My Best Photos of Quarter 1

This picture was taken in September of 2012 during the self-portrait project. It shows the silhouette of a girl, holding a cup of tea, back-lit by a lamp. I'm drawn to this picture because the shadows cast on the wall are very interesting, and the mood it conveys is very mysterious.














This picture was taken in the Newmark Theater on Southwest Broadway, and shows a receding line of  multicolored bar-stools. I like this picture because of the appealing use of colors and the leading lines that draw the viewer's eyes toward the middle, giving the photo depth.

This photo was taken at the food carts on 10th and Alder, and shows a popular thai food cart. I like the photo for several reasons. First, the sunlight streaming in from the upper right corner gives the photo a bright and carefree feel. Second, the bright red of the sign immediately attracts the eye and is nicely complemented by the green backdrop of the leaves. Finally, I believe this photo effectively captures part of the spirit of Portland.
