Fishes of Mexico

Alex White got me a fish eye camera as a belated birthday present and underwater housing for it and it looks awesome. It's a 35mm camera with a hand rewinder and no flash and a viewfinder. Also i went to the MFA today and saw the Mexican photo exhibit there.
Edward Weston was the main photographer of the exhibition and he took a variety of photos. He had landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, and architecture. The prints were mainly on gelatin silver while a few were on platinum. Some of his photos were of the Aztec ruins and their temples, which gave a great sense of depth looking up at them. also the photos of the people showed the hope and dirt of the towns.

free roll and level

I also just shot a free role of my family at my other cousin's graduation party at night. I hope the flash didn't blow the picture out... when you turn the flash on does my camera account for it, like does it measure the light plus the light of the flash?

also I took some pictures of moving lights and used the tripod... yay.

And finally i just drew a level using the camera as a model for U3 a video game that I am designing a level for in July at MIT.

old and the recent

So a while ago I went to the MFA like in April and saw the figures show. it was of people in different poses. then just recently i saw my cousins photography at Mass College of Art and it was spectacular to see how well her photo came out since she is in 3rd grade. It was of a pond near the Franklin Park Zoo in winter and it really showed the time and effort she put into it. Also her photograph and one of her drawings was on the postcard they sent out to relatives!! I was astounded that she had two of her works on the card.
