The goal was to capture everyday life through the use of portraiture. In the lesson, it was noted that beginner photographers should start with simple shots of people doing things. With this in mind, I took this shot of my mother writing in her checkbook. I shot with a shutter speed slow enough so that the moving pen could blur to show movement. For edits, I converted to B&W, brought out the shadows of the jacket, lightened areas of the skin, added white to balance the soft yellow lighting, sharpened, contrasted, and adjusted levels.
