Spring is here. And so are the cherry blossoms. For the selection of photos that I took, I tried to play with the different angles of the sun and how it brightens the photo. I like this picture in particular because even though the flowers are somewhat in the shade it doesn't look very dark because of the light shining through the petals. 

To practice for a larger project in the future, I've created a piece that deals with the concept of cubism. I took several photos of one scene from different angles and focal lengths and manipulated them in Photoshop to create an abstract yet somewhat realistic piece. By doing this exercise, I feel confident that I can create a piece like this but on a much larger scale.
