Final Project Proposal

For my final project I will shoot night. I know Neil Sahasrabudhe already did night, but his pictures were not of light in the dark. I want my pictures to be of lights in the dark. The dark is a cool place and to see beacons of light in the dark is a really awesome thing. The Moon is a great producer of light. The lighting produced by the moon at different times of the month is something I am very interested in. I know it will be very difficult because it doesn't get dark until very late but I can shoot on the weekends. I also want to try to get the skyline from different houses in Utah at night. I can shoot from TK's house or my house. I also want to try to get my parents to let me on the rooftop in order to shoot Salt Lake or the valley skyline. I also will be able to shoot the mine and all its lights, if I can get on the rooftop.

Assignment #8 Redo





I used the light from the same place as when I shot numbers. That light was pretty awesome. The can opener was really cool. The reflection off of the metal was pretty cool.I like the small white circle on the vcr tape. The knife worked because it reflected the dark of the background in the metal part which otherwise probably would have been to light.

Johnson Assignment #7 numbers

93

50

40

35

30

25

15

This number takes some explanation. Albert Pujols is number five. Ozzie Smith is number 1. So when you put number one in front of number 5; you get 15
13

4

1

This assignment was difficult to start out. I couldn't think of what to do and my days were so busy. Finally I got home and the light through my kitchen window was awesome. I took almost all of the pictures in the spot with the window light. I tried to match some of the pictures to a sort of theme. I used cooking magazines for 50,25,and 30. The magazines had such good light on them you can see all of the dust they had on them.In the end I really liked this assignment because it gave me an opportunity to see where there is good light and make sure I capture it before it is gone.

Assignment 6 Portraits











I Wanted to take portraits of many people but still capture their personality. I really like the ones of my dad, and the one with AJ playing the guitar with his hand blurred. The portraits were hard but when I finally found a large window the project became easier. The self portraits were very difficult but once I got a tripod I was able to do them much easier.
