Six Photographs

This is a picture I took of my dog, Tara, from a few years ago. Unfortunately she passed away last January.  Tara was a gorgeous German Shepherd Husky mix and was the runt of her litter. I know that I'm not a photography major or any of that but I just love this picture of her. I love how she is looking at me in it and how it captures the colors of her fur coat in the picture. I really like the background how part of my deck, house, fence and trees are in it with a nice lighting. Somehow this picture came together in a beautiful way to me. It is definitely among one of the top favorites I have of my dog, even though all of the pictures I have of my dog are my favorite because she's in it.

This is a picture taken this past November of myself with my trombone in Hoboken, NJ overlooking the New York skyline. My roommate is a film major and I was privileged enough to have her take this picture along with a ton of other beautiful pictures for me to use to advertise for my trombone recital that I had last semester.  I love this picture for many reasons, for one I think that the scenery alone is gorgeous, the view of the New York skyline and the water and everything about it is so pretty to me. I also love this picture because my trombone is in it, and I love my trombone and music and everything that goes along with those things. I also think that it captures a bit of my personality in the picture through my facial expression and how you can see I'm excited and happy even when I'm trying to not be so serious for the photo shoot. 

Photograph by Unknown (Neighbor in Bohn Hall)

This is a meaningful picture to me. It was taken last semester during Hurricane Sandy when my friends (two of which who are my roommates) and myself were evacuated from our Village Apartments and moved to Bohn hall for about five days. We all were put in rooms of two, but the six of us stayed together in Loriel and my room and had a giant sleep over the whole time. This picture was taken on a Polaroid camera, which I think is really cool. I really like this picture because it shows how even through hard times, friendship prevailed. You can see that we're all happy here in the picture and together and you can tell it's an uplifting picture, it makes me happy whenever I look back at it and think about that week.

For New Years this year, my family, my sisters boyfriend and I all spent it in Florida and went to Disney during that time. This picture was taken by my sisters boyfriend our second day in Florida when we went to Epcot. This picture is of my family and I in the Italy section in front of the Trevi Fountain there. I love it because it's a picture of my family and me, it's in Disney, and because we're 100% Italian so in a way it is a picture in front of something meaningful to us. Not to mention, the replica they have of it is still gorgeous and it's a beautiful piece of art, which makes it perfect scenery for this picture as well.

In Walt Disney World- Magic Kingdom, they added to fantasy land and opened up a lot of new things. My favorite movie, princess and disney person and character is Belle from Beauty and the Beast and I was ecstatic when I got to see her cottage in fantasyland and the outside of the beast castle and the mini town and everything. It was incredible there. This picture is a great picture of Belle/Maurice's cottage that they built in fantasyland. I love how the scenery is shown in the picture and the lighting in it too. I like how even though the main point is the cottage, that the scenery around it is still a main focus within the picture.

As a die hard NY Giants fan, of course I have to put one of the pictures I took at a game I went to. This is from a game I went to on November 28, 2010 with my mom when the Giants played the Jaguars, and the Giants won. I honestly have probably over 300 pictures from this game alone. In this picture the Giants were on Offense and Eli (#10) is calling out getting ready to hike the ball to start the play. I like this picture a lot because it captures the intensity of the athletes close up in action, you can clearly see where they are on the filed without too much attention to it and because it's of the Giants of course. Even though the lighting isn't the best per say, I think it still has a nice lighting to it for the most part, you can still clearly see the athletes and the filed and everything in the picture is in a good focus.
