Final Reflection

In the 20: one grateful project I felt that being grateful built more creativity in my brain. I think it built more creativity because I went out of my way to show pictures I am grateful for. First I started off with nature, like the ocean. But I went through hundred of photos for what I felt was a good picture, to find the right angle, brightness, focal point, whatever it was. Then I started taking pictures of golf courses because they have their own type of true beauty, and I am grateful to be able to play on those courses. I took action shots at golf courses to get a sensation of the focus and determination I have when I'm playing. And I gave that feeling of competition when playing in a tournament atmosphere. But the most difficult part of this project I would say was trying to find the words to put with the photo to tell you how I really felt about it. But the most valuable thing was picking which picture I felt was the best picture out of them all, because I really had to look closely at the picture and give it a different perspective rather then when I was taking the photo. I think I would recommend this project to other students because it really does build your imagination and you really start to find what you truly are grateful for in life. But if I had to make my own type of 20 day project I would probably just have it be of what the kids like to do, or do on their free time for fun rather then what they are grateful for. I feel that would build their imagination up just as well, and they would have so many more pictures to choose from and explain in their own words how they feel about it.

Day 19: Nor Cals for PV 2013

This photo was when I was at Nor Cals this year for Pleasant Valley's golf team. This photo shows dominant lines, subject background relationship, and meaning to me. This is what I love to do and I love working hard to get to where I want to be someday.

Day 18: Grind mode everyday

I like this picture because it shows movement and you can see the direction of the ball, club, and my body. And it has dominant lines and a focal point in it and I like the lighting.

Day 17: The only girl I need

This is my girlfriend Tayler. Honestly she is the best and I don't know what I would do without her. She's such a sweet heart, she thinks about others rather than herself. And how can you not fall in love with that smile. This is what I call pure bliss. I am so grateful to have her in my life. 

 

Reflection week 3

week threes I think was a very successful week. It made me take a new look on my pictures that I take for a different type of meaning, focal point, whatever it was. I took tons of pictures because I couldn't really find a great one but I knew out of all of them I thought I would have a great one. It was tuff to do this but in the end I think it worked and came out successful.

Day 15: My pool

I took this photo when I was really bored and just got out of the pool and I thought it was a kind of interesting picture to me because of the dominant lines shown in it, and it has meaning to me because without this pool during the summer I would over heat and be so bored!

Day 14: BCCC

This is my home course Butte Creek. This is towards the end of winter when the grass is still dormant but it's slowly starting to come back. I like this picture because it shows the dominant lines that golf courses really have and how beautiful they can really be.

Day 13: Playing some G

This photo was taken at my Sisters practice round for her golf tournament the next day for Chico State. I think this photo shows great dominant lines, and subject background relationship, and a major focal point.

Day 12: Bidwell Park

This photo was taken at Bidwell Park Golf Course when I was practicing with my sister one day. She plays for Chico States Women's Golf team. I love to practice and get better everyday and keep on improving.

Day 11: relaxing sunset over the beach and ocean

This photo is one of the most relaxing photos I think I have ever taken. I love it because it looks like the world just drops off the edge. This honestly is the definition of pure bliss when it comes to nature. I wish I could see this all the time.

Day 10: Tiger Woods #1 in the world at AT&T Pebble Beach

This photo is of Tiger Woods he was the number 3 player in the world when I got this picture. But he is back to the number 1 spot in the world. This photo means something to me because it shows how much hard work and sacrifice he has put into his golf game to get to where he is and to get even better everyday.

Day 9: On my grind day-to-day

This photo was taken during one of my golf tournaments. I was playing good and I needed to grind and keep focused in order to shoot a lower score. So I did and I birdied 2 of my last 3 holes. This photo represents me as a person and what I love about this game so much. Success is when preparation meets opportunity.

Day 8: Range Session

This photo represents the hard work and dedication I have put into golf to get to where I am and to get better. You have to work hard for what you want.

Day 7: California

This photo is relaxing by the subject and the background and seeing the mountains in the distance.

Day 6: Prom 2013

One of the most memorable nights I've had. She was the best date I could ask for and such an amazing friend. The colors in this photo brings out happiness.

Day 5: Hard work and dedication

This round was one of the hardest rounds I've ever played. I had to focus and get the job done. This picture shows how focused I was and how hard I had to work. The background behind me provides as a great scenery I think because you don't know what's behind there. It gives the picture more of a competition feeling to it.

Day 4: Team Nor Cals

This picture is of the golf team. I think this picture works good because the background of the golf course shows what our team does and what we like to do. It has meaning to every single one of us.

Day 3: Early bird gets the worm?

This picture has it's own type of feeling to it. You can get a feeling of relaxation and harmony, but you can also get the feeling of a competitive nature. This photo has a lot of things going for it, it has dominant lines, and meaning.

 

Day 2: A walk at Spyglass Hills



This photo is a photo of one of my favorite par 3 golf holes at Spyglass Hills. You have a pond on the right of the green and its a downhill shot with a beautiful layout of trees, grass, and water. This photo shows dominant lines and subject background relationship. This photo shows the true beauty of a golf course, and what professional golfers get to go through everyday when they play courses.

Day 1: Morning golf at Pebble Beach

Beauty can make you happy and relaxed no matter how you are feeling. This is pure beauty too see in the morning while golfing. Nature is just pure bliss.
