Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams, one of the worlds most known photographers, didn't begin his career the way you would think. In the beginning, Ansel had a hard time in school, he delt with constant bullying from others, he also had a difficult time learning. Ansel was bullied because of his nose, which was disfigured after breaking it in an earthquake. Later he was home schooled by his father and aunt, and he later was sent to a private school.
While being in school, Ansel managed to teach himself to play the piano, not only that but he taught himself to read music. While he enjoyed his time playing the piano, it  was his future career for 12 years, until he found himself in the field of photography. To start his dream of on two feet, his first fully visualized photo was published in 1927, and it's name was, Monolith, The Face Of The Half Dome. Around 1930 Ansel met Paul Strand, who changed Adams photography completely. Strand influenced Adams to move towards "Straight photography" , which is what he soon mastered.
Soon later, he published his own book called , "Making a photograph", which came out in 1935. His fame was rapidly rising. Except he wasn't rich like you would think. Ansel Adams was a struggling man, as he was usually broke. But throughout life, he lived happily, and he became something other than 'a kid with a odd nose.'

I chose to use this picture of Ansel Adams because I love the sky against the small village. I absolutely love how the moon is so bright against the dark sky. I also really like how much of the sky is in the picture compared to the ground. It shows how small this village is compared to everything around it.

Found Panaramic

 I chose this panoramic photo because I really love the colors that are cast down onto the water, and the way the sky fades into darkness. The bridge is the main focal point of the photo and almost divides the photo in half with light and dark.

 I chose this panoramic photo because I think this panoramic photo is perfect timing. I love how the photographer got birds within each of the three photos. It gives the picture tons of movement.

Found Faces Story

   Hello! My name is Keeva Duffy. I am from Ireland, hence the name Keeva Duffy. Being from Ireland, my family is quite Irish. My family is quite small including my mother, Radinka Duffy, my father, Caius Duffy, and my little brother, Atticus Duffy.  We tend to be quite a loud and odd family but that's what makes us creative!
   Based upon my photo, you are probably curious on what I do for a living, right? Well As you can see I am a young trashcan, and my job is to eat paint. If this job isn't creative I honestly don't know what is! I love my job so much, because I get to eat so many different colors! It makes me feel very pretty. I honestly feel like I am the luckiest trashgirl in the world because I get to do this everyday, except sometimes it does get boring, so I have to find things to do.
    One thing I like to do is put on lipstick. This may sound like a weird past time, but I have the perfect job for it! Whenever I eat a color that I really like, for example pink, I will wipe it onto my lips. It is a little bit difficult without a mirror, but I think I have got the hang of it. Although this may be cool, it isn't my best talent. I have kept this a secret for a very long time, but I might as well tell it. I have a hidden talent. When no one is looking I can paint murals in my stomach; which is technically just my can. Nobody knows about this because no one has actually seen these murals. But let me tell you, I should be famous. I have yet to come across somebody with this hidden talent.
 Well I have to go, dinner is almost ready! We are having used spaghetti and trash balls. Woo! I hope you enjoyed learning about me.
