Photographic techniques

The explorer conditioning technique (ECT): Treat a new task as a quest for new discoveries. To be able to perform at your peak, you have to love what you are doing. Whether it’s acting, bartending or washing dishes, you have to learn to love what you do. One way to achieve this is to technically act like any explorer would, which is to be thrilled by something new every day (or treat everything as such even when it’s not new). It should be as if each task you were making were coming…

expel the tension in the tissue and restore comfortable movement.

Today, I decided to play with my own camera of the ESO Canon. I thought that I have learned manual setting on my mentor’s Leica camera. So I wanted to try with my own camera, since it came with manual settings. First, I tried set different ISO, aperture, and shutter-speed numbers.

Though there are those few exceptions were the parents decide to purchase gender neutral items, but they eventually begin to do the same as other parents do. In our everyday lives many of the spaces that we go to are gender spaced, from the stores that we enter to our own homes. The Space Project gave me a perfect opportunity to explore some…

A negative is a type of image that is placed on plastic film. When this negative is viewed, the darkest areas of the actual subject will appear the brightest, and the lightest areas of the subject will seem the darkest. This is because the light-sensitive chemicals within the camera reverse the order of colors. When a camera is shot, the chemicals become darkened by exposure to the light.

The beautiful film All That Heaven Allows directed by Douglas Sirk shows the struggles women faced in the 1950’s and how gender norms limited women from having an independent and safe surrounding, all through the story of a rich widowed woman who falls for a young man.
