Contact Sheet

A contact sheet is a positive print of a negative. After the rolls of film are developed and cut into strips we make contact sheets to better determine which print one would want to enlarge. These are 2 rolls of film that I developed; I chose one frame from the contact sheet to enlarge. This assignment was vantage point; I think it’s pretty self-explanatory these shot best represent a usual way of looking at a subject. (www.dictionary.com Vantage Point- a position or place that affords a wide or advantageous perspective; viewpoint position or place that affords a wide or advantageous perspective; viewpoint)
Focusing on the sharp lines, rough surface and deep grout lines give this pint a rough look the, little hands soften it with a sense of innocent curiosity.
I really don’t know how to critique this one. I laid down on the ground an other wise unattainable shot. This was my favorite frame in the entire roll of the snail.

Easter

We had a real fun time coloring the eggs, 4 didn’t make it to the end. I honestly don’t get the bunny rabbit and egg thing, let alone hiding the egg. I asked around and everyone I asked doesn’t know what it means either. So, this year we just colored the eggs Sean liked it so much we might have to do this more often, to him (and me) it was just another art project.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I want to send out a little card for St. Patrick’s Day like I did for Valentines Day but I’m not sure I’ll have enough time or motivation, so I’m posting the pictures I took of Sean for this awesome (and adult) day. Be safe and always have a DD.
