"Skate Park"

With constructing a stake park, there’s a lot of objects to include into one frame so horizontal was my best option. I was limited on how close I could get to my subject because of a “no trespassing” sign posted on the fence.  I started the first frame with using the railing and sign as my first image and from there I went across the frame five more shots then started back at the sign and went down a row and across again the frame five more shots repeating the process. visually and physically map out the entire image to make sure everything is placed properly in the image. my concept for each image was just to take it row by row.

"In Remembrance"

While capturing the fine work, I wanted to get a clear image of Grand Valley’s score board to just bring out the overall baseball theme of this photo.  I feel the way I shoot the batter of the statue in this image makes it seem as if it’s a lot bigger than what it actually is.  Lining it body oddly but the cater straight was done to show more difference in the two. reminds me of the times when I used to play ball from the first time when I was three to my last, graduation year.



"Field of Dreams"

This baseball scene was constructed in my hometown of Coloma Michigan where I used to play all of my high school home games at. Near the pitcher’s mound, I place my baseball glove near the rubber and a pair of my cleats and a bat at home plate to add character.  When looking at the large image I noticed my baselines aren’t lined up properly but I feel that this adds mystery because if the lines aren’t straight then what the picture actually is doesn’t seem so apparent.  The visual elements and compositions that are best for this image are all the baseballs on the infield and the objects at home plate that are creating an illusion.  overall this large image reminds me of all the hard long practices I’ve spent on this field and also all the friends and memories I’ve made on this field.
