So with the holidays and my finals during the begining of the month things have been pretty crazy. I’m happy to say I got an A on my Color Photography Final and I finished my History of Photography class with an A also! Next semester I’m taking a Photojournalism course and starting my non photography classes towards my degree.
Here are the photos I submitted for my final portfolio, being so close to DC I thought I would photograph the monuments since I love architecture. I didn’t want typical monument photos so I decided to go at night and take the photos when everything is lit up. I love how some of them look black and white! I printed them all up at 13×19 and matted them 18×24. They are available for purchase if anyone is interested. The purchased copies will not have my logo as they do on my blog.
