This is a picture I took earlier this fall in Chicago. I think homeless people make very powerful subjects, I only wish I had gotten a more focused shot..however, I just snapped a quick one because I didn't want to disturb her. I cropped this photo, converted it to black and white, made a curves adjustment, ran a smart sharpen filter, set a color overlay, and used the burn tool to darken some hotspots. Not one of my best shots but it's a shot I feel an attachment to.

6th Assignment- Attraction/Repulsion


These three photographs were taken for my attraction/repulsion assignment. Logan showed me an old graveyard and abandoned neighborhood that was very eery/interesting.

5th Assignment- Night Photography


The following three pictures are for my night photography assignment. I went to downtown Helena and took pictures at the dam. While I edited all of these photos in photoshop, the blue casts, and funky colors (such as the orange in the third image) were not created in post, but rather, were a result of the purple spotlights they have on the dam.
