My Favorite Photos

An in-depth look at some of my favorite photos I've taken

Photography is something I enjoy very much, and I enjoy sharing my photography with people, so here is some of the photography I have taken recently.

This photo was taken in my backyard back home. I love looking at star photography, so I decided to try it out. It took a few nights, but I eventually got it, and one night I got this picture. That streak of light on the trees is actually from the headlights of a car driving by!

I enjoy getting unusual perspectives or doing other unusual things to get cool photos. This photo of the chapel is one example of this. I walked to the middle of the quad, got on my stomach, and zoomed in so that I could get the out-of-focus grass in the foreground, because I knew it would add a lot to the photo.

Leading lines are another favorite photo technique of mine. They lead your eyes into the photo and provide some very interesting detail. I enjoy this photo because the shelves provide a cool leading effect, and the colors are pretty cool.

This photo was fun. I took it one day while walking around campus taking pictures, but when I went to edit it, it didn’t look at all interesting, so I decided to mess around and try some crazy things. I ended up making it pretty surreal looking, and I think that this version is quite a bit more interesting than the original.

I enjoy photography very much and have appreciated the way I have been able to develop it and share it.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
