Make up

2009-05-05T10:25:00.001-07:00

Everything looks different blurry. Its almost odd. I dont know, i just thought this looked really neat.

make up

2009-05-05T10:23:00.001-07:00

This was just a silly picture at first, until i realized that the window picked up all the reflections and i thought it looked really neat.

Make up

2009-05-05T10:20:00.000-07:00

I took this as i was drivning down 21st street. I though it looked so beautiful with the sun behind it.

Would have had this up yesterday, but I had a headache. No one ever really notices the patterns and lines on wood, so I thought I'd do one (if there was someone...sorry). I like all the different kind of patterns and line formations that course all over wood.

I went to my parents house the other day and they said this bird had been in that tree for about 4 days and i thought it looked kind of cool

Austin Breitenstein

2009-05-04T20:05:00.000-07:00

i was at the soccer fields the other day and they had just been mowing and i thought this looked cool

2009-05-04T20:04:00.001-07:00

This is a picture of a wall that had mud splatered on it. I liked this picture because it is evenly space with the splatter.

Austin Breitenstein

2009-05-04T20:03:00.000-07:00

i was at one of my parents friends house and saw these stairs and thought it was really cool looking

Austin Breitenstein

2009-05-04T20:00:00.000-07:00

i was driving through the flint hills and i thought this looked cool

Austin Breitenstein

2009-05-04T19:58:00.000-07:00

a friend of mine sawed a tree down and then saw that looked cool and so he took it.

2009-05-04T19:49:00.000-07:00

took this picture driving back from lawrence

Tim Barnhill 15

2009-05-04T17:28:00.001-07:00

I took this picture in a dark parking lot. I liked this picture because how the lights go together.

Tim Barnhill14

2009-05-04T17:25:00.000-07:00

I took this picture of a light through a tree. I liked this pictue becasue the way the light looked.

2009-05-03T20:56:00.001-07:00

So i got done mowing my parents yard and the yard next to theirs was freshly mowed and it was really apparent the line and movement of this picture.

2009-05-03T20:52:00.000-07:00

This picture stood out to me because of the crazy amount of branches and lines through out the entire picture.

2009-05-03T20:48:00.000-07:00

This picture was really nice with all the texture and the biggest thing that stood out to me first was the line of the shingles.

2009-05-03T20:42:00.000-07:00

I took this picture cause of the random place of the whole in the fence. It was really cool to see all the pattern and texture of the fence.

Ashley Standley #17

2009-05-03T19:09:00.001-07:00

I took this picture while I was riding in the car and I liked how you could kind of see a reflection and how the clouds looked.

Melissa Crossman... many posts...

2009-05-03T16:49:00.001-07:00

I wasn't sure how many more i needed so here's a whole bunch... :-)

WO8

this was a picture of the front end of my grandparents car after a deer ran in front of them. this is an example of chaos. this was the headlight with some of the deer's fur that got caught in it... :-(

WO9

this was the wood steps coming out of my house onto the patio. This was after it had been raining and the steps were just drying. the wet part made the wood look as though it had been scarred.

WO10

i was getting ready to take a picture of my friend with my phone and my phone is really slow at taking the pic so it turned out looking like she was melting or something. there is almost a pattern in the way that the blurs look like waves and the white line going down the left side of the photo.

WO11

so i was playing rummy with my grandparents and i threw all the cards on the table and scattered them out to take some pics. i used a color effect on my camera and it turned out really neat. i love how the top card in the pile is the most in focus and the most detailed and all the rest seem to blur and fade around the edges.

WO12

okay so this is in my grandma's Santa Room. yes.... she has a santa room and it stays up year round. 99.9% of the santas in this room she has crafted herself. This picture shows me my grandma's love and devotion. She loves her family and she cherishes her history. When she was a kid they didn't get to celebrate Christmas and when we were growing up she has always made sure that we all had Christmas. She has devoted many hours to what she loves, what she does, and what she wants to make sure all of us have. The shelves were put in for all of her stuff by my grandpa and how they meet up in the center of the photo makes it look like its rays or something. this photo also represents chaos and abundance.

