Soon, i am going to post the photos I took last summer in Taiwan!
Bientôt, je vais mettre des photos que j'ai pris l'été dernier à Taiwan sur mon blog!
很快我要把我去年下天去台弯照得照片放在网路上！

Here's what I turned in for my Photo I final project. My theme was, as usual, playing with the shadows of ordinary objects and abstracting them. My favorite photois the 3rd one with the archlike structrure in it. It may be hard to believe, but the things in photos below are nothing more than a cup, a wire basket, a piece of foam, pencils, and a paper tray. That's all!
Batch #2 of photos I took during summer school!
I took about 15 rolls of film while in Taiwan... I am super excited to develop them... next year.
Yep, next year.
I don't have darkroom access until I take another summer course in Summer 2007 :(
Therefore, the freezer is where my film will hibernate for many months - then there will be lots of new photos!
What will be funny is when people ask me what a photo is of, and I will honestly respond, "I don't know." I am a very lazy person and I did not write down what I took photos of, where I took photos, or even when I took photos. So it will be very fun printing those pictures next year when I've forgotten everything on it.
But while my memory is semi-fresh, here is what I remember taking pictures of.
DFW Terminal D Airport (sculptures, escalator, stairs, art, italian restaurant)
Soho paper museum (which i wasn't supposed to, tee hee!)
Danshui river (old people working out, obligatory cityscape river shot)
Random buildings
CKS memorial gate windows
Yingge
hmmmmmmmm thats all i can think of off the top of my head for now, but i took many, many photos!
In Photography I had opportunities to play with different cameras - a holga, a twin lens, and my favorite: Minolta X700 with a bellows (accordion like thing). Now, I had no idea what a bellows was, but I grew to quickly adore it
.
<---- what a bellows i used basically looked like... i'm in love with it
I experimented with tons of things from feathers to gems to.... gift cards! Yes, I zoomed in on gift cards from Starbucks. On a whim, I took an entire roll of color film to see how it would turn out. After I picked up my prints from target (since in Photo I we don't do color - plus I think i'd shoot myself trying to print all of them), I was hooked. DETAILS! I could instantly see how the images were made up of, which cards had layers, which had glitter - it brought a totally new perspective to how images are printed.
