Grouping

I chose these three images from my original ten to be grouped together because in every image I am using a reflection to capture a self-portrait. The top image is the floor of my bathroom, then a mixing bowl and lastly the faucet. The last two images I think work better together than all three because they share more characteristics such as the silver color of the objects and the fact that there's more to the image than the reflection. I really like how the bowl reflects the entire room and almost fisheyes it. I also like the line of the faucet itself.

Assignment One

So after working out some technical issues, I was able to complete this assignment on the second go. To be honest, it felt great to use my camera again, but I found it difficult to include myself in the images. I couldn't find the timer on my camera to allow me to take pictures without holding it and I found that trying to take a picture with one hand made it hard to get the correct setting for the shot and was awkward. For this reason, mosts of the images I liked were the ones that had reflections or where I wasn't physically in the image. I like being behind the camera, not in front. I also need to get more comfortable with taking my camera out in North Philly. Pretty much all of these pictures were taken inside my house apart from the ones of the snow. I think my favorites are the reflections in the bowl and the faucet. I also like the idea of the footprints as showing a record of myself being there without literally being in the photograph.
