Click the photos for a larger/complete image.
I ran into a few technical problems earlier, so if you see that a photo isn't responding- click it anyway. It'll bring you to the larger image. Also, the post for my Brooklyn Bridge photo is missing, but you can still check it out using the link in my Blog Archive. Strange, I know.

Teabagging
2008, "Handy"
I thought I'd start off where I started the semester: the bathroom. I chose the walls because they contrast the green cup so well.
Lighthouse
2008, "Seismic"
Not many people know there's a light house in Jersey City. The red and white striped remind me of the cat in the hat.
Something Old, Something New
2008, "Newark Scavenger Hunt"
One of the items for the scavenger hunt was architectural texture. Here, the grittiness of the older building juxtaposes the streamlined, smooth, newer one

Text Messaging Not Included
2008, "Monumental"
I usually find pay phones unpleasant. However, their large size in this image seems to invite you to push them. They're clean, too. : )
Sock Drawer
2008, "Monumental"
Internet killed the card-catalog. However, it still makes a good subject. Here, I not only tried to make the drawers seem larger but endless, as well.
Ferry
2008, "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"
Though this isn't one of the aforementioned modes of transportation, I thought ferries were an equally important part of the Manhattan commute.
Brooklyn Bridge
2008, "NY/NJ"
Although this isn't New Jersey, the coziness of the Brooklyn cafe contrasts with the Manhattan background, quite well. :)
Whistle While You Work
2008, "Picture Book"
For the Picture Book assignment, I chose the story of Snow White. I tried to make each image in the series appear timeless- though the princess against a modern background turns out quite well, here.
Hitchcock
2008, "Seismic"
After sitting on a bench for nearly thirty minutes, a truck behind me honked its horn. It frightened the birds so they started flying everywhere. In turn, I began to freak out.
Not Actual Size
2008, "Monumental"
I chose a bag of chips as one of my subjects for this assignment because I've always wondered what it would be like if food was that big.
City Streets
2008, "Self-Motivated"
I didn't even have to fiddle with the camera to attain the hyper-saturated quality of the flowers. It was mostly due to the beautiful weather, which can also be seen through the contrast between light and shadow in the background.
Snow White + Apple
2008, "Picture Book"
I wonder how many people will notice that when Snow White was poisoned, she was in the home of the seven dwarfs. I chose to take this picture outdoors for the natural lighting.
Monster Within
2008, "Newark Scavenger Hunt"
I bought this in the dollar store for the scavenger hunt. I believe it's supposed to pour milk. It's interesting to see what you can reap using a minimal amount of colors and space.
In the Dollar Store
2008, "Newark Scavenger Hunt"
For the scavenger hunt, I decided to hit two birds one stone. Here, I photographed a woman in the dollar store.
On His Throne I
2008, "Self-Motivated"
I have recently gotten into the habit of asking my customers to model for me.
On His Throne II

2008, "Self-Portrait"
Just thought I'd finish things where my work started, and most days end: the bathroom.
