I took this picture in my bedroom actually. The flash was on so it made the background black. This was for the circles assignment. Although i don't think this picture is very original, i like it. i also burned the ends of the pencils to make the colors and texture more drastic.

This is a picture I took at a place called Parkwood by Lake Cyrus. I saw the hot air balloon in the distance and waited for it to get close enough to take a good picture.

Graham S- Fishing


This is a picture I took over the summer of my friend Carlyle and myself. I put my camera up on a tree branch and set a timer to take the picture.

I think this picture would be better if there weren't drink cans all over the ground.
