Photography 2 (again)
This year I tried to attempt more types of alternative processes. I stuck with the plant theme for the most part because spring is so beautiful!
01
Flowers in a Breeze
Just a pot with some flowers, they looked like snowflakes in the sunlight. The leaves remind me of broken and stained glass.
02
Plant Soup
My sister was washing some pots because she was going to replant some new succulents she had gotten. Is dirt like a nutritional blanket for plants?
03
Hazy Journey
I was in the car and the textures of the dash were kinda cool. I really like the reflection in the metal of the vent. I wonder why textures can be so interesting?
04
Components
Unfortunately, my film did not work while I was taking photos. I repurposed the film into making a little flower. I held the flower over the paper and exposed it. I drew with markers, each color with its own personality and nature. Blue like lightning or water streaming down windows in the rain, yellow like soft rays of sunlight, green like highlights of oil? I don't know, I ran out of ideas.
06
Luminescent Hold
Hands and the head of an illuminated mannequin. Are they grabbing it or pushing it away? Are they evil or kind? Or are they just my hands adjusting the mannequin because I forgot I was still taking the picture and I was still sleepy? I wish I liked caffeine.
08
Glimpse of Color
A line of color like a little stream during the rain and little circular puddles on other areas of the paper. I wanted to color the entire thing but then I remembered how lazy I am.

After the Rain
Some kind of metal rack with water droplets after it had rained. I like how it turned out, but I wish I had used some toner or something to add a little more going on in the photo. Regardless, I like how it turned out. I think of these small water droplets like little bits of soft glass. Sometimes they mirror or enlarge things or distort things. I like the word "droplets".

Colorful Glass
I had to hurry and get a roll of film done last year. My little sister was eating a bagel and I had asked her to place her hand on the mirror. It turned out pretty well and I decided to add some color. I thought that warm and cool colors would be neat in the reflection and the non-reflection.
05
Sneaky
My cat, Milo, was watching the TV since we had put on a video with mice. He loves watching animals any chance he gets.
07
Milo
Another picture of my cat Milo. I don't remember what he was looking at or where he was, but he seems happy.
09
Brighter Days
Sometimes we should be like sunflowers, looking towards brighter days. Anyways, it's just a picture of a flower that reminded me of a. sunflower so I just painted it with oils to make it yellow. I wonder how other flowers get their names. I understand "sunflower", but what on earth are "sneezeworts"!?
11
Piano Tree
Some leaves near the sidewalk. I thought they looked interesting in the rays of light peering through the branches of the trees. When I look at this leaf, I get reminded of a piano keys making noises like little raindrops in puddles.
