What interests me

Driving back from one of CUA's football games in the middle of no where Virginia, I saw the moon hiding behind the mountains.  I  love full moons, and the way it was in the sky, with the landscape, I had to take a picture of it. 

Early morning sunrises at football practice.  I saw a lot of these this past fall.

The Washington Monument and a Chipotle burrito. What could be better?

I love anything with the American flag in it.  I thought this was a cool picture because of the wood chairs, and then my friends sitting there.

Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  I went here last March for a spring break trip I helped lead with Habitat for Humanity.  One of the most fun cities I have ever been to and would love to go back.

what photographs inspire me

I like the colors and the lights of the buildings.  The different sizes add height.

On Lake Michigan.  I love the simplicity and the contrast of the black outfit against the white snow.

I like the focus on the jewels against the wrinkly hands.

I like the green color of the water, and that the man looks so small compared to the big wave.

I like that this is black and white, and that the couple is the focus. Romantic.

I like that the person and the dog are distant, but at the center of the hill.

Why I'm taking this class...

I am taking this class because it seems very interesting.  I wanted to take a class my last semester of college that would be fun but would also teach me valuable things.  Because our world basically revolves around the cell phone, I thought this would be perfect.  Taking pictures on your phone has become a common activity and most people are able to be amateur photographers, especially thanks to social media and different apps.  I am hoping to be able to hone in on and enhance this art form of cell phone photography.
