Farmer's Market

         Today my sister and I ventured to the local farmers market, and I saw the tallest sunflower I have ever seen in my entire life; it was taller than me, and I am 5'8! Therefore I had to take a picture of this phenomenon, even though this blog has already featured a sunflower picture. Again, I fell in love with the vivid colors, and I love the brick building in the background. Pearl street, which is very close to DU, is adorable, and I have been twice in just one weekend. It is definitely a good place to take photos.

University of Denver

  Time has flown by here at the University of Denver, and before I knew it I no longer had time to post my daily pictures! Here is a collection of photographs I have taken during my time here, as well as a description and date of when each picture was taken! Enjoy!

October 1st, 2010

             This picture was taken in the afternoon when the light was gorgeous. The weather has been crazy warm for this time of year, and I am definitely hoping for a long fall, which is rare for Colorado!

October 1st, 2010

       This photo was taken in the same light as the other, which emphasized the green of the grass and leaves. I love how vivid the colors are! I also love the contrast in elements of the metal against nature. This statue is in front of our library, and is supposed to symbolize a rose. 

October 3rd, 2010

       I pass this bell tower every morning at eight in the morning on the way to my Business class. I love the architecture here on campus, and I'm happy I finally got a picture of this beautiful structure! The clouds are a beautiful backdrop.

October 5th, 2010

     I took this picture in the afternoon light on my way to a meeting. It is amazing being able to capture the beauty I am lucky enough to see every single day. That is probably my favorite part of photography, finding something beautiful and being able to preserve it forever- now this moment will never be lost.

October 8th, 2010

     This morning finally felt like fall! I woke to cloud cover, and I was surprisingly excited to feel the brisk air, although I know in a few weeks I will be wishing for the heat again. This church was moved onto campus brick by brick, and it absolutely beautiful. I know I keep praising DU's campus, but I definitely  am a very lucky college student to get to witness this everyday!!

Bowl

   Some of the best photographs in the world are pictures of everyday objects- a sign, a bike, a tree. I love the randomness of how I got this photo: looked up, pointed the camera and clicked. For some reason I really like the lines in the photo, as well as the vividness of the colors. The blue, cloudless sky was breathtaking today, and really makes this picture special. Although I am a terrible bowler, I still love going out to enjoy this activity with my friends. Overall, I am happy with my result!!

Inspiration

   Denver is home to some amazing architecture. Here is a picture of the Denver Art Museum that was built to represent the jagged Rocky Mountains. I love the sharp angles of the building, and how dramatic it looks in black and white. When younger I had the idea I wanted to be an architect, and even though that is no longer my dream, I am still constantly fascinated by how each building has it's own character. Even buildings can be extremely inspiring. If you have never been to the Denver Art Museum, I definitely recommend it!!

    I love the contrast of this black and white photo! For some reason I love how black and white captures the light coming off of metal objects, especially off of the pieces of this camera. I have officially experienced all the classes I will be taking this quarter, and let me just say Photography is definitely going to be my all time favorite. I have always been more of a creative person than a math genius, so this class I will be able to have fun and show my strong suit. This photograph is the perfect representation of this class; it's a picture of a camera, held by my photography classmate, in a photography exhibit! Perfect!

Something Beautiful

   I love this photo. It shows that even something bland and ugly like a trash dumpster has something of beauty to offer to the world. The city of Denver is filled with so much character, and it has been awesome getting to explore this wonderful place! I love the black and white contrast, because then it requires you to really look at the picture to figure out that it is a trash bin. The texture of the stickers is also really cool. TOday was he first day of classes here at DU. I am already a bit overwhelmed, but I think I am up for the challenge. More pictures to come!

I've heard it in the silence 

Seen it on a face 

I've felt it in a long hour 

Like a sweet embrace

Top of the World

    The possibilities seems endless whenever coming to a new place, especially a place as wonderful as the city of Denver. Although college campus is a few light rail stops from the center of downtown, I consider myself extremely lucky. I grew up a mere forty minutes away from Denver, but was never truly able to enjoy everything it has to offer. Now I can experience everything first hand whenever I choose. I love this photo for it's angle. Whenever in a city I look up at the building towering over me, and can't help but feel excited. I love how blue the sky is- representing Colorado's 300 days of sunshine. I'm beyond excited to experience this city to it's fullest!

I'm ready for the pressure

The drama and the pleasure

Got my whole life here in front of me

I'm taking over when I walk the streets
