Notes
All photos were taken with my OnePlus One. I mostly used Snapseed to edit them because I felt the filters and tools were more robust than Pixlr. I used Pixlr for a few photos just to get some different effects.

ReplyDeleteHi Kevin,
DeleteI'm starting on the right day now :). Though all of your pictures are not necessarily vintage, you give them a vintage look through the way you have manipulated the lighting. The age locations that are older are solidified by changing them to black and white. I see memory illustrated with the Dorney Park brochure. How many of us have personal remembrances of our times there. The construction of the pictures and numbers are correct.i will download Pixlr, even though you did not give it a glowing recommendation, to see if it will be of help to me. I like the app I have on my iPod but am willing to try something new.
Hi Kevin! For your construction, all of your pictures are numbered, centered, and evenly spaced and you also have a good variety of horizontal and vertical pictures. However, I wish they were all larger, so that I can view them better! For your communication, all of your pictures can be easily read, but the variety of edits you used really made each picture unique in its own way! Picture #10 makes me think of summer and all of the times I’ve gone to Dorney Park and Six Flags. In terms of conception, it seems like you did some exploring to find some pretty vintage-looking locations and objects. I like that not all of your pictures contain vintage items, but all of your pictures still have a vintage-feel to them because of the various edits you used. My vote for POW is your first self-portrait because it’s a really sick action shot! I like the way the blue light only illuminates part of the picture and leaves the rest in the dark, which makes it mysterious. Also, I like that this picture tells me more about who you are and what you like to do. Good job, Kevin!
ReplyDeleteHi Kevin! Good construction. Your post is nicely spaced and organized. It's easy to read. I like your choice of filters and frames for the subject matter. The coloration of your photos gives each one a different mood and feeling. Even though some of the subject of the pictures might be the same like the two pictures of the trees, they each have a seperate feeling in them. The viewer can craft their own meanings from you pictures based on just the colors alone. On the flip side most of your photos only consist of one or two colors. So while you have a diverse set of colors in your set you've done so in using a small amount of colors to begin with. Good job on creating a diverse set of pictures. My favorite picture is picture #12. The way the light creates a silhouette of the car is great and the fact that there are only two colors makes the picture pop.
ReplyDeleteKevin,
ReplyDeleteI loved your construction, more specially the borders around each photo. Great idea! For communication, I could tell you like antiques and it seems like you wanted to communicate that while your house was old/an antique, you loved it. For conceptual, You have a great variety of color which I enjoyed and kept me going through your blog many times! My favorite picture is number 16, because at first glance I thought it wasn't what I thought it was.

Hi Kevin!
ReplyDeleteI like the variety of construction you have going on in your photos! Some of straight on, some are close up, and one even looks like you may have been laying on the floor. None of these photos look off, or like they need to be centered, or adjusted - so great job with that!
Your photos communicate the things you see, the things you do, and the places you go. I love #10! It seems like you're like me, and like to keep your memories from everywhere you go.
Conceptually, I think you show that you are outdoors a lot, but that you also may work, and work with your hands a lot too - kind of like you're not afraid to get your hands dirty.
My favorite photo is #4 because of how everything looks completely rusted, and how you edited it to draw that out.
Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYour construction was very well organized and consistent. I like how you switched between verticals and horizontal pictures! You communicated the topic of vintage and memory very well through your subjects and various angles. I enjoyed the different dimensions you used in order to pull a certain feeling out if your subjects that wouldn't be there face on. I also really like the lighting and effects that you used to give the vintage feel. I am one who enjoys heavy editing in order to capture a feeling and I think that you did that perfectly! My favorite picture is number 12 because of the lighting and contrast. If this picture was taken in different lighting or at a different angle I don't think that it would have been so powerful.
Hey Kevin! You had some great pictures this week. Your Construction was good. Your pictures were centered, evenly spaced, and easy to follow. As for Communication, I enjoyed the old and broken-down feel. You had some pictures where the objects and scene already looked old. But you also used some filters that added to the vintage feel. Lastly, I thought the Conception was well done. You gave a good variety of distances and angles in your photos. I also like your use of lighting and filters. The variety of colors (black/white, blues, browns, etc.) created interest in your photos. They gave a sense of vintage but all from different times. I think that some of the frames were not necessary though. My vote for Picture of the Week is #9. The faucet is already old-looking. And the paint cracking-off in the background added to the vintage feel. I also like the angle and closeness of the faucet. Awesome job this week!
ReplyDeleteHey Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYour images were all constructed clearly and organized in a way that made sense to me. I do wish they were a bit bigger, though, because they seem to be such condensed JPEGS that trying to zoom in really pixellates them. Communicatively, I could understand your approach and I appreciate the time and effort you took to make these pictures seem physically old, but some of them seem a bit... expected and overdone, perhaps. My favorite is #12 – your use of light really helps evoke a strong emotion in me... I'm not sure even what emotion it is, but I feel SOMETHING. Good job!
Hi Kelvin!
ReplyDeleteform - They all are centered and I like that you uploaded both vertical and horizontal photographs.
content - You chose good objects from old to new ones. Like #10, it has a today's picture but for some reason it has some vintage atmosphere. Maybe it is the most colorful one on this blog? #12 definitely has mystery. I wanted to know some of your memory, though.
impact - All of your pictures have vintage atmosphere. The impact of #12 was really big because it shows both mystery and vintage.
I like the picture#4. We need them today and still have the old style in their stores. Cool object! Oh anyway it seems like you like fire as an object :D
Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are all impactful, good work.
Your construction is nice because you used a lot of effective framing and filtering. For example, in 12, the light is behind the car, and the photo is exposed for the light, creating a silhouette of this vintage-looking car. The warm filter over it creates a really strong vintage mood, which totally works. I think it's your best photo.
The communication in your photos seems to be of all kind of old things you've encountered, which works nicely with this assignment. I like the communication of your hobby (i'm guessing that's a hockey stick in your hands?) in self-portrait #1. It's nice to know your story a little bit.
The conception works well in your photos and all of them align nicely with the vintage assignment. However, they could have used more mystery with more particular framing, and I'm personally not a fan of photos that are taken on a diagonal angle. Anyway, nice job!
