Repeating Flash

We had failed initially with getting good pictures. Our background was messed up so we went inside the darkroom. Richard and I tried using the hoola-hoop and were unsuccessful with timing. Gabi had an idea of standing in front as we throw the hoop behind. Then I thought of encircling Gabi with the hoop like a transporting thing from Star Trek, and that turned out good. The image has good spacing between hoop rings, simplistic background and good focus.

Painting with Light

My intended message behind this related to the environment and trash consumption. This photo reminded me of my APES class sophomore year and how trash is a crucial component to environmental degradation. I tried to make curly "Q's" like Pigpen from Snoopy. I had Gabi hold the shutter button while I used finger lights to create the lights coming out of the trash can. I also flashed the trash can in the beginning. Edits include contrast, shadows and color.
