While I was taking this photo I felt really sad. Being at the mountain with no snow made me miss spending every weekend on snow. I am so excited for ski season. I loved visiting Sunday River, but I miss it. 

Crew has been a huge part of my life this Fall. I love this picture because I remember taking this moment so well. Our team was rowing at full pressure and I yelled to stop. I took out my phone on the water and turned around to take this beautiful shot. Being in the middle of the ocean in this thin boat is such a fun feeling.

Portraits

As I was photographing Lilly, I was playing with light and eye contact. In a couple of photos, I had her look directly at the camera, and in others look away. This picture specifically, shows her happy personality. She is laughing and I love the fact that the light is right on her face and her head is turned away.
When taking this photo, I was incorporating the "Rule of Thirds." Lilly is not directly in the center of the shot which pulls the whole picture together. I also think that the light is really unique in this photo. The light off of her hair is so pretty. Again, in this photo I had Lilly look away from the camera. It's almost like I caught her off guard. Personally, I really like this photo.

David Hockney Collages

The Cubist Period occurred in the 20th century. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were credited with this style in 1907 and 1914. The Cubist Artwork was basically created abstracted and three dimensional shapes on a two dimensional surface. A cubist artist would usually show more than one view at a time.

David Hockney is an artist. He has done many different kinds of work and many different media and styles. For instance, he is a painter, photographer, designer, and many more. He was known to be one of the most famous artists of his time. I notice that he shows all of the sides of one object on a two dimensional page. He might have been influenced by other artists like Picasso.