WO13

This is one branch of the family tree. this is an example of pattern. I couldn't figure out how to flip the picture. (so if it was turned the correct way...) at the top is photos of my grandpa and grandma when they were little kids. the middle row is my aunt, uncle, and mother when they were 1 year old. this row ranges from oldest first to youngest last. in the bottom row is my cousin (my aunts daughter), my 2nd cousin (her son) and me. this row is organized this way because my uncle has never had a kid, and my cousins and i are all only children. all of these pictures are also our 1 year old pictures. you can also see in the photos the relativity to age in the coloring and clarity of the photos. I also love to look at these photos and see the resemblance in all of our pictures.

WO14

so this is the center of the commons area at the high school I attended. This represents line in many forms. the ceiling itself had a ton of lines going in many different directions and it was sometimes chaotic. when I helped them decorate this year for their prom, they used long pieces of sheer fabric to kind of make a tent in the center. when you are standing directly beneath it, it has many rays that look like a sunburst or something.

WO15

this is a magnolia tree i believe and i thought it was a beautiful representation of springtime. you can still see the bareness of the branches but in the forefront there is big beautiful blooms of magnolias. i love how on each petal there are so many different shades. at the center of each flower, it is a really deep dark purple-y pink color and as you move to the tips of each petal it is almost white. the color just fades out and it is really pretty.

the diving bell and the butterfly post

I took a picture of a neon light in my room through my curtains. they are a sheer zebra print and i thought it turned out pretty cool. I love how it kind of captures my personality in one photo. i love how you can almost see individual threads in the curtain too... it almost reminds me of light shining down through the clouds when you can see different rays of light.

This is a picture of a tree in the lonesome. i really enjoyed this picture because of the oddity of the tree being in the middle of the flood all by its self.

Last Sunday observation

2009-05-03T14:44:00.001-07:00

So this is a pic of my cat. I was trying to take a cute pic of him and
right when I snap it he yawns. It actually turned out cooler this way.
Wasn't even planning on using it as an observation but I liked the
image I captured

Ashley Standley #16

2009-05-03T08:11:00.001-07:00

I was laying on my friends bed watching the fan spin because i was bored. I like all the black around the edges and how its blury until you get to the center where the light bulbs are.

Ashley Standley #15

2009-05-03T08:08:00.000-07:00

I took this picture of the grass in my back yard. The lines from mowing it make a pattern and I kinda liked it.

Ashley Standley #14

2009-05-03T07:59:00.001-07:00

I took this picture at my friends apartment. He had cut out the fronts of beer cases and put them on his wall like wall paper. I thought it was pretty creative.

Joshua Hugo, #16

2009-05-01T22:08:00.001-07:00

I found this to pretty cool when I found the right lighting position. It was actually pretty close to this look...I just had to move in position while taking shots. I like how the light in the center focuses your eye away from the shadows.

Friday observation

2009-05-01T20:48:00.001-07:00

I took this pic while washing my clothes. I like the different shapes
the suds make on the glass

Blog

2009-05-01T15:31:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of my brush. It shows alot of texture because of the hair and beacause of the brush prickles. It also shows pattern in the brush.

Blog

2009-05-01T15:28:00.000-07:00

This is a picture I took looking throught a perfume bottle. You are able to see all the things behind the bottle and everything is in almost the same color.

5 Closing Observations

2009-04-30T16:06:00.000-07:00

These are my last observations. The shoes represents pattern (dress up top, tennis shoes on bottom), the sun is fighting thru clouds after a storm passes, the plants represent color and life, and the messy bed represents our busy life as its just the way I left it in the morning. I like to think that these pictures along with all pictures tell a story.

2009-04-29T21:54:00.000-07:00

We...have an access of wires...everywhere it seems. It's a big fire hazard, but it also allowed me an opportunity at a pic to represent access and line.

2009-04-29T21:38:00.000-07:00

i took this picture on my back porch of my porch light. really liked the soft glow that centers at the meeting of these two lines - wed post josh funk

Wednesday observation

2009-04-29T14:02:00.001-07:00

This is a pic of a glass of wine. I noticed that under light it left a
really neat red reflection on the paper

2009-04-29T13:55:00.000-07:00

2009-04-28T20:43:00.000-07:00

okay so the reason this picture is so awesome is because i was trying to cover the flash on my camera so that it wouldnt eliminate the reflection i was trying to capture but instead it gave the appearance that the picture itself is red when really its not.

