Juxtaposition (March 2012)

 This follows under the juxtaposition concept because of the Golden Gate Bridge and the "Caution" sign. While the Golden Gate Bridge is known to be a beautiful landmark in California, the Caution reveals the "ugly" within San Francisco. "The Beauty and then The Ugly."

I took this photo on a gloomy day in the city; I lowered down the saturation on the yellow as well as the orange. Then I brightened the contrast.

Big and small.

While editting this photo, I used some cross process as well as boosting up the saturation and sharpening it a bit more.

 

While everybody is doing the same move, there is that one boy that is doing the opposite, as well as there are people practicing their own routine.

While editting this photo, I converted it to black and white, and I made the shadows more noticeable.

The trees are all matching, and there are people contradicting the tree's "pattern."

I didn't really use much editting on this, however I did make the sky a little more bluer.

 In the past, I was very involved with band, dedicating at least two to three hours of my time everyday in middle school to perfecting any musical piece that was given to me. To this day, I still wish I was involved in band the way I was in middle school - I received two of the top music awards in middle school upon graduation. I also represented my middle school three times at a state level, which was known to be very scarce for a 6th grader to be at competition musician level. Although I don't play the clarinet for the school band, I still find time to express myself by practicing the clarinet at home by just somehow "forgetting" the world as my mind is lost to the sound of music.

The first time I ever picked up a camera and took serious shots was when I was in the 8th grade. I never thought I would end up with such advantage in photography now; I plan on pursuing it as I grow older - maybe eventually doing it as a side job in the future.

In the future, I am praying to get accepted and attend the University of California Berkeley. If not Berkeley, then there are always other superior schools out there to attend. (:
