot last year when in San Fran for the Dia de Los Muertos in the Mission District. If you couldn't tell, this is a remembrance ribbon made out of bullets. It was part of a shrine remembering those lost in the Iraq War.

Always Remembered, Never Forgotten.
