Random

^Amelia Island, one of the most boring beaches ever to exist, literally filled with the elderly. This was after a storm, and all of this salty foam came up onto the beach. i don't know these people and they're not posing. i like the composition of this photograph, with the two front people looking in different ways, and the two children in the back ground standing together, single file, it seems like they are watching something very ominous out at sea. the man carrying his wake board seems to be struggling against strong wind, but the two children standing together seem like an impenetrable force that the storm can not break. 
^Isle of Palms. digital black and whites are not my favorite,  but this one is alright i suppose. 
^North Carolina. 
^this picture seems juvenile to me. like something i would see on thirteen-year-old-me's myspace. 
^Coney Island. i like this picture, focus on emphasis, the larva looks larger than life. 
^Coney Island, i like everything about this picture. the composition, and the irony of the writing at the bottom of the door. 
These are random pictures from my old computer.

photography 2

^Hilli Levine with Dr. Miller's horse
Top and Bottom right corners need to be better burnt in. 
i love the composition in this one. 
^the entire right side needs to be burnt in, as well as the top left corner. 
taken at an old car dealership on Broad St. 
^the bottom of the print got ripped, the top left corner is too light. obviously needs to be burnt in,, will be reprinted. 

prints made last year, spring 09', in photography two class.

Lookout Mtn

you would think i would have more pictures of my home.. 

Winter '08

^lookout mtn
^US Pipe

^Dominican Republic. 

Folly Beach '08


^wide angle shots. 
^i took this as soon as i woke up one morning. the contrasting of cools and darks is really appealing to me, and every time i look at this picture it reminds me of the coolness of fall. 
^this is such a generic shot, but focus is something i always like to play with. and after looking at it for awhile, i like the faint red in the back ground, it really helps connect this photo with the rest of the series. 

^the reds in this picture are obviously appealing to the eye, especially with the grey of the rest of the picture. the composition in this picture is what i really like about it though,,, 
^this is the only edited photo... 
i don't really like it. 

These are all such a high resolution that they look blurry.,, they're really not, i just don't have an editing system that allows me to make the resolution smaller. 
These were shot on the Folly Beach walkabout trip.

Ireland '08


^these are Film, B&W. Too Dark, will be reprinted, and the scanner has made them look slightly awkward.. The two horses in these photos are a Mother horse and her foal. they weren't wild horses, but they were kept in a field far away from their owner's house. i spent about an hour with about four or five of these horses, their field had one of the oldest and original churches built on it, centered around an ancient well.  


^the last three photographs were taken at St. Bridgid's Well, outside of Kildare. 
^these are apartments in the town of Kildare
^these two were shot while hiking the Wicklow Way trails in Glendalough 

^these were shot on our way to the Aran Islands 

^this wire has wool tangled on it. In Ireland, especially the Aran Islands, the stray wool that comes off of the sheep floats around like lost souls. 

^this was shot off of the cliffs at DĂșn Aonghasa. 


^These were all shot on the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland 

These were taken in Ireland the summer of 2008

Tampa



These were shot during crew season, spring of 08'. 

Winter '07

^this is at a homeless camp underneath I-24. i like how lonely this shoe seems. it doesn't even have it's match. the lighting makes this picture seem cold, it really reminds me of winter-time.
^Laura Dunn. Verve '07 her face seems flawless in this shot, and i like how she isn't wearing makeup 
these pictures were shot in the winter of 2007.
