upstate New York

ok so i took a trip to upstate new york with a friend this past weekend since it was a 3-day. The first picture is of two buildings in Woodstock. I like the vibrant whit against a darker deep red brick. The second is of a buddha statue outside of teh house that we stayed at. And finally the third is of a kaleidoscope at the worlds largest kaliedoscope in the catskills mtns.

My nephew waving to his shadow!!!

Sunset at Lord's Point

After class I drove home and parked my car down the street. I waited for the sun to set and walked over to the dock on Boulder Avenue. As I was about to take a picture a seagull landed on the pillar directly in front of me. It was as if he or she were posing for the shot. I took many photos and it was not until I left that the seagull left too.

The other photo is of a railing and set of stairs that lead from the upper dock to a lower area where people can get into their boats conveniently.

At a pond by my house

At a beach in guilford with my nephew
It doesnt really incorporate a theme of the class i just like this picture!

Seagulls

This photo was taken at the East Haven beach. Prof. Nevins helped with the editing. Can you find all the seagulls?

lily study

Unfortunately, lilies don't like the cold. My friend gave me a bouquet of 'em at my Senior Art Show opening and over the past week I documented their demise.

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE

AMAZING CONCERT!!

Downtown :)

These are two pictures I took downtown. Thats all for now.

Green House

Here are two more photos from the green house. The cactus was huge, but I got in very close to take a picture. I took a picture of this pink and black plant because I liked how the water droplets looked on it. I'd never seen a plant as vivid as this one until I went to the Green House.

This is a beach in Stratford.

I took these pictures randomly in the past couple days. The first one I took at a party over the weekend and the other two are just images of candy being hit by light... Guess what kind of candies they are!

This is a shadow picture I took after climbing up West Rock!

Ribbit ribbit

I also made a new friend at the green house. His name is Harold.

Beach Pictures

This picture was taken at the West Haven beach. I thought that the aluminum decayed over time made for an interesting picture.

This photo was taken at the East Haven beach. There were several seagull feathers embedded in the sand, but this was the largest one I could find. I really like the shadow the feather casts, and I like the contrast of white against the grainy sand.

Downtown

I took these pictures while downtown over the weekend. I liked the standing water reflection of the tree in the manhole and the shadow of the tree that grazed some random Yale building that i do not know the name of.

The other is a puddle infront of dominican on my way out the door, you can tell because of all of the cigarette butts.

This is a puddle from a rainy day

more self portraits

Here is a few more self portraits that I took and reworked. The courners in each photo are blown out but I still enjoyed these pictures and thought they were fun.

Green House

Today I went to the green house at Edgerton Park. A lady that worked there commented that I was lucky because there were so many flowers in bloom. I agreed. Here are three pictures that I took.

Light & Shadow

This is a picture from a bridge in Durham. I like the way the shadows of the fence hit the water.

This is a picture from Wesleyan University. I like this picture because of the way the shadows hit the structure...I think it is very interesting.

These were both taken at albertus. The bricks I found by the library and the stairs are by the cafe.

Light

These are two pictures I took in my room. The water bottle was on the window sill and I noticed how the light was coming through the bottle and refelcted onto the sill. I thought it needed some color so I added the sanitizer, got up on the sill and started shooting. The other picture of the door handle was the same day.

ashley's self portrait

My name is Ashley, I am a senior at Albertus. I major in criminal justice but i love taking professor Nevins' classes. I find them really fun and they bring out an artistic side of me that I didn't know I had! This is my self-portrait. Although this is not the best of my work, I am a very busy girl and this is the best I could do for now. I look forward to posting more images!!

This is a picture of a puddle of water that sat on top of a bucket that gave off a reflection of the tree branches.

Reflection

This is a picture of a telephone pole near a beach in Stratford. I really like this shot. I took it last week after the storm.

light & reflection

This is my puddletree. I got this shot leaving McAuliffe Hall on the back stairs while we were having that mini-monsoon last week.

I took this shot of my friend while I was driving on 691; her glasses were ridiculous and I liked the reflection of the setting sun with the rearview mirror.

This is a light shadow picture that I took at the greenhouse around the corner.

Downtown

These images are a part of the downtown photos I took. The telephone pole image was taken across from Cosi. I saw the shadow from across the street, and I just couldn't pass it up. As far as the golden dome image, I pointed my camera to the New Haven skyline and tried to fill the frame as best as possible. In editing this photo I focused on enhancing the light on the right side of the building.
