charlottesville grid project

Mr. David Dupont plays his harmonica for loose change outside the Jefferson Theater. He later tells me, "Many people have taken pictures of me, but nobody has asked me for a release form before."

Micayle Marie (on the left) and Adele Sams (on the right) sit on the mall and play their instruments merrily.

Mr. James Rippetoe and his two dogs walk along the downtown mall in Charlottesville on April 15, 2012.

For photography class, we had to advertise something. So I advertised apples, because they are the most delicious food in the entire world.

the arboretum

I went to an arboretum several weeks ago. During the golden hour, the trees looked truly majestic. As evening fell, the silhouettes of the many trees looked eerily beautiful.

Iris

The retinas seem almost like sand. When one zooms in past a normal view of what one normally sees, a great deal of beautiful detail is revealed. Such is life: smooth and bland from far away, but filled with beautiful veins of color and texture up close.

The eye is considered a "window to the soul" in many cultures. I myself would get lost in the beauty of the panes of this window and lose my original purpose.
The only criticism to this picture is that although the exposure is great, the subject matter is captivating, and the level of detail is wonderful, much of the detail is lost by a lack of focus.

In addition, the many different shades of yellow and blue in the composition are quite lovely.
