WATERSCAPES
Most of these photos, you have already seen in different blogposts, but I wanted to gather all of them together and share them in one post. While in Portugal, I became fascinated with the river and the ocean and how the water always looks so different in every photo, how much strength the waves could have, beating down on you while you are trying to keep standing up in the breakers, the water pulling on pushing on your legs and the sand swallowing your feet a little bit more with every passing wave. Living so close to the ocean and always having a view at the river Tejo around the corner, really changed how the city felt. I miss having such openness and immensity so close.

THE WALL – part two
THE WALL
So I seem to have a slight obsession with photographing walls… Don’t judge me, I blame it on professional deformation.
ABSTRACT
Remember last week’s photography post? I loved reading all of your suggestions of what I might have photographed, but I think it’s time to reveal the mystery! I noticed gorgeous shadows from plants outside of the window on our kitchen cupboards. The doors are white and very reflective, which is probably why some of you thought I photographed reflections on a water surface. In the last photo you can actually see me in the reflection, sitting on the floor (no, that’s not a dolphin’s tail, as one of you suggested!) and in the first one you can see a reflection of said window.
But I did photograph reflections on a water surface, which you can see in these first two photos.
These last three photos remind me of double exposures, but they’re actually not. Curious?

PS. While you’re reading this, I’m taking my first exam… Wish me luck!
CAMERA OBSCURA
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it yet, but I started studying photography at SLAC this school year. Most of my work you’ve seen already, except for the photos I made for the camera obscura assignment. The assignment was simple: drill a hole in the middle of the camera cap, cover it up with tin foil and make a hole in the middle of the tinfoil with a needle. Replace the lens of your camera with this cap, and start snapping away! These are the photos that didn’t make the cut, as the combination of the subject and the pinhole camera made for very hazy images. I do find them quite poetic, so I figured I’d share them anyway. Next week I’ll show you the photos that I did hand in!
