Everyday (Day 10)
.jpg)
I was able to enjoy this delicious drink while working on my thesis at the Texan Theater in downtown Greenville.
Scavenger Hunt Two
It was exciting playing with the new cameras today during class. I enjoyed myself, but I was limited by the lens. I was amused by my color choice ("cognac"), and I hope to warm up with a nice drink after tonight's chilly walk home.

Everyday (Day 9)
While I don't have access to Lightroom from home, I was able to use my Mac's photo editor to adjust a few things. I especially love using the eyedropper tool!

Everyday (Days 1-8)
These eight images encapsulate my last eight days of the "Everyday" project. All of them are fairly unedited at this point, but I hope to experiment manipulating them in Lightroom next week.
Flakphoto with Lucas Foglia’s Natural Order
I selected this article because of the first picture in the series, which is shown here. I've been going back to my hometown most weekends and enjoying my parents' cable tv. While home, I began watching a show called, "Alaska's Last Frontier" (admittedly a cheesy 'Discovery' show...I know...). This photograph reminded me of what I would see on the show.
In reading the article, I learned that Foglia's focus is similar to the show! He has been photographing individuals who have been leaving towns to live "off-the-grid" in fear of a looming environmental apocalypse. As a result, his photographs show contemporary people in traditionally rural settings, thus showing the "natural order" of a return to nature, highlighting elders and youth, garbage and nature, and life and death. For this photo, I especially love how the leaves on the bush align with the individual's arm, creating a more natural camouflage than the usual Army-beige gear. I also like the striking color difference between the orange hair and clothing with the vivid greenery. This photograph will be published with others in a book titled Natural Order, and I hope to snag a copy using ILL!
