Test strips and reflection

So I realized that I have a ton of test strips and I need to figure out what to do with them all. I need to figure out if I want to do another art project with them or something. Here is a picture of them all:

I also just wanted to do a but of reflection from the semester. I have really enjoyed working with black and white film this semester, there are lots of things that I really liked about this class. One of the things that was challenging is that the supplies is so expensive but I don't think there is a way around that. I did a lot of my own printing for friends and family for Christmas gifts and I am really excited to see what everyone thinks.

One of the things I found interesting was the idea of fixing the pinhole photos or the 35mm photos in photo shop to take out some of the dust or other things that may have gotten on the film when really when you are thinking about film and committing to taking film photos I feel like you are committing to those blemishes and the imperfections that film photography brings and I like to embrace those imperfections.

Thanks so much for an awesome semester I have really enjoyed this class!! :)

Sequence, assignment 4

I did two sequences because one of them was reliant on the weather, the first one is of three trees, one with its leaves, one without leaves and one with snow on it. The second sequence is of my cat, she is inside then outside roaming around in the other photos. I really enjoyed working on this project, I found waiting for the perfect weather to get the tree photos was a lot of fun.

Monologue and final project #3

In this project I embrace the messiness that is every day life. The monologue that we had to read for this project talked about the complexity and fluidity of identity. That is why I chose my partner who is non binary and uses they them pronouns as the subject for this piece. It incorporates the idea that there is binary thinking in the world. There is binary thinking but that does not mean we should be thinking as everyone else does. The monologue challenges the notion of fixed categories, this piece embraces the spectrum between chaos. Hugo also speaks to the past, present and future. In these pictures you can depict what happened in the past to make the space the way that it is you can anticipate what is going to happen in the future either a messier room or cleaning of the room and you see what is going on at the moment with the subject doing different activities in the space. I asked my partner for an interpretation of the monologue because they were the subject and I wanted ...

Final photo book

The photo book, candidly queer is a journey through the lives of queer people in southern Alberta. This book shows the different faces of queer individuals. Almost every page in the book is a different format, this is to highlight the differences within the queer community and highlight the nuances of being a queer person and how it strays away from society. Ellie Saunders (she/they) Candidly queer A collection of 2SLGBTQ+ portraits Candidly queer is a photo book built to show the diversity of queer faces and the different identities that can be shown within the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The way this photo book is put together is meant to highlight those points exactly. Pages are all different and are that way to show that no two individuals are the same. For this project I have tried my best to capture individuals in the way that they are most comfortable. I have many people to thank for being part of this project, My friends, partners, family and...
