Final Project

Artist Statement:  This project is about how showing the difference between the top of a staircase to the bottom.  At the top you get to see modern apartment buildings and townhouses that are clean and orderly. Then once you go down the stairs everything is the opposite of what you saw at the top.  At the bottom things are a little messy and dirty.  It is interesting to see what a difference makes just by a staircase.

HDR Images

These are my HDR photos.  The first was taken at Frick Nature Center and the last two are of my bedroom.  I wanted to see the difference in the images from outside to indoors.

Portraits

This is my roommate Erin.  As you can tell she is a huge fan of Philly's sports teams.  And I hope her personality got across in these photos.

Panoramas

Shot these images at night.  Thought it would be interesting to see panoramas taken outside at night.  The one inside the apartment is of course taken during the day.
