Hello everyone. Welcome to my first legitimate blog.

Assignment Numero 1

Profile

The bus stop says a lot of things for me. I took the train to Princeton but looking in the direction of the sun as if hoping to be somewhere else.

Abstract Profile

If only I had these on in my first picture... Classic Ray Ban looking bootleg sunglasses made for a good abstract profile.

Profile Drawing

I'm deeply in need of tan. For the drawn pictures I did not want to use the computer, I felt safer just drawing them but I paid more attention to the aesthetic of the photos.

Environment

The melted snow below complements the pile of snow. To me, it resembles a glacier thats waiting to melt away almost bleeding in a way. It is the melting of the pile that saturates the concrete that struck me. 

Abstract Environment

The layer of snow on the roof of Travers/Wolfe lounge is so thin and the light shining on it make it hard to tell where it is and if it is actually a snow.

Environment Drawing

My interpretation of a snowflake. I wanted to make it look pretty radical, like on a microscopic level.

Action/Idea

This sharpener that worked so efficiently stands alone on the edge of my desk with it's reflection in the metal ruler. The elevated ledge emphasizes it importance almost like a podium. 

Abstract Action/Idea

A pile colored pencil shavings. An up close picture of the remains of the act of sharpening a pencil. The texture is what caught my eye the most and I want to have the viewer feel like they are inside the pile.

These are more abstract pictures that I took for fun. I like pushing the abstract. The more confusing an image, the more appealing it is to me. Not everything should be seen like it is in reality. It makes the boring, interesting.

Those don't look like you're average trash cans. If these aren't abstract, I don't know what is. Industry pumps out abstract objects all the time. A lot of appliances that are made catch my eye. The shower cleaning machines that are always sitting around the towers look so out of place, it's an eye sore but very intriguing.

Action/Idea Drawing

This one relates back to the sharpener. Sharpened pencils in a row.
