Artists Statement

I create art because I want to express my creativity and share it with many people. Many things inspire me. Mostly my firends and nature/outdoors inspire me. I take alot of pictures of my friends. I take alot of pictures of my firnds doing activities that we both love. I also take alot of pictures of nature beacuse it's so unique and beautiful. This past semester I took photo 3 and my theme was hands. I picked that theme beacuse your hands can work in many ways and can do so many things in your life.


This is a picture by Mike Hollman. Most of his photos are nature and some are of popular landmarks. They are very rich in colors and express different climates. For the photos taken of traffic, he clearly used a slow shutter speed to get the headlights. I think that he did a really good job and used good techniques like leading lines and rule of thirds. He also used great depth of feild.
