- I was uncertain on my intention going into this project. It was the stamp duplicate tool. I was simple playing around with the picture and was excited to come up with something good.

-At first I was unable to figure out how to use the tool. Was not adding new layers, so i was having very little luck. When I finally was able to duplicate the building. I was quite shocked with how well the building copied.

-The most succesful part of the photo, in my opinion, is how well the duplicte building came out.

-If i go back to edit the image again, now knowing burn, dodge and other image enhancements I would spruce the rest of the image up. Including shading the background building to make it more prominent.

Portraits

 My first two images where taken while me and three friends of mine when hiking in southern Utah about three weeks ago. I thought the idea of natural setups behind a portrait was the best way to go about it. I have never been a big fan of portraits with a simple white background. I tried to find images that had the ability to show how these two felt, while still having good texture in the backgrounds. The first one was of my buddy Ben. He was not a huge fan of me asking to take a portrait and he was actually mid-hitting the camera from my hand, however i think the picture worked out well. The other one of another buddy. I thought this picture showed how cold and miserable he was after a very long and cold day. I really liked the aspect of him sitting as well as being sideways. I thought black and whit was the best when to pull across the emotion of each photo, the color one's where almost dull by comparison.


The last one was taken a while ago with a tripod and different camera, however I always really liked this image as a portrait. It is of me and my friend ben(from above) just after i had shaved my head, he was disgusted by the site and i found myself cracking up over it.
