Evolution Week 8: Music & Volunteering

This week I’m switching it up a little bit. The pictures I took are from my volunteering I’ve done for my senior project. I volunteered at My Voice Music, which is a non-profit organization that gives music lessons to under privileged youth. I couldn’t put pictures of the kids on the blog because I would have to ask permission so I’m using the other sort of mood setting pictures I took for this week. I think this relates to evolution in the way that I’m doing this for my senior project, which will always be a reminder of those years as a senior. The first picture I took was of some headphones they used for recording. I heightened the sharpness, definition and contrast to make the picture look more dramatic. The changing of the color to sepia just made it look a little better. I think its because you don’t focus on all of the different colors in the picture and you focus on the content and the light and darkness of the photo. The second picture I took were of a mini studio knobs and levers. I really like this picture, firstly because of all the colors as well as the tall knobs gives the picture more visual depth. I didn’t really alter anything in iPhoto, I was really proud with this picture. The last picture I took was of a turntable. I was really inspired by the hard plastic covering. It warped the shot when you looked through it, I shot it from the angle. I did so you could see the contrast in the picture.
