The Color Red

One of the rules for designing the picture space that we talked about in class was that red attracts more attention than other colors. This intrigued me when I heard it so I did some research on this matter. It turns out that there is a natural and subconscious response to this color as shown by the experiments done on this web page.

Danny Steyn

I was thinking if I were to be a professional photographer, what kind of photographer would I like to be. At first I thought of Sports Illustrated and Eastman's Hunting Journal would be cool jobs. Then I thought a little bit harder and decided that I would want to be like Danny Steyn. Steyn is a professional bikini photographer in Florida. I would like to do this because I would have set light and not have to worry about taking pictures during dusk or dawn.

This is a picture of a girl in a white bikini with brown hair. I like how the background in the left picture is more blurry than that of the right picture.

Olivia Hobby

Because I still haven't taken any pictures, I decided to do another photographer. This amateur photographer is Olivia Hobby. She is a family friend and I think that she did my sister's senior pictures this year.

This is a picture of my sister, Emily, in black and white. She is sitting on a chair overlooking a body of water.


This is also a picture of my sister. I don't like it as much in color because it appears that she is wearing too much makeup.

This is another picture of my sister by the log cabin that my family has been staying at while building our new house.

Greg Wise

Greg Wise is a local photographer in my hometown of Powell, Wyoming. He takes pictures of our high school sport teams and then some. When I was in high school, he captured a few photos of myself on the field. Even though I started varsity since the start of my sophomore year and my team won two state championships, my football career was filled with a lot of sorrow.



This is a photo that Greg took of me (white #66) during our state championship game that we won against Douglas on 11/11/2011. That Douglas player was lucky that I was nursing a shoulder injury or else he probably would have wound up on his backside.


This was taken during my senior year of high school. One week before the season started, I suffered a career ending knee injury where I tore my MCL, ACL, and PCL in my right knee. I spent the majority of the season on crutches feeling helpless.
