Final Project

This is my little brother Malachi, who is very difficult to take pictures of.  Not because he's autistic, but because he knows the camera is there! It doesn't matter what I do or what I tell him, he sees the camera. But one moment he's asking for me to take a picture, and the other he tells me I'm driving him nuts and to leave him alone.  But either way, each of these pictures shows you just who my little brother really is.  A big personality in a tiny container. :)

Assignment #6: Black and White Portraits

Someone I Don't Know:

My little brother's friend.  I had my camera on Easter Sunday at the park with my family and some friends taking pictures of boring ducks.  This little guy wouldn't leave me alone until I'd taken a picture of the stick in his hand, witch he is enraptured with in this photo. Or annoyed at me for not taking the picture sooner. I can't tell which.

Someone I Know:

My Dad.  I kept trying to take a picture of him, and he would put the cracker in front of his face. Then he thought he was being smart when he made a face and ate it. But I took the picture quickly enough to get that face, and for it to be in focus. Victory.

I learned from this assignment that black and white photos can have just as much emotion and animation in them as color photos. Almost more so, because the colors aren't distracting from your subject.
