Photography

Down at old Del Mar

Take a train. take a plane, take a car. Or so the classic jingle us San Diegans are so familiar with around these summer months goes. The two pictures above are the pictures I recently entered in the Del Mar Fair. These are not exactly the best pictures I have ever taken, but they are by no means a disappointment either.
Getting the pictures in by the deadline was a little hectic, but other then that this unofficial assignment was rather enjoyable. I got to work with black and white film again, which was fun. I chose to work in black and white because there is just a certain pureness to black and white photography that is hard to capture with a digital camera. I also got to hang out with my friend [Model in photo1], who doesn't attend my school. In the midst of all the studying and final projects it was such a relief being able to just take a walk and go exploring.
The first picture, as I said before is of my friend Anna and the second picture is of this little red riding hood teapot I have had ever since I was a little girl. The reason I like these two pictures is because I was able to capture a good feeling while being creative. Both pictures in a way remind me of my childhood. The first one reminds me of how me and my friend used to go exploring when we were younger, and the second reminds of this beautiful little store that sold dolls and tea sets that I would always go to when I was very little.
Putting the incentive of a free Del mar fair ticket aside, I am very happy I took the time to take these pictures .
