2009-05-14T17:18:00.000-07:00

This was at the very top of the building and was hard to get a picture of with my little camera... it looks like cobwebs on a spiders nest.

Wichita Underground Building, Old Town Wichita,KS
This just shows how old the building is because when the wind started to blow peices of cement starting to fall from the corners of the building.

2009-05-12T07:51:00.001-07:00

I really liked this picture becasue of the way the road looks in the rear view mirror.

Sierra Liddell

2009-05-12T07:49:00.000-07:00

I took this picture the other day when it was very foggy but instead it just looks like its about to rain! But I still thought it was something interesting.

Nature(after the storm)Mara P.

2009-05-12T00:12:00.000-07:00

The way how the water goes from smooth to ruff looks very natural.

The water escaping from under the blocked bridge looks cool.

River(after the storm)Mara P.

2009-05-12T00:00:00.000-07:00

The white in the waves makes it more noticeable.

Rushing River(after the storm)Mara P.

A river is such a peaceful part of nature.

Rushing Water(after the storm)Mara P.

Power Outtage(after the sotrm)Mara P.

2009-05-11T23:11:00.000-07:00

It almost looks like the power pole is floating.

Smoken-Mara P.

2009-05-11T22:58:00.000-07:00

The way how the grey in the sky and smoke blend together is interesting.

2009-05-11T22:38:00.000-07:00

This is my neighbor's tree after it snapped in half from the storm. I that the face on the tree and all the layers from the broken brake was cool.

Old barn

2009-05-05T12:47:00.000-07:00

I really like this picture I took of my Nana and Papa's barn. I like how their barn is old and in the middle of nowhere. I originally took it in color but I liked it much much better in black and white!

Leaf in the rain

2009-05-05T12:21:00.000-07:00

I took this picture of a plant leaf after it got rained on. I like how the leaf looks so green and the water so clear and pretty.

Turned over

2009-05-05T12:19:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of an oil rig that I saw along the side of the road. I liked the picture to begin with and then I liked it even more when I flipped it.

Fireplace

2009-05-05T12:17:00.001-07:00

I took this with the pastels effect on my camera. This is a old gas fireplace with wires from the TV and game systems running through the picture.

Random picture of...well TRASH

2009-05-05T12:14:00.000-07:00

I was bored and was trying to figure out what all the different effects on my camera were. I took this picture of my boyfriends coffee table with all the junk on it and I think he turned out kind of neat.

Looking off a building

2009-05-05T12:13:00.000-07:00

I took this picture in Wichita off the top of a parking garage. I think it looks very neat. I like the colors and the lines in the picture as well.

Week 15- Reflection

2009-05-03T20:47:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite pictures I have taken this semester. I was so excited when I saw how it turned out, because you can even see the clouds and the wires on the telephone pole.

Thursday photo 2

2009-05-03T20:37:00.001-07:00

I took this picture of an old ornament I found outside my moms house. It used to be beautiful but it got muddy after being outside for so long and in the rain.

Thursday photo 1

2009-05-03T20:35:00.001-07:00

The reason I chose this photo, was because you can see so much detail in it. The bark is very defined and I love how you can barely see through the two branches.

Tuesday photo 2

2009-05-03T20:32:00.000-07:00

I took this picture because it shows line and the angle that I took it at, makes the fence seem longer than it really is. It also is a pattern, because it looks like each piece of wood gets smaller the further away it is.

Tuesday photo 1

2009-05-03T20:30:00.001-07:00

I took this picture in one of my friends driveways. I love that you can really see the pattern that the tires make in the mud.

photos for this week

2009-05-03T19:49:00.000-07:00

So I really like the photo of the water. My friend was taking a drink and I liked the way the water was falling. It just looks really cool.

2009-05-03T19:38:00.000-07:00

These Are just a few of the one's from this week. I really like looking for things in my car that I can take photos of. Everyone does it but I like to find things that are hard to spot

Sunday's Post

2009-05-03T17:11:00.000-07:00

On my drive home to Colorado, whoever lives at this house has a bunch of these metal figures. With the sun setting behind them I thought it was a really cool picture.

Renee Simon WO 14 i think

Storm chasing anyone? What an interesting cloud that followed us home from a track meet....Looks like a bird, with a HUGE tailfeather...thingy. Like a turkey? I suppose that's called their fan. So it's a bird, with a fan spread out behind him in the sky.

