Bicycle Rack

I chose this picture because it was part of learning how to use the aperture (part 1 of the project).  I like how in this picture (the larger image you can see it more easily) the blue bike is very clear, but the trees and figures in the background are very blurry.  I like being able to use the aperture because the subject you focus on pops out  a lot more because it is the only clearly seen object.

Self Portraits

I chose this self-portrait, which ended up being one of my final photographs, because it's one of my favorites.  I really enjoyed taking the reflection pictures in particular because you did not have to look straight at the camera and all of my reflection pictures look so much more dramatic.  I like this picture in particular by the way I cropped part of my head off so the focus is more on my neck and blush on my cheek.

Ray Street C

I chose to take this photo from the steps of my building on Ray Street.  I did not want to take the picture of the whole front of the building purposely.  I like the idea of the building on a diagonal in this photograph.
