Black & White Photography, progress and learning over time


Over time from when we started using our film cameras for the first time, I realized that I had much to relearn. For example, when it came to developing the film, I saw that most of my photos came out flat and had little to no contrast to them. I took some time to practice using the camera more and trying to notice the contrast points in a composition due to them not being in color. Comparing my first set of black and white photographs to my last set from New York, I can see that I have learned how to make sure that the picture is crisp and clear. Overall  I think I have come a long way in being able to create a good composition with high contrast.

Yarmouth Stands With Parkland [ Extra ]

      On March 14th, 2018 Yarmouth High School students marched outside in the snow at 10:00 sharp with no time to waste and demonstrated how they feel about school shootings. Much of the student body bared the cold snowy weather that caused them to have a two-hour delay and joined together to make their voices heard. S tudents took time out their day on Monday to make posters and signs that they would later hold up high in the snow.   Chants were lead by senior Eliza Brown and senior Anna Parker. The song Imagine by John Lennon was performed acoustically by senior Nick Prato. Concluding the demonstration before a moment of silence, senior Sage Watterson recited an original poem that left everyone speechless.  Media correspondents from WSCH6 news, WGME, Portland Press Herald covered the protest and covered the story.  Never Again September 25, 1789: Congress sends the Bill of Rights   to state legislatures for ratification.

New York City Trip

Sore Feet Street Scene        On Friday, March 9th, 2018 I arrived at 100 Thompson's Point Road, Portland ME, 04102 at 5:30am. I bought my ticket and waited for the rest of the group to gather. We boarded the bus and were instantly excited after a long day of waiting to see if we were still going on the original date of Thursday, March 8th. During the long bus rides to Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York, I couldn't help but daydream of all the different aspects and highlights that were about to come. For starters, I couldn't wait to use my film camera in a new city and try to get the best shot possible. Secondly, I was beyond excited to spend the weekend with some great friends.  Business Trip Street Scene         Once we got there I learned quite quickly that if you make eye contact with any stranger anywhere there, they will come up and talk to you. We ended up making a game out of it because it happened so much. Throughout the first afternoon there we hit
