week 10 Financial Statements

The financial statements were actually a lot easier than i thought they would be. I didn't mind doing it as much as i thought i would and i actually learned alot. It was good to see it all broken down in-front of my face like that. I know that they numbers that were generated we not really realistic but in the future hopefully they will be. I have not worked with excel very much and i didn't know that it would calculate everything like that and constantly change for you when you re entered your numbers. I think that was the best thing about the financial statements is that you can constantly change it and fix it to your needs for that specific moment.

week 10 photo challenge

This photo was taken with a Nikon D90. I wanted to take a food shot that
was from the eyes of the person eating it. I took a photo of a half-eaten pie
with the fork still in the pan. I used my depth of field to put an emphasis on
the inner pie and the pie on the fork. I wanted to put a glass of milk in there
so that it really feels like you’re the one sitting there eating it yourself. I
did not do any post work in Photoshop and this was taken all in camera. I like
how the table drops out of focus in the back of the frame and I think that the
detail in the crust it really nice. I used 2 strobe lights one with a soft box
and one with a grid.

40 under 40 week 9

Where i plan on being when i am forty is owning my own studio and being financially stable so that i do not have to work constantly to keep up with bills for my business and my personal life. I want to be able to live conformably without having to pinch pennies to stay afloat. It is scary to think about things like this because currently i am only 23 and i don't have a job or a regular paycheck coming in. My parents help me a lot and i am scared to think that i am going to have to do that for my children to. I want to be able to buy nice things, have my own house, and live a nice life. In the next 17 years i have to work very hard to be able to accomplish the goals that i have set for myself in order to live the way that i want. I think there are going to be many hardships up ahead but being persistent and strong enough to be successful is the recipe that is going to help me in the long run.

week 9 photo challenge

I took this photo with a Nikon D90. I think that
it is news worthy because it is Freemont Street in Las Vegas and there is always
stuff going on in this area. Whether it be a fight, a fe3stival, and outdoor
band there is always something in the news or paper about it. So my concept for
the newsworthy photograph was to take a stock photo that would be able to be
used multiple different times for multiple different stories. A newspaper could
buy this image and reprint it as many times as they want which means it’s
cheaper for the publisher. I think that for that type of business it’s a great
idea to think about things like that. Another thing that I like about this photo is
that there is a lot of detail for the time of day and the amount of data in the
photo.

week 8 photo challenge

I took this photo with a Nikon D90. I used a macro lens and I
wanted it to be in black and white with a little color. I think that this is a
beautiful photo because the color in her eye pops so much. I wanted to capture
me in her eye taking the photo. I think that this is a very interesting concept
and I love the idea of being able to see this environment that someone is in,
in their eye. I chose the model that I did because she does have such beautiful
eyes. I desaturated her skin in Photoshop and then painted in the black around
her eye. I then proceeded to up the saturation in her pupil so that her eye
colors would really stand out. I think that the colors in her eye are
incredible so I really wanted to emphasize that. Another thing that I did in Photoshop
was increased the sharpness in her eyelashes which made them darker and stand
out more as well. I would love to do a series like this because I want to play
around with color and different eyes.

week 8 Is she fair game?

I think that people who are famous, doesn't matter for what are fair game for photographers. If you are going to put yourself out there like that then i think that it is completely fine for people to take your photo. One thing that i dont agree on is the way that some people go about getting those photos. I dont like photographers who do things that are on the moral line and will do anything, even things that are illegal, to get the perfect picture.

Week 7 Photo Challenge

This photo was taken with a nikon d90. My lens was a 80-105. I used flash on camera to get the paparazzi look. I wanted it to look like i just captured a famous rich person who was caught off guard getting out of there expensive vehical. I liked this shoot i thought it was fun to try and get an interesting shot in this manner. I don't ever take pictures like this just quickly with flash on camera but i thought that it was an interesting way to take photos.
