       Alfred Eisenstaedt was a German photojournalist that contributed to history with over 90 Life Magazine cover images. He photographed a meeting between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, he took portraits of Ernest Hemingway, Sophia Loren, and Albert Einstein. Alfred believed in documenting the "lighter side of life".

                                        

This is a 35mm image of a rose I found while walking in my neighborhood. Intended for a project titled Up Close and Wide Open, I loved it regardless that it was required for school. The analog look of the film grain after I removed the scratches gives the image what I feel is a very professional look.

With the formal image project, I wanted a simple result. The simplicity of this image is unbelievable to me because of how amazing it turned out. A lamp, brown paper, and a lime. The right shot and a small boost of contrast and saturation made this simple image one of my favorites in photo one.

Black and White portraits are something everyone loves to a degree, and this one will definitely stay a favorite of mine. With minimal post production I found this to be a wonderful picture that I enjoyed shooting. As a first year student, I was honored to have this image featured in my schools advanced photography show.  

This series of nine images makes up a Typology. At first a seemingly tedious form of photography, with this image i found the beauty in it. The bright colors of the flowers and the effort of manipulating the images give me a sense of pride in my creation.

 This image is of a sculpture in the Living Arts museum in downtown Tulsa made entirely of CD's and DVD's. I found this to be an interesting and colorfully vivid subject. The cone like shape seemed flowing full of colors and the rainbow reflections familiar to the discs.
