Rule of Thirds

This week we focused on taking pictures using a new photography style: the rule of thirds. This style focuses on the way you take the photo, and thinking about the viewers perspective. Using the rule of thirds you divide the photo in thirds vertically, one third should be the focus and the other two thirds should be negative space. I tried to do that with my pictures this week, focusing in on one subject and leaving the other two thirds blank.

High School

High school is mainly social. You are supposed to be preparing for college and the rest of life, but instead you are focusing on friends and extra curriculars. I tried to think of all the social activities I like to do, I rock climb and play soccer after school. I also ride horses and wander around the city. I love going to the beach and seeing friends, as well as watching movies and reading. To me independence, and the freedom to do all these things is what high school is all about.

Middle School

In middle school I remember trying my hardest not to do anything. In elementary school I remember fun outdoor activities and hanging out with friends. In middle school I remember listening to horrible pop music and spending most of my time trying to get out of doing different things. I watched TV and listened to music and annoyed my parents. I tried to represent the split between childhood, and the beginning of the teenage mindset. 

For my late childhood I decided to focus more on outdoor games and things I used to do. The past post I focused on looking at media and things I watched. This time I wanted to focus more on the outside time. I remember playing twister with friends at birthday parties, singing horrible pop music on the swings, building sandcastles and playing games. In this post I tried to focus on these.
