Burning House Project

-Photo booth pictures 

Pictures of my little sister and I, and my two most friends and i. I've collected them ever since our first photo both picture and they always make me smile.

-My two favorite books

I could read these books over and over again and not get tired. Although they are not the greatest books, they do entertain me.

-The Bible

A present from my grandparents on my 15th birthday.

-Universal Studios Annual Pass

Won't expire until august, and i love Universal Studios.

-We the Kings (band) shirt 

The band "We the Kings" used to be my favorite band and my brother knew that so for my birthday, as a gift, he bought me this shirt during one of their concerts that i could not go to. Although it is not my favorite band anymore I still really like their music but its the memories that come with the shirt the I like the best.

-Signed concert ticket by A Rocket To The Moon

My favorite band "A Rocket to the Moon) has been my favorite band for five years now and I finally got to see them live in my first concert.That alone is why i would take this ticket with me but after the show i also got it signed by them which made the ticket extra special to me.

-School ID

It is essential for me, it is a priority, but does not have much sentimental value.

-Cellphone

Always have it with me, it would be necessary for communication if my house was really about to burn, but otherwise i would still always have it with me to socialize.

-Camera

I need it to record more memories, which I like to do very often.

-Ipod

Contains my favorite music. I love music and i always want to listen to it. I would not leave behind my Ipod because it is my first choice of entertainment.

-Laptop

My laptop would be taken with me because, like other things listed here, is my entertainment. I need it for school work, socializing, pictures, etc..

-My favorite pair of shoes (only one shoe is shown)

I would not leave behind my favorite pair of shoes because these were not easy to get. I waited a long time for these shoes and once i finally got them i loved them. My mom bought them for me.

-Quinceañera Photo album, crown, and Video.

These items have a lot of sentimental value to me because they remind me of my family in Mexico. I had my Quinceanera in Mexico with my family and it was a wonderful experience that i would never forget.

Series picture (Eyes)

I took three pictures of three different people with blue eyes. These people are showing no emotion so that it doesn't distract the viewer from their eyes. I chose to photograph people with blue eyes so that my purpose could be clearer. My series was about the small white circle that shows up on peoples eyes on a picture. This is a reflection of usually the flash from the camera or a bright light. I chose to accentuate that circle by placing a big light right in front of their face so when the picture is taken, the white light will cover almost all of their pupil. I also chose to stand in the middle of that light so that the outline of myself can be shown on their pupil. When editing this picture I tried to wash out the color of their faces and put a gray/blue background to emphasize the blue color of their eyes. These pictures where taken indoors, with a white background and a big light in front of them. I think my work was successful in terms of my general idea because I was able to accomplish the accentuated white rectangle on their pupil. However, i was not completely satisfied with my idea because after taking the pictures and editing them, I thought that my idea was too simple.
