  1. I find it interesting how the assignment has to do with light and you took a light bulb and put it in the window. Good idea! Its nice to see that you did not move the curtain out of the way. It takes up half the image but it provides a nice border and the color helps bring life to the simple whites in the rest of the image. The dead plants photo has a very nice shallow depth of field. The cell phone with changes makes me think of an image you would see with a financial advertisement. The dew on the window is very nice. Im glad that you did not leave any part of the car in the image because it makes the glass very ambiguous.

  2. “Cell Phone and Pocket Change” is a success. Isn’t that surprising. I love the ambiguity of “Condensation on Windshield”. Very nice.

    I like that the images shown are stuff used everyday that we often neglect to give any attention to. I liked the idea of having a light bulb not be used as a light source for one of the photos.

  4. I love looking at the “everyday” in your project– you have made compelling images of the space around you, which tells me you’re able to transform a place with your camera. It’s difficult for me to choose a favorite image– but it might be your photograph of the fork– for it’s simplicity and the effect of the lighting. And you’re doing nice color correcting– great job!
