Downtown Portland Photography (Project 1)

The subject I chose was, buildings. I took these four photos at Director's Park in downtown Portland.  I went and found different kinds of interesting buildings that had a unique/different look to them. I decided to add brightness and take away brightness for some of them. I wanted some to look somewhat vintage/black and white and the others I wanted to make the colors pop just to add a different taste to it.

The second subject I chose was, designs that I found on walls in Portland. I wanted to take pictures of different angles and make the design really stand out. I decided to use HDR with a lower brightness in some of the pictures and then I added a somewhat dramatic effect to the rest.

My Summer

This summer I went to Boston Massachusetts for a week. I love the east coast so it was a lot of fun being able to be there. I saw some great universities while I was there like, Harvard and M.I.T. It was a really inspiring experience for me. I also went to a Red Sox baseball game at Fenway park, which was a lot of fun. When I got back to Portland I just hung out with friends and enjoyed the summer weather.

In July, my family decided to go to Los Angeles for a month to visit family. The second week that i was there, we stayed at a beach house in Oxnard, California and were pretty much hanging out at the beach the entire time. i met some really great people and enjoyed the trip a lot. 

In August, my friends invited me on a camping trip for the weekend before school started. I've always loved camping so it was fun and a very relaxing trip.