2009-04-28T20:30:00.000-07:00

I just really liked this color combination. this towel is a formal element all in itself:)

Joshua Hugo #14

2009-04-27T21:19:00.001-07:00

Never noticing, even though I have Indian in me. Dreamcatchers are perfect unintended pattern woven together. It actually looks like a spider web.

Friday's performance....

Monday observation

2009-04-27T20:37:00.000-07:00

Is it a UFO?? LOL no. It's a pic looking up at my fan going with the
lights on. I love the way a camera can capture light and a moving
object and make it look so mysterious

Tim Barnhill 4/27

2009-04-27T13:33:00.001-07:00

I took this picture of a puddle after the rain. I liked this picture because all the ground around was dry except were the puddle was.

Tim Barnhill 4/26

2009-04-27T13:31:00.000-07:00

I took this picture driving in the rain on sunday. I like who it looks kind of blurry and all you can see are the dark clouds in the sky.

Ashley Standley #13

2009-04-27T13:21:00.000-07:00

I took this picture outside of my house during the storm on Sunday. I liked how the sky went from light to dark.

Ashley Standley #12

2009-04-27T13:18:00.001-07:00

I took this picture on a nice day and I really liked the colors in the sky. I also like the way the clouds look different in the distance than they look at the front.

Brian Beyer #16

2009-04-27T09:32:00.001-07:00

This is another one of my reckless driving photos, I happened to drive past a ton of police cars on the other side of the highway and their lights turned out looking really neat with the rain and movement again. I really like how their blue and red lights kind turned into a purple.

Brian Beyer #15

2009-04-27T09:28:00.000-07:00

so since I know Kristin loves pictures from cars I decided to do some dangerous driving and took some pictures. This is a picture of some street lights and the rain along with me driving kinda blurred the light in and interesting way I thought. it kinda shows movement and creates unintended patterns with the light

Brian Beyer #14

2009-04-27T09:22:00.000-07:00

This is another photo I took from the 18th floor. I like how the reflection changes it a little. at first I only meant to take a picture of the pattern the parking spaces made but with both I think it turned out neat.

Brian Beyer #13

2009-04-27T09:12:00.000-07:00

so this picture I took while at my sisters prom Saturday. while she was hanging out with her friends I decided to take advantage of being in such a tall building. I took this picture and many others from the 18th floor. I think it really shows how the weather was Saturday before it had rained a lot.

Joshua Hugo, Weekly #13(? I'm losing track) April 26, 2009

2009-04-26T21:15:00.000-07:00

Took this around 11:05 tonight. This is after the big part of the storm passed. This is my street flooded outside. In the darker one, there are some cars partly submerged in the water. I thought this would fit the chaos theme pretty well, since Mother Nature can be a little hard to handle.

Roberta Austin Weekly Observation

2009-04-26T21:14:00.000-07:00

This is a picture I just took of the river formerly known as Hiram. I loved the way the lights from Davis were reflecting on the water.

2009-04-26T20:23:00.000-07:00

I like how the trees are all on the right side of the pond creating different lines and shadows in the water.

Final Friday Kris Kuksi

2009-04-26T20:19:00.000-07:00

This weekend I went up to Fort Hays to see some Friends, and Kris Kuksi is the art professor. His stuff is needless to say amazing! I was just walking through and I saw this sculpture, and then saw the painted spider. They both are very detailed show a lot of thought.

2009-04-26T20:16:00.001-07:00

As i was driving home sunday morning from Lawrence it was raining and i really liked how the raind drops looked on my winshield. How because of the speed i was going it looks like the raid drops are going up my winshield and they make lines

Kelsey Lee #17

2009-04-26T20:14:00.000-07:00

I took this as it was raining tonight. I wanted to be able to see the tons of rain in the background, but I couldn't get it to work. But I love the contrast of the photo, and the angle of the umbrella.

