Photographs of London: An Introduction

Hi Everyone!

For my second blog post, I will be introducing myself again! Just kidding, I will be posting several pictures of me and my interests for my Photography class.

I enjoy reading fantasy/adventure stories and spending time watching crime shows on Netflix and Hulu. I also enjoy spending time simply listening to music; my sister has introduced me to Billie Eilish so I would take her to the Nashville concert (her plan worked). The concert was amazing, even if the weather was horrid. I like the arts, but I've not crafted anything for approximately a year. In the past, I painted, used pastels, and crafted jewelry.

The Arts in London: Market Project: Borough Market

Image
Borough Market Note: Bailey and I conducted interview together and gathered audio, video, and image data on a Friday morning. Data will be marked if it is not mine. Borough Market is a food market dating back to at least the 12th century but the current buildings are only from the 1850s. It has been a food market for many years, but has shifted from a wholesale market to more of a produce market. This market is open Monday - Saturday, with full stall access on Friday and Saturday. Every other day of the week is considered "limited," meaning that only some stalls are open. Photo taken by Bailey. NOT MINE Now imagine: walking through the market held different scents: seafood to raw meat to fresh fruits/veggies to the sweet smells of confections to the savory scents of meal stalls. You might also catch a whiff of coffee beans or tea leaves if you walk close enough. A constant low murmur echoes in your ears and you catch British accents everywhere. A breeze blows ...

The Arts in London: Bridge Project: Tower Bridge

View from an alley on the way to the Bridge Tower Bridge Note: Bailey and I conducted interview together and gathered audio, video, and image data on a Friday morning. Data will be marked if it is not mine. Tower Bridge was built over 120 years ago and was completed in 1894. This bridge is used to connect City of London to Tower Hamlets (near Southwark) and crosses the Thames River. River traffic is still able to move with ease as the bridge has scheduled lift times for larger ships to move. Starting in 1982, visitors have been able to go inside of the towers to discover the history and panoramic walkways, for a price of course. Bailey and I meandered on the sidewalks by the traffic like peasants. The bridge experience was fairly unexciting; it is, after all, a traffic bridge. There was a cacophony of honks, brakes, and random snippets of overly loud music emerging from the multitude of vehicles on the road. The walkway held languages , where you could hear phrases of Spani...

Photographs of London: Week 1: Potential Portfolio Photos

Image
 Hello everyone! Below are several photos that I am considering adding to my semester portfolio. Each photo was taken by me and was carefully selected by a team (a big thank you for Anna's assistance). Please let me know what you think! The photo to the right was taken in the Temperate House in Kew Gardens on July 4th. This was part of a class trip. Kew Gardens is a beautiful, massive place and I highly recommend paying the small ticket fee to visit. This photo on the left was taken at Hyde Park, when I was walking from the Marble Arch to the Italian Gardens located in Kensington Gardens. This photo is one of many that I took on my independent trip to Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens on July 5th. The photo to the right was taken as part of my independent trip on July 5th. It captures the Fountains located in the Italian Gardens that overlook the Serpentine. The fountain did not have a specific name or plaque dedicated to it that I could find. Side note,...
