Land of Giants, My Version

Abandoned, But Not Forgotten

Shutter 1/34, Aperture f/11.1, Focal Length 4.3mm, ISO 99
This gas pump looks like it hasn't been used in a long time, since maybe the 70's. Considering that there is barely anything around it, it looked pretty well abandoned.

Shutter 1/105, Aperture f/14.0, Focal Length 12.3mm,  ISO 80
This item doesn't even have anything hooked up to it any more, such as tanks or hoses, so I think it's pretty clear that this has been abandoned.
Shutter 1/34, Aperture f/4.2, Focal Length 8.5mm, ISO 200
The amount of rust on the subject is a pretty clear indication of abandonment. There's not even a cable hooked up to it anymore, making it seem obsolete.

These images hold a symbolic meaning, that being that when we find something better and easier to use, we often times forget about the things we used before, leaving them to rust. We may abandon these things, but we must never forget them, because they are what helped us become what we are today.

Heavy Metal Album Cover

Front Cover
Inside Cover
Back Cover
This project was kind of fun, yet a bit frustrating at times. This made me think about a bunch of different things relating to heavy metal and what their covers entail. Upon doing research, I soon realized that there weren't a lot of photographed album covers for heavy metal, thus I had nothing that I could reference to. Anyways, without further delay, I present to you the debut album of Saints Deception: Something Worth Dying For.

Disclaimer: the band titled within (Saints Deception) does not actually exist in the genre of heavy metal.

Animorphs- Volume 2

This is my dog merged with aspects of myself. I created something horrible and I am truly sorry for that.

I had a lot of fun with this project, which was replacing the sky. I like the fact that I can take a boring landscape and make it brilliant. I can now, essentially, fake it.
