Did I just hear someone ask, what are photograms? I can answer that! It's when you shine light through objects to create a picture on your photo paper. There are no cameras involved. It's a lot of fun, but it can be a pain in the neck too.
Most people threw on random objects onto their photo paper, but I decided I wanted to make something interesting. My teacher had told us that he would judge our personality based on this project. (That made me nervous. I didn't want him to think I lack creativity.)
With yogurt lids, chopsticks, buttons, beads, a wood hat chip, and a scarf (I knitted a mini scarf.), I created a snowman. His name is Mr. WobbleGobble. He likes pies. (Especially pumpkin.) Don't tease him about his appearance because he's very sensitive.
Who knew photography was so challenging and frustrating? Who knew how hard it was to capture the perfect photo? Who knew it took so much thought to create a good photograph? Who knew developing negatives and photographs would make your hands smell like rotten eggs for days? Did you know? I sure didn't.
But nonetheless, I ADORE photography. I put a lot of effort into this project, so when I got that A... it was bliss.
(Actually, it was a good day. I had gotten an A on my science test too. It was a rock test, and I am very much in love with rocks. Is that weird? I should of been an archaeologist, but I'll talk about that in another post.)
I think everyone should try photography. It will definitely change how you see things.
