In this photo, I wanted to accomplish a sort of Andy Warhol, pop-art appearance where the picture appeared to be painted or at the very least, edited to a comic book consistency. I used the dropper tool to determine colors that were naturally in the photo and then saved those colors as their own individual pallets. I then used the paint bucket tool to take a few of the colors and then spread them out in haphazard patterns as an initial exercise. I then went back and took away some of the random chaos of the paint fill and made it a bit more pointed. I then took a brush and created a few new colors that were slightly brighter (the pink etc.) to fill in the model’s face. I didn’t want to paint that completely, so I decided to use the brush to make more concise marks. Specifically, I used yellow to highlight his hair, light pink to make the sweater appear more cartoon-ish, and red and peach tones to over exaggerate his skin tone and lips. I had a version of the photo wherein there were several square repeats of the photo, but I decided to just include one here. d2l.depaul.edu/d2l/le/896354/discussions/threads/4622491/...
I mentioned I had run the annual Pilsen's, Dia De Los Muertos 5k and I took many pictures of various interesting objects along the route and at the finish line. Being that this tradition to celebrated deceased loved ones is a true tradition celebrated throughout Mexican culture. Mexico is already a very colorful country and Day of the Dead is no different. There are many offerings, there is rich color, there is confetti, decorations, food, serapas, skeletons, costumes, face paint, flowers...there is so much going on. I took various photos of various things including an offrenda, which in Spanish, is kind of like an alter or table where the dead are honored. The dead's personal belongings or favorite foods are laid across on display so that the dead can enjoy. I took photos of various dancers doing indian/spritual/tribal dancing. They too were in costume. Mariachis were playing as well and their faces were painted in traditional day skeleton. Music played all around me. There were skulls everywhere. Color was popping from every direction and from all those who participated. Those who were running the race were issued Day of the Dead Race shirts which were also decorated in colorful flowers. With all this said, and being that this tradition was simultaneously going on to Module 9, I used these photos for my creative escape and experimentation. I overlapped various parts of various photos. For example, in this photo, I used a picture I had of old birch tree from Montana or Portland where in both states, Indian culture is still honored and celebrated, these trees have an indian significance to them. Once I created a relative focal point of the trees, I overlayed a boy who was doing his tribal dance in Day of the Dead make up and costume. I then applied both of those parts onto my original photo, the offrenda, to make off as if the boy was the spirit at the offering table. Maybe he was dancing to the offerings for him at that moment. I find this picture relative to the date and time of the week of 11/4. I find it colorful, I find it speaking volumes of culture, afterlife, life, tradition, Mexican significance and celebratory. I was afraid to tamper with the original photo but I'm glad I did as I really enjoy this end result. It's so interesting and colorful to me.
The Type PC5 ultracapacitor is engineered to provide extended power availability during dips, sags, and outages in main power sources as well as to relieve batteries of burst power functions.
This is a concept I've been tinkering with for a long time. Basically, you build a 2x4 module to N-trak standards, then you can have this "clip-on" loop receiver to allow for continuous running into and out of the module scene. I would paint the loop space flat black to denote that it was off-layout, but you could also scenick it, if you like.

In Module 6 our exercise was to retake photos that were taken in the previous module and improve the shot. This was a challenge because sometimes it is difficult to capture that similar image you intended. One of my retakes actually made the original look nicer. However, one of the other retakes was much improved from the original. For this first photo of the portfolio I chose the best one from the set of retakes. The photo I chose was this photo of the Willis Tower from a neighborhood view. It was taken in the early evening before sunset and from the southern side of the tower. It was taken from the Bridgeport neighborhood. I was fortunate to be able to capture this photo on a day that was not so hazy. It had been hazy most days and would have made it difficult to obtain a clear image. In this image I wanted to capture an angle that most individuals are not used to seeing. Most images of the Willis Tower are accompanied with the Chicago skyline. I believe this photo is art because I was able to capture and isolate an iconic building in the city of Chicago but not make it the main focus. Although it is centered and captures the attention of the photo, it does not hide the view of the neighborhood. The line of light poles on left and the line of trees on the right allows the viewer to follow the path down the street toward a red house at the end that sits at the foot of the Willis Tower in this image. The blue sky behind the tower acts as a backdrop to make the building standout. The semi-circle created by the top of the trees around the tower acts as a frame to create an almost frame within a frame effect. This retake was preceded by a similar photo. That photo had some power line obstructions in the image and a little hazy from the many trees that covered the Tower. This required me to locate a better angle. Finding a new angle to avoid the power lines was a bit challenging, however this forced me to try different lenses and forcing me to move around in various directions. I see this view often, but capturing it and being able to view it in this way really allows me to appreciate it much more.