Kelsey Lee #16

2009-04-26T20:13:00.001-07:00

I love the angle of this picture. I wanted the tire to blur because it was moving, but my camera was set on a setting too fast for that. I love the line in the photo and the contrast as well.

Sunday observation

2009-04-26T18:37:00.001-07:00

This is a pic I took after it stormed. I liked the big rain drops on
my window as well as the storm clouds in the background

Kelsey Lee #15

2009-04-26T16:42:00.000-07:00

I love the colors in this photograph. This is just a sign I came across and I love how unique it is. The colors with the rust and the different orientations of the signs make the photo a lot better.

Kelsey Lee #14

2009-04-26T16:39:00.000-07:00

I took this photo thru a waterfall, and I absolutely love the blur of the water in this photo. It looks like a special made glass window. But if you look really closely in the right half of the waterfall, it looks as if there are two faces looking at each other. Maybe its just my imaginiation, but I love that effect in this photo.

Kelse Lee #13

2009-04-26T16:37:00.000-07:00

I was going to just delete this photo because it was out of focus, bu then I looked at it and I realized that is why I like it so much. You can still see the colors and the pattern and the line, its just a different out of focus perspective.

Observation 4/19

2009-04-20T11:57:00.001-07:00

I took this picture of the sun setting behind some trees. I liked this pictue because the way the colors change from blue to orange in the sky.

2009-04-20T05:38:00.000-07:00

This is a picture I took at the Allen-Lambe House by Frank Lloyd Wright. In this picture you can see the front of the house and backyard lined by a wall with large concrete plant holders. To the far left you can see the Gardeners house that was intended to be a garage.

2009-04-20T00:16:00.000-07:00

I was just messing around the ohter day, and thought this little Boa Charlie had a great deal of patterns on him. I wish I would have thought to have taken him outside and seen him against something that he could have blended into. O Well.

2009-04-19T22:17:00.000-07:00

i thought this kind of wen with Frank Lord Wright becase if you look closely it has very deep grooves then it has shallow grooves just like he made the bricks on his house look

Joshua Hugo, April 19, 2009 #12?

2009-04-19T21:23:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of one of my katana sheathes. Believe it or not, it's actually supposed to be black with little amounts of dark red. I like how all the lighter red marks look like they are indented or scratched into the surface of the sheath. The design looks like a chaotic painting.

Mike G Lewis WO12

2009-04-19T21:19:00.000-07:00

I took this picture while i was driving around my friends land making sure the fire was burning where it was supposed to and thought the ground and smoke made a pretty cool design with the background of the sky and clouds

2009-04-19T21:06:00.000-07:00

I just liked the way the light looked when you take the picture of it moving

2009-04-19T20:22:00.000-07:00

this is my photo for the movie

Kelsey Lee

2009-04-19T18:25:00.000-07:00

I took this picture while I was walking around campus at WSU. I love how the whole hose is wrapped around in a big circle, except this little piece that makes a circle itself. I also love the contrast in the color from the ground to the hose.

Observation blog

2009-04-19T15:59:00.000-07:00

So this is a pic looking down at a candle I had lit. I really like how
the fire reflects on the sides of the candle jar and I also like the
angle of the pic. Looking down a cylindrical jar

2009-04-19T14:25:00.000-07:00

I kind of want to take this picture into photoshop and see if I can make a cool abstract piece with it. It's a close up picture of a bottle of water taken with my phone.

2009-04-19T14:20:00.000-07:00

This is a reflection of my keyboard on my lamp. I really like how the blue stands out so much. It kinda reminds me of a lightsaber...

2009-04-19T14:03:00.000-07:00

This was taken in Nebraska while I was at a track meet. I was wondering around their campus and their floor was really trippy and had a lot of movement to it, so I took a picture!

2009-04-19T14:00:00.000-07:00

This picture was taken at WSU in one of their art buildings. They were long strips of cloth, probably 20+ feet, and I thought it looked really cool standing underneath them and looking up.

2009-04-19T13:57:00.000-07:00

I thought this was a pretty interesting picture. I took it while getting a tour at a graphic design business. I liike the repetition of lines and the light from the sun coming through the blinds..

