Henri Cartier-Bresson; "The Decisive Moment"

This picture by Henri Cartier-Bresson of Marilyn Monroe really caught my eye because in all her pictures she's just so glamoured up and never really looks like "herself." In this picture, I kind of  feel like when she's looking away from the camera it looks like she's wishing she maybe had a different life where she could look a little more like herself, and there wouldn't be that pressure that weighs down on her in her acting life.
Bresson really captures her in a moment of thought, even though she is posing next to the tree,
You can still tell the deeper meaning behind her eyes.

Photo Journalism - "A Simple Process"

These are my Process pictures, I decided to photograph my sister while she was getting ready in the morning. This is her daily morning process of getting ready for school. 

Light Project - Direct Light and Shadow

This is my second light picture of my sister Samantha, and I love how the shadows turned out.

Looks kinda creepy, but at the same time, the way she is smiling makes the image great :]

Portraits - Samantha Take Two

Her face is going to get stuck this way, trust me, I keep telling her.
She always makes this face at me, whether I say something sarcastic, or silly,
She always makes this face.

Light Project - Bright Direct Light

I especially like this image of my sister because I think she is just so beautiful and she looks like a classic movie actress :]

People say sometimes that my sisters and I (in the right situation) 

Look a lot like Marion Davies.

Portraits - Samantha

Found myself a new light source, and a new subject who refused to put her soda down :]

My contact sheet came out a little bad because there was crap all over the glass press, I didn't realize this until I had already finished developing the contact sheet.

It IS hard to see in the dark room ya know...
