Can I just start off by saying how some things in life just get me going-- in a good way.
As a High School, we venture off to a camp called, Li-Lo-Li. It's purpose is to purely have the high school grow as a group socially and spiritually. Even though its only an overnight, the past few years have made the weekend feel as if I have sent to a concentration camp-- yes, that is a slight exaggeration. Anyway, this year, however, was different; something just "clicked" with the classes and it was just SO much fun!! We bonded as a class-- I started talking to a few people who I haven't even acknowledge (and them, me) in years!! So it was quite excited. The one thing that is relevant to this particular article is the fact of the specific hike that a few of us students and teachers ventured. The Journalism team was in charge of taking pictures of the various events so that they could be submitted for the yearbook. The Journalism teacher and Photo Editor went on the hike and let me snap a few photos for the yearbook.
Not all pictures are posted, because some are either confidential to the yearbook or not yet posted.
This is Rachael. A friend of mine and the picture is rather self-explanatory....This picture shows what we call positive and negative space. Usually, a normal person would look at this and throw this picture away when the file was developed. However, from an artistic P.O.V. (point of view) this is an excellent example of + and -- space. It is obvious that the "main action" is on the right hand side, (positive space) and the rest is all empty (negative space). This is a perfect "in action" shot because of this "imbalance" and is a decent picture from this artistic mindset.
This is probably one of my favorites-- it combines, humor, color, and overall fun!! Although this is a candid picture, I love it for its simplicity and overall wholeness. We got lost on our hike (go figure) so we stopped and snapped a few photos.
This is another one of those examples of positive and negative space type of things. Breanne--- laughing her head off (As usual) =] She later started snorting....and if you know anything about Breanne...well, she has quite the snort!! =D
I really wish I had the extra funds for a really nice camera...One almost a step (or a few steps) up from the average digital camera. Oh well, in time I guess....My pure indulgence hobbie would definitely be photography. If I had a good camera, I would love to do photography on the side. We will see I guess; maybe someday!! Well, gotta run, Juniors are very, VERY busy people!!
Yours,
Josh
