Portrait of a stranger

This photo was taken in Towers Dining Hall. I was minding my own business taking pictures of random people when this girl, who later introduced herself as Julie offered to pose as a stranger for this project. I told her I wanted to take a funny picture so she decided to make this face. She had just eaten hot pizza so her glasses were a little foggy. Otherwise, she looks pretty happy.

I really liked the way this photo turned out. If you look closely, you can see some snowflakes falling down and the many inches of snow we've accumulated over the last few days. This picture shows me at my best- smiling and happy. Who wouldn't be happy on a snow day? Although I would rather be laying on a warm sunny beach off the coast of Florida :)


Portrait of a friend



Katie Siegfried is one of the five Katie's I've met this year.These pictures were both taken in front of a quilt in her room. Here, she is portrayed as a serious and formal person. However, serious and formal do not describe Katie's personality.She has an extremely bubbly attitude and is always laughing. I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I posted both the color and sepia photos. In the sepia photo, it almost looks as if Katie is part of the quilt. It's difficult to decide where the quilt starts and where her body picks up because they blend together.
