College Life

Hey Everyone! So lots of people have told me that they would love for me to keep them updated while going through college, I though about doing what LDS Missionaries do, and sending out emails every so often, but one of my friends has decided to do a weekly blog update for her mission, which I loved, so I'm copying her idea and and will blog about my college experience. Once I leave for college, I will probably update this here blog, once a week on Sunday nights at the end of the week. There may be weeks I don't update, if that's the case, just know that ether A) I'm really busy or B) I had an event-less week and there's nothing exciting to talk about. But I do promise to try and update you all often.

The real updating probably wont happen until I leave and head out to the campus but there may be a few updates along the way before I leave for the campus. Things like getting dorm stuff and... well that's all I can really think of at the minute but as I do things along the way that relate to college, I will update you all here. 

Consider this like a public journal about college specifically. I know that I have a lot of friends that are curious about college and how to get accepted and what to do after getting accepted before actually starting class (yes there is actually a lot to do after acceptance. The application is surprisingly the easy part of college.). Feel free to take the things that I am learning/ have learned and use them to better your experience with college admissions and getting started. 

Stay tuned!

Still Life and Movement


My Price Will Come
Pahrump, Nv.
This is a picture of a glass figurine I got when I was about 6. It has always been my favorite thing I own so I felt it would make a good photo for the still life shot.


German Christmas
Pahrump, Nv.
This is a snow globe my aunt bought me from Germany. This is what really got me and my family into embracing our heritage and celebrating Christmas the German way.



A Cold Run
Pahrump, Nv
Talking about movement in class this is a picture I got of my sister. It demonstrates movement.

Photography Finals







Personal Photo Shoot
Pahrump, Nevada
I took these photos in my bedroom. All the editing I did was, color enhancement and cropping. These are some of my favorite pictures of myself that I have ever taken. Better than any selfie in the mirror. I am so grateful to have been given this challenge to take self portraits instead of selfies.

Photo Manipulation

              

                   

I Love to See the Temple
St. George, Utah
For this photo I cropped it and messed with the lighting. I love the original picture but the colors seen in the  edit. It almost makes it look like the lights were changed for the Christmas season.

                       

Sunset, Real or Not Real?
Pahrump, Nv.
The one on the right is an edit for sure, I cropped it, edited the colors, and edited out some of trees and the flag pole on top of some of the houses. I also altered the exposure.


Na, Na ,Na, Na, Na, ANT MAN!
Pahrump, Nv.
I like this edit because its so odd. As you can see I can draw shadows, But any way the link to the photo of Ant Man that I cropped was pulled from the internet, just by searching "Antman".
