Top Left: Molly Erickson ‘18 and Emma Brustkern ‘18 were kind enough to help me with a slow stutter speed picture. They are trying to flip their hair, but the timing was off. I liked this picture better than the real hair flip one. Top Right: Brustkern and Elaina Irving ‘18 energetically jump to help me get a picture with a fast stutter speed. The jumping was suggested by Erickson who is not in the picture, because she had to hold the door to the school so it would not lock us outside.

Top: I was trying to get a picture with a selective focus with Brustkern in the background and Irving as the focus. Irving decided she would smile for the picture. It didn’t turn out like I wanted, but the picture is still a great picture of them. It was taken in the South band cool. Right: Erickson plays the piano in the South band room. She is playing her favorite song to play Downton Abbey.

Lines
Top: I thought a good lines picture would be on a basketball court. This is the basketball court in my backyard. It was covered with snow, and I had to wipe it way. Right: This picture was taken in my English class when my teachers instructions were to look productive. I was planning out my in-class essay when I thought the lines on the paper would be good for a lines photo.
