Artsist Statement: These do images are of a lemon cut in half. I like lemons because they remind me of funny memories I've shared with my family. In the first, I placed it on a bush to get that background. In Lemonade Mouth, I used the filter color halftone. On both I adjusted the curves, brightness, and exposure.
Artsist Statement: These are both photos of a tile I made at a camp last summer. They say "End Alz" which is short for End Alzheimer's. Unfortunately my grandpa (Papa) was diagnosed with this disease in 2011 and passed away two months ago. He is a very special person in my life. In the second photo I used the filter crystallize.
Artist Statement:These are both images of a Catholic cross called the San Damiano. It spoke to St. Francis which is why it is the cross that hangs in the St. Francis of Assisi church in Ann Arbor. It is special to me because it reminds me of my time as a student at St. Francis and I won it when I won the Religion Award there. I love the story behind it and St. Francis is also very inspirational. I used the Mosaic filter in the second photo.
Artist Statement: This is my dad's New York Police Department hat. It is special to me because my three uncles on my dad's side, my grandpa, and my aunts all are/have been in the NYPD. They have done many things that have helped their community immensely and they are very inspiring to me. In the second photo I used the filter pointalize.
