Written assignment #12a
The photos I took for the second assignment were of a church that my brother was married in over 20 years ago and Sparty and the Wharton Center on campus because I am graduating this year. My goal with the church was to capture the age of the building as well as to symbolize my beliefs. After a difficult year I have realized that faith is an essential part of who I am and what I need to get me through both good and bad times. Additionally, my father had not passed away yet and I have photos of him standing in front of this church with my brother that are very dear to me.
The pictures of Sparty are representative of the efforts I have made to finally get to this spot, graduation in 3 short months. I have traveled a different path than most students and the most important path along this journey was raising my 2 daughters. This is fulfilling to me because they both know that I’ve worked hard to be a good mom as well as to continue improving who I am. It has also given me a great pride in taking a bad situation (last year) and creating something positive out of it. I will mat and frame Sparty, along with my diploma and show them with pride after graduation. I shot the Wharton Center because I liked the lines of the building and the reflection it gave off of the trees in front of it.
For these photos I used mostly aperture and shutter speed because it was snowing and the sky was drab so there wasn’t good light to work with. I was able to use the white snow bouncing off the objects and creating the light I felt I needed to get good photos so didn‘t need flash for any of the shots.
