My Gorgeous Shoes!

As I began this project I had no idea of what to do, so I just decided to take pictures of one of my favorite hobbies which is buying shoes. Most girls can't have enough shoes, and I'm one of does girls. Shoes are like a drug for me! I have all kinds of styles of shoes from the comfy flip flop sandals, to my girly party stilettos, my fabulous UGGS I can't live without, Black boots, brown boots, peep toe shoes, ballerina flats, summer platforms, work closed toe heels, and of course let's not forget sneakers. These shoes are just a very small portion of all the shoes that I own.

I wasn't to happy with my images because they where pretty bad, but as soon as I started working on them they were starting to convince me. When I ordered my Kodak accordion card I was so excited:) My shoes looked FABULOUS!!! My husband didn't even believe that I did that work, so I  can say I'm proud of my first photography project. Looking forward to do the next project.

Edward Burtynsky

I have had the opportunity before to see Edward Burtynsky's work before, and I was actually amazed to see the pictures of the factories in China. I never exactly new how big the industries were in China, it's pretty interesting. Some of the images that caught my attention were the buildings that were being cleaned out to make room for the ships to come in, and I was shocked to hear that the people that lived their before were the ones helping. I wonder if does people have a home? how did that work? 

Most of the pictures of Beijing looked like there is only buildings and not that many trees. I can't imagine how the air quality is with all that toxicity, and waste from all does factories, and not many trees to produce oxygen. As I mentioned in my past Blog  I'm happy were I live at. I don't think I would be able to live in a place were everything is so fast paced. I need peace,trees and clean air to breath.

James Nachtwey

As I watched the video on Nachtwey's photography I was a bit disturbed by the images, but I then realyzed that, that's what's going on in this world we live in. We always like to see the beauty of things, but not the ugly part. Sometimes you tend to forget that there are a lot of issues going on in example; war, poverty, natural disasters, diseases,and so on. Natchtwey's pictures for me were a reminder of reality, and that not everything is beautiful.  Great photography in it's own special way. Every time I see images like the ones on this video makes me value, and appreciate what I have. Sometimes we take things for granted, and we shouldn't because many people out there would want the type of life we have.
