Having seen the cool photography my friend had done, I wanted to try taking 360 degree panoramics myself. Chris and I brought a camera up to the Cape with us, and set about doing just that...

At the end of the year, we decided to make all of the mentors on the robotics team awards. We were originally going to laser cut them, but some last second delays meant that we had to scramble to make certificates...

What happens when you get bored at Robotics? You take pictures of your CAD team leader and Photoshop them together so it looks like he has five arms!

One of the projects I have always wanted to try is infrared photography. The main thing stopping me was the lack of a SLR Camera to use IR film with, and the lack of an old digital camera, but I found a solution...

What do you do when you didn’t get official yearbook photos taken? Have Greg take them for you! Utilizing a DSLR Camera (graciously loaned by Colby), the school’s photography study, and Photoshop, it turns out you can create pictures that rival what the professionals make!

Often when I am making small talk with people, I ask them if they are "Keepin’ it real". One day, at a math team meeting while I was writing on the white board, a friend asked me if I was "Keepin’ it real". I told him that of course I was, there wasn’t a single imaginary number on the board. One thing led to another, and thinking back to that time, I realized I had come up with a witty and original t-shirt idea.

Every summer we go up to Cape Cod. There are lots of beaches and sunsets at Cape Cod, and it makes for some really good photographs. These are a collection of photos that me and my brother and my dad took at Cape Cod this summer. These are all unedited and uncropped, but they are really cool, check them out.

The robotics team is working on all sorts of incredible promotional material to get the additional funding we will need for next year, so part of our ‘press kit’ is a DVD with a short movie on it about what FIRST is and why it’s worth funding. Every DVD needs an insert, so that is where I step in...

As my last photography independent study project, I restored an old photography that Mr. Madar had scanned of his father. It was originally from the 40s, so it had the nice old fashioned sepiatoned look.The photo had a corner missing, and a big rip down the middle, so it wasn&rsquot;t going to be a simple touch up job; there was serious restoring to be done...

The school and the Historical Society planned an event for June that would bring lots of families out to learn a bit about the history of their town. I was asked to do some of the graphics design work for the poster, brochure, and tickets. From the start, I wanted to stick with the old-fashioned look since the whole event was taking place on Old Main Street...

While searching for a project for my independent study, Mike suggested to me that I do a mosaic of something. A mosaic requires several hundred source photos, so I planned to go to loads of sports games this spring and do one in the shape of the school’s mascot, the Bobcat. But then I realized that Robotics already had several hundred photos for me to use...

While we were in Hawaii, we were able to take some incredible photographs. The sunsets were pretty, and we were surrounded by mountains and oceans and rainforests. Armed with nothing but a cheap Kodak consumer digital camera, we were able to take some gorgeous shots. To see a selection, click below.

I wanted to do a simple project that would bridge me over until Easter break, so I decided to try to do something in the style of Apple’s iPod ads. I got a picture of my aunt dancing from a family party last year, which wasn’t exactly ideal because she wasn’t against a solid background...

For this project I used the view camera to take photos with large format film. The project was divided into a couple parts. The first part was learning how to use the camera to focus and take an exposure with Polaroid film. The second part was loading and using the normal film to take exposures. The third part was loading and developing the film, and the forth part was making prints.

Learning to use the camera wasn’t too complicated...

For my photography independent study, I did some of the graphic design work for the school play, Grease. I originally had the cover of their musical scores to work with, which contained both the 50's style cursive writing and the image of the two characters. They told me they wanted a theme of pink and black, but to keep the blue from the characters' clothing as a minor color...