THIS ONE IS A PICTURE OF A TREE THAT I TOOK FROM THE CAR. THE RAINDROPS ON THE CAR WINDSHIELD ALSO LOOK GOOD.
THIS IS THE SAME TREE BUT I TRIED TO GET A CLOSER UP ON THE BARK..
WELL, THIS ONE I TOOK IT BECAUSE I FOUND IT KIND OF INTERESTING TO FIND A BOTTLE OF WATER LYING OUT....

THURSDAY POST OF WEEK 14

2009-04-29T20:46:00.000-07:00

THIS IS A PICTURE I TOOK ONE EVENING AS THE SUN WAS SETTING AND IT WAS ABOUT TO RAIN. I LIKED THE WAY THE CLOUDS WERE THAT DAY, BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT TO RAIN SO THEY WERE DARK..
THIS IS ONE OF A FEATHER STUCK ON A WALL. I TOOK IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS CUTE AND ALSO IT MADE REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH A FEATHER

TUESDAY POSTS OF WEEK 14

2009-04-29T20:37:00.001-07:00

I TOOK THE PICTURES AT THE EXPLORATION PLACE DOWNTOWN. THE ABOVE IS ONE FOR THE INDIANS USED TO CALL THE CIRCLE OF LIFE. THEY USED TO SAY THAT LIFE IS COMPRISED OF FOUR THINGS; WATER, AIR, FIRE AND EARTH. I LIKED IT BECAUSE THAT IS TRUE.. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK.
THIS ONE LOOKS KIND OF INTERESTING, IT LOOKS LIKE A BIRD STUCK ON A PIECE OF WOOD. THE REASON I TOOK IS BECAUSE IN A WAY IT REPRESENTS US IN SOCIETY, THE WAY PEOPLE LET THEMSELVES GET CHAINED TO SOME HABITS..

Renee Simon Tuesday observation

2009-04-28T20:31:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite pictures....because the raindrops are so visible on the windshield and I just really appreciate the stark contrast of the wiper blade against the road and ditch and trees. Something about it just seems very surreal....

I took this picture while driving from Winfield to BCC, and I just really like the contrast of colors, especially how the blue-grey sky stands out against the white roof of the house and the green-brown grass. I also like the motion in the picture...everything is a little blurred. I think it's a nice touch.

2009-04-28T18:59:00.000-07:00

Here is a pic of the highway after it had been raining, thats why it have the dark spots on it. Also i fliped it and it just made it look really neat i thought.

2009-04-28T18:57:00.000-07:00

Here is a pic of a winp turbine in the wind fams out side of Montezuma, KS. I thought it looked cool with the storm clouds behind it.

Week 15

2009-04-28T17:09:00.001-07:00

I had to take a picture of these orchids because they were so beautiful. I loved the contrast of the yellow against the purple.

I took a picture of these dandelions because I thought the yellow really popped against the green leaves and dead grass.

Tuesday Post #2

2009-04-28T16:43:00.000-07:00

I thought this picture was interesting because this cute little purple flower was just randomly growing out of the leaves.

2009-04-28T16:40:00.000-07:00

I took this picture standing over a candle. I think the way the flame kind of blurs the whole photo is pretty cool.

2009-04-27T14:33:00.000-07:00

I took a picture of this flower usin the antique setting but then the let the petals keep their color. I just thought it looked like it could almost be a painting especially with the one water droplet still hanging on there.

28 Tues Post

2009-04-27T14:27:00.000-07:00

I just thought this was a very random picture. Firstly why would someone spray paint that type of face onto a trash barrel. Usually you see words but for them to put a face with x's for eyes. Just seems really interesting. Plus the blue stands out quite a bit amongst the browns.

Thursday Blog T-TR 9:30 Amanda

2009-04-27T12:07:00.001-07:00

Now I did not take this one, my friend did but had to put it on here because we talked about in class how hard it is to catch lightening on film.

You can never go wrong with a sunset picture. I thought you could see the movement of the clouds in this picture.