Kansas Heritage, WO#13

2009-04-17T05:57:00.000-07:00

I thought this pic captures a natural Kansas landscape. It has the Windmill, small dwellings, and farm land.

Project

2009-04-16T15:09:00.000-07:00

Its a little late but this is my project that was due Wednesday. I thought the blurry lines of light were a perfect fit for this assignment.

Brian Beyer

2009-04-16T13:40:00.000-07:00

This is a picture I took coming out of BTB Monday, I just thought that I would take advantage of the flowers being in bloom. I just thought it was interesting the pattern in the flowers that are all pretty much the same and even though we do not usually look in flowers or at them this closely we still recognize it as one.

Diving Bell

2009-04-15T19:40:00.000-07:00

I took this picture through a toilet paper roll and it reminded me of the movie because it was just what was in direct sight because the toilet paper roll did not allow me to see anything else besides what i was looking at directly

2009-04-13T08:54:00.000-07:00

this is a picture of the roots of a tree...i thought i was kind of chaotic at first but if you keep lookin its almost like they make a pattern on the ground

Kelsey Lee

2009-04-13T07:17:00.001-07:00

You can't really tell in the picture, but the bird is singing and it was swiveling its head. It was really cool to watch. I love the pattern on the tree, and the contrast from one side of the picture to the other. But I think the bird makes the whole photo.

Broken Windshield, WO#12

2009-04-13T07:00:00.000-07:00

On an old car out at our farmhouse, I found this broken windshield, and liked the pattern this had.

Observation apr 12

2009-04-13T06:42:00.001-07:00

This is a pic I took on a rainy morning. The drops of water and the
color of the sky were really pretty to me

Joshua Hugo, April 12, 2009- #12

2009-04-12T21:55:00.001-07:00

I took this during the rainstorm this evening. I didn't actualy mean for this to happen either, But I noticed all the little light dots. I realize it's probably rain...but when I look at them, it reminds me of spirit orbs (orbs of spirits/ghosts), giving it a very spritual feel...and hey, it's Easter...a very spritual day.

2009-04-12T21:44:00.001-07:00

I was at a friends house over the weekend and i had noticed that his closet was color coded and he didnt even mean to do it. I thought the random pattern was kind of cool.

Olivia See # 12

2009-04-12T20:57:00.001-07:00

I took this picture of my friend jumping in the pile of rain! I love all the unintended pattern in the splashes and the circles the water splashes make!

Mike G Lewis WO12

2009-04-12T19:19:00.000-07:00

I took this picture though the lenses of my oakleys...I thought it was neat how the reflection of my hat showed up so clear and focused mainly on the reflection isnt of the road

2009-04-12T18:18:00.001-07:00

I took this picture cause I liked the colors no homo.. but this picture is very colorful and I thought it was interesting

2009-04-12T15:39:00.000-07:00

After I got off work I was taking a couple pictures and I really liked the water spots on my windshield. The Drops are very close, but there is a lot of depth to this picture as well.

Brian Beyer

2009-04-10T21:15:00.001-07:00

So this is a picture I took of a garden like area. I thought it was a really nice looking place and note worthy because it shows how pretty natural things can be- even if trees and other plants might have been arranged purposefully to make them look better there are somethings that men can't do to make them beautiful, they just are.

Olivia See Diving Bell

2009-04-09T10:15:00.000-07:00

I took this picture of my lights above my mirror. I layered it by putting a target sack over my lenses. i reminded me of the diving bell. Just things are blurred sometimes not always crystal clear.

2009-04-08T20:41:00.000-07:00

I took this picture of my German shepard J.D. the other day and really liked how it came out. His eyes are cloudy and gray , and everything is up close. It honestly reminded me of a zombie movie where animals and people transform into zombies. May sound stupid but that what i thought about. He is getting ready to attack!

Sunset thru Sunglasses, Dive Bell Photo

2009-04-08T06:33:00.001-07:00

I took this photo through my aviators and thought it was a cool pic even though it is a little dark. If you look real close, there is a small shadow of a cross right in the middle of the photo.

2009-04-07T21:03:00.000-07:00
