Never will I complain about exploring outdoors to find beauty. When my homework involves illustrating Gods masterpiece in nature, into an photograph, there is really no room to complain.

I enjoyed learning about Ansel Adams in my research. The obvious is that he created breathtaking images of our nations magnificent landscapes. The more heart- warming was how passionate he was about preserving our environment. He used his art to convey a very important message. God gave us all of this beauty, how can we possibly sit back and watch it be destroyed? He compared a photo to a blink of God. Sometimes I feel God places us somewhere because there is something He wants us to see. It seems that Ansel and I shared that view.

I hope that my passion for the arts can lead to benefit to the world someday. Through our artistic talents, we can heal ourselves, heal each other, and heal the world.

Peace, Love, and Art

Documentary street photographer Felix Lupa, is known best for his evocative black and white street portraiture. Below are a few photos I took in an attempt to capture the spirit, as well as visual qualities of Lupa’s work. All shots were taken at 50mm, f/4, ISO 100.

Felix Lupa was my master of photographer and I tried to create the same vibes he gives in his photos. He does mostly black and white street photography with an emphasis on social issues.

I went to Delta Ponds to try to find some wildlife before it got dark. These photos were my version of the kind of style my photographer does.  I will explain more during my presentation tomorrow!
