Classmate portrait of Tara Ballenger

Honestly, I am a little shy, but not much after getting into, person, so I need a certain amount of time to get to know people. I had never met Tara Ballenger before advanced technique. The first impression I got from her is that Tara is also a shy girl as I am. Her shyness suddenly reminded me of The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.

Since I am majoring in art history, I have many opportunities to see how masters use light to make the masterpiece. Johannes Vermeer is a master of capturing sudden emotion and lighting. However, there is a secret. Art historians are confident that Vermeer used as tools both mirrors and the camera obscura. This helps him obtain the sudden emotion of the girl in The Girl with a Pearl Earring. Close examination of his paintings shows that Vermeer realized that shadows are not colorless and dark and that light is composed of colors. Thus, he painted reflections off a surfaces in colors modified by others near by.
I sometimes imagine what if he lives in 20th century.





I was a stranger to her, and she was a stranger to me. I was trying to capture something ice between people who had never met before. I luckily caught that in the first shot because it was the first shot.

zoo

i need to meet some animals once a month, or at least twice a semester. i decided to go to zoo on Saturday morning. Even though I don't much enjoy driving, there wasn't many options I could choose.

I lost the way exactly three times. It was the great exploring though.

I was like falling asleep during driving. I do not remember where exactly i was, but I surely remember the one thing. "middle of nowhere."

I'm going to upload some pictures later today.

I had some conversations with ph- today.
show your ability of diverse area. show your adaptability regardless of location

thanks ph-

the first experience

OK, honestly, I am from Missouri, but I don't want to say "honestly." I took some sport shots today. It was my first experience ever!! I was so nervous till now. Athletes were awesome except me. I used a long lens which I had never used before. Yes, I felt like the first date with my first boyfriend. I was concerned about the first kiss on that day, but never happened. anyway...




I chose taking pictures of gymnastic people b/c I wanted to be a ballerina long time ago.
I have not much idea about gymnastic, but maybe there are similarities.



It was hard for lack of lightness and of experiences;nevertheless, I had much more fun than I expected. Thanks for my friends again. They supported me a lot in many ways. :) They are really warm people. We found that sign was much bigger than we thought, so we decided to take a "monumental" picture in front of it.

Monday is mundane.
I was walking outside. It was cold.

I can't think of anything but only one thing: visiting Jun soon.

We will travel somewhere. Well, undecided yet.

The one thing I sure is that my blueberry socks will be always tag along with me.

Thanks Blueberry-
