Printed Photo

My design final today consisted of turning in a bunch of work and printing this photo out. Its my first professionally printed out work which will hang above my bed in my new place. Yay!

The photo was taken in Mali on my Sony Cybershot DSC-H10. I almost threw it out but then thought it looked really cool focused on the window of the bus instead of the sunset outside. It took three proof prints in CMYK mode on my professors professional printer before we gave up and printed in RGB. I don't understand how to make all that work yet. The print is drying in his office right now but when I get it and get it framed it's 17"x22". Quite large!

:)

If I think about it tonight I'll link to the large photo.

Photography Contest

The following photos were entered in the Microsoft ProPhoto Contest to show off my work and try to win $20,000. I figured it couldnt hurt to enter since I already had some beautiful photos from my trip to Mali. The categories were: landscapes, people & portraits, and sports & photojournalism. Since I don't particularly care about sports and didn't have any truly outstanding landscapes, I submitted the maximum three photos all in one category - people.








Contest ends April 30, 2009.
