Just a bunch of cotton in a field in the middle of Thatcher, Arizona. Warm, fluffy, white, snow-like fields that go on forever. Beautiful. Just an unedited snapshot taken through a window as we drove back home.
I made my family stop on our journey to Arizona just so I could take this picture. I literally hiked up a hill on the side of a highway and try to take this photo as quickly as possible as to not keep my family waiting. I wanted this particular shot because first of all the cactus that I used as a focal point was the perfect typical cactus. Second it was overlooking Roosevelt lake, and that with the clouds made a lovely background. I added the sepia tones and the colored cactus to draw more focus onto the cactus and give the photo that vintage-western look.
Arizona sunset. I took this while attending a family party held at Thatcher park. The sunset just happened to be absolutely stunning and I had my camera so I walked over to the lovely tree and took a picture. I like how the tree kind of helps frame the sunset and add texture without taking away and of the color or focus. No-edit :)
A note from a dear friend. I wanted it to focus on the word 'smile' and have the heart in the frame as well so I folded the note slightly, held it up to a light, and snapped the shot. Simple.
Piano shots are common, but I wanted one of my own. I used the sheet music of 'Claire De Lune' and had my brother hold the music against the piano while I focused the perfect shot.
This would be my flute displayed across the song 'Andalouse'. It was difficult to get the angle and portions of the flute right to make it recognizable as a flute while still keeping an interesting perspective. I wish I would've used less sunlight and more artificial light (which is opposite of what I normally say) because I liked the coloring of the piano photo, which used all artificial light, compared to the all natural lit flute photo. But yeah, it is what it is.
