The Ten Gallon World


THE TEN GALLON WORLD

This is the first project for documentary video. The assignment was animals. I would have done it on my dog from back home, but I figured that's what everyone was going to do, so I thought fish would be more original.

Photography

Jake

This is a portrait of our boxer Jake. I like the contrast.



"GOBOZILLA"

This is another part of my studio photo final. It is called "Gobozilla" because to make the shadow, I had to make a big cardboard cutout of the character, i.e. a gobo. Again there were over a hundred pictures taken of this, but I feel these two get the idea across the best.



SPIN II

Part of my Studio Photography final project. I took over a hundred photos of this thing and these two were my favorite. I like this one for the cool, blue tint.



SPIN I

UP

This picture was taken at random and for fun, but it turned out to have some really interesting lighting in it. So I ran with it. It's a friend trying to climb the side of a building. He didn't get far.
