Similar Styles: Different Countries

I love when I find out that I have photos that look so Similar but they are so Unique.
The first photo when I took it was I was a little bit obsessed with Twilight and I was so excited to go to Volterra, Italy where they might be shooting the second part of the movie. The film crew ended up not photographing there so my friend and I were able to find all kind of fascinating things around the store and roam around the city for the weekend.
Recently I have been in France and while here I have been taking lots of travel photos for the foreign and the familiar. I have been trying to attempt different views and angles. The type of things that will make me be different from everyone else. While editing a photo recently I realized how similar it was to one I took in Italy almost three years ago. I really feel like the one from France is a whole lot better. Maybe, it is because of the different objects that are in the photo, but maybe it is also because of the colors. Anyways, enjoy!

Experimental Printing

This quarter I have been doing a lot of experimental printing. In the class, I am learning how to print on metal flashing, making skins (using liquitex and inkaid), and other materials. The materials or substrates have to be the thickness of penny or less. Learning about all these things interests me greatly and seeing my work on different material besides printing paper is even better. I can not wait to go on my next adventure to take photographs with my family.
