Basically, gardens are what make some people happy. They provide color, they give everyone a pretty thing to look at, and bees (I'm sure) are eternally grateful. Marianne Majerus, who is extremely talented, is known for taking photos of gardens (although she does have some portraits that are quite good), She's gotten seven awards (including the 2015 UK Garden Media Guild 'Book Photographer of the Year' for Garden Design: A Book of Ideas by Mitchell Beazley.) and has had her work published in counless books. Gardens, how do these photos show Gardens, you ask? How DON'T they? All of the photos use natural light provided by THE SUN, and all of them show, at least in part someones' life, and what they've worked for. Since no garden is the same, anything can be considered a garden (for some reason I've always thought of cemeteries as stone gardens) I really appreciate how the shadows really go with the patterns of the stones in the water. The way the fish are just moving makes me so happy, And the branch reaching over the water makes my eye move around the picture really makes me happy because it's PERFECT. I can honestly say that it's the most perfect photo iv'e ever taken. I already like taking pictures of outside and gardens, so I really enjoyed seeing someone who takes pictures like I do.

I tried to do a day in the life of my sister, but I hardly ever get to see her so it was kind of difficult. Also, I couldn't get the images to rearrange, so they're not in order. But yeah, it was supposed to show Abby getting ready for her day, but that idea went to crap as she was only at our house for one day. I tried as best as i could, but I could have done better. Much better.
I had a really hard time with this project. I couldn't find what I needed for it, and when I did I couldn't find the right way to take it. I guess the books turned out okay, but I don't think they're all that good. I can't even think of a way to make them better, this was so hard for me. If I tried harder they might be a little better.
I actually really liked this project. The concept was really interesting and I think that my pictures are pretty good. My favorite picture is the stop sign in front of the park, I think that the brightness of the little structure really makes the picture stand out.
I think the strongest picture is the full-color of my sister, it's just really bright compared to what I usually do, and she looks really happy. I think that if I had more bright pictures it would make them go together more. But they all turned out really well.
I took all of these in a span of about 20 minutes, and I think that they all turned out really well. I think the strongest one is the black and White one (why did I say that they're all black and white) with the flash of my giant dog. I just think that it looks really good and stuff.
I literally took these the night before it was due, so they're kind of rushed, but I still think they turned out really well. The one that I think turned out the best is probably the candid photo of my sister (I also took one in black and white, but she said she looked fat) I think that if I took my time instead of rushing (and I had a more willing model), they would have turned out better.
I think the best one in this group is the clouds through the skylight, i think it's a really cool way to see the clouds. I know I put 1 that I used already but I think that it ties into the subject.
The one that I would say is the strongest is the one I took in the side-view mirror of the car. I think that, considering it was taken on impulse, it turned out very well. The blurriness around the mirror makes the clearness of the mirror stand out and look aesthetically pleasing. The time-stamp, I find, adds character to the images.
