Shoot Tight

For this photo series I immediately thought of photographing my cute and intricately decorated Christmas tree. My tree is small and the ornaments are even smaller, yet they are so elegant and bring  so much to the room. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year and I took this as the perfect opportunity to get some shots of the Christmas decorations around my apartment in Las Vegas. This is where I spend most of my weekends and one day when I came back after spending some time in St. George the entire place had been decorated with gorgeous Christmas decorations from reefs on the gates, to a large Christmas tree in the entry. These are some of my tight shots, I hope you enjoy.

This shot is my favorite because I got it after jumping out of the car as I was driving out of the gates because these reefs are my absolute favorite Christmas decoration. They are huge but you couldn't tell from how close my photo is. You can also see the blurred Stratosphere in the background, giving you context of where it was taken.

Illustration

Coming up with an idea for the Illustration assignment was challenging because when theres an issue that bothers me I am really passionate about it and so I have found it hard to pick an issue and illustrate it through just a few photos. Initially I had thought I wanted to do something about domestic abuse victims and shooting one that is far from the stereotypical image of what this looks like. Due to lack of resources I transitioned away from that idea and that night attended a guest speaker in the Eccles Fine Arts Center. This is where I very unexpectedly found my topic for my Illustration. Jessica Cox was born without arms. More significantly, she is a certified scuba diver, holds two blackbelts in martial arts, and is the very first person to become a certified pilot without arms. I took this photo of her signing her book titled "Disarm Your Limits". Through my editing of the photo I wanted to illustrate and speak on behalf of the handicap community and portray them i...