Week 14 Amanda T-TR 9:30

2009-04-27T12:02:00.000-07:00

I went home with a friend this weekend....this was taken from a combine I liked how the lines were leading into the sky like a vanishing point type effect.

rain drops

2009-04-26T22:36:00.000-07:00

i used the negative on my camera and took this picture of rain drops hitting the windshield

best sky picture ever!

2009-04-26T22:33:00.000-07:00

this was right before the rain started to come in i think its possibly the best sky picture ever

Diving Bell & The Butterfly-By: Mara Peterson

2009-04-26T20:41:00.000-07:00

Once again very blurred vision type.

Diving Bell & The Butterfly-By: Mara Peterson

2009-04-26T20:31:00.000-07:00

The glare in this picture looks like a blurred vision.

2009-04-26T20:16:00.000-07:00

Layers in tree trunks are always interesting.

Week 14

2009-04-26T20:15:00.001-07:00

I liked how you can almost see different layers in this picture.

Morgan Plummer

This is a picture I took of one of the girls tutus at the dance concert.

2009-04-26T19:53:00.000-07:00

This is how nature is layered.

2009-04-26T19:40:00.000-07:00

This is a pic of when I was driving back to eldorado and it was raining. I thought it looked really cool how the water was running up the windshield from the wind.

Blue Feathers(layered)-By: Mara.P.

2009-04-26T19:20:00.000-07:00

Even though this is just a feather duster the picture is still awesome.

week 14

2009-04-26T14:58:00.000-07:00

I was walking outside trying to figure out what to take a picture of and thought it would be a good idea to take a picture of a live and dead dandelion beside eachother.

WO 14 Renee Simon

2009-04-26T06:18:00.001-07:00

As we were leaving a track meet Saturday, on our way back to good 'ole BCC from Southwestern in Winfield, the storm reeeeeally started to get bad. Of course we were all taking pictures because there was supposed to be a tornado, [we missed it, sadly,] but I took this picture, and decided it looks kind of like a mountain upside down...?

Week 14

2009-04-24T22:03:00.000-07:00

Saw this graffiti and it reminded me of the videos about the artists that put the graffiti on the train. Put a different affect on the picture and I thought it made it the art pop a little more.

Renee Simon WO 12 or 13

2009-04-20T05:31:00.000-07:00

I took this photo walking down the sidewalk, with my eyes on the ground. I love how the circle is patterned, and how it says "WATER" on it [whatever this thing is, I think they can pump water out of it?] but the ground surrounding is so dry and crunchy looking. There are pine needles and dust, which is ironic, signifying a lack of water.

Week 13-Morgan

2009-04-19T21:44:00.001-07:00

I saw a bunch of sharpies in my desk and they were very colorful. The flash on my camera made them not turn out super clear but I like that.

Sierra Liddell Week #13

2009-04-19T20:50:00.001-07:00

I really like the way the light and the shadows come together. I was trying to take a picture of something else but I really liked the way this looked.

Diving Bell #3

2009-04-19T20:29:00.000-07:00

Another "Diving Bell" photo trying to capture the eyelid effect.

Diving Bell #2

2009-04-19T20:19:00.000-07:00

I was trying to copy what the director of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" did when filming by holding my fingers in front of the lens to look like eyelids. Didn't work out as well as expected.

Diving Bell #1

2009-04-19T20:14:00.000-07:00

I held plastic wrap over the lens of my camera when I took this picture to give a blurry effect to the picture. I was trying to capture the effect of blurred vision due to crying.

Week 13

2009-04-19T20:11:00.001-07:00

I found this shell on the hood of my car. I thought the tan color looked really pretty against the red and the reflection of the sun on the hood has a really interesting pattern.

Week 12

2009-04-19T20:02:00.000-07:00

I think the color saturation in this picture is really great. I also liked the hints of purple against the green leaves and the way the light reflected off of them.

flower

2009-04-19T19:27:00.000-07:00

well i was looking for a picture to take and i found a flower that my mom had bought and i took a picture and it turned out great....least i think so

Amanda Scheer Week 13 9:30 T-TR

2009-04-19T19:21:00.000-07:00

This is an old arrangement of flowers I have in my room and I thought they were still pretty even though they are dying.

week 13

2009-04-19T17:41:00.000-07:00

I took this picture when I was walking in the park. This is actually cement that wasn't smoothed out or anything and for some reason there is a little bit of green spray paint just in this one spot.
