In high school, I took a summer course developing black and white film and forgot how much I loved it! For this assignment, we had to produce 8  8X10 images depicting motion, light, shadows, pattern, texture, repetition, and two other things that I cannot remember. These are my photos:

This final photo was my favorite. Our next assignment was to select a photo from this collection and blow it up to a 16 X 20 and I chose this one. It was a very difficult picture to do in that it involved a lot of “burning” and “dodging” where you mainipulate the light exposed to your paper for different amounts of time. This way, you add more light to a speficic spot by “burning” or use less light in a specific spot by “dodging”. I used this technique on the majority of my photos but this one took the most work.
