Edward Weston:  Edward Henry Weston was a 20th-century American photographer born  March 24, 1886, in HighLand Park IL.  Weston has been labeled as one of the most influential  and innovative photographers in America. Weston specialized in making vegetables  and fruits the star of the photos. Weston was especially good at creating multiple dynamics within a single  photo by using off shaped fruits, or perfect vegetables. In this assignment Mr. Worrell asked us to produce the same theme as Weston, by making the food the "hero" of the shot. We made a collection of four photos with three black & white and one in color. I enjoyed this assignment due to the fact that fruits and vegetables come in all different shapes and sizes giving this assignment a variety of complex ideas and shots. 

This project asked us to create a day in the life video. A minute for school life and a minute for home life. I took my home photos over winter break featuring my dog, baby cousin, athletic activity, and food. The classical balance of cute and action blends to create a dynamic optimal for the home scenes.  My school scenes showcased my peers and the spaces of my classes. Going to each class I took a shot of one or more of my friends to envelope the feeling of camaraderie. Overall, I enjoy my slideshow I timed the transitions of the slides well with the music. The music I chose gives an upbeat and joyful feeling, which is an aspect I look to express throughout my slide Link to Day In the Life Video:  https://vimeo.com/387292059/97038e1075
