I'm taking pictures of food more and more everyday! I was able to take my camera home over thanksgiving break. Taking pictures of every meal I ate and a few of them I cooked. I'm really practicing on taking better photos of food. Also, I took photos of my breakfast, dinner, and desserts. ANYTHING WITH FOOD!!! Tell me what you think of my pictures???????????????????????????

This picture is my favorite because of the vignetting and how the light touches the meal. It's my breakfast
which is scramble eggs with cheese, bologna, and some hot sauce. Also, aside of two types of bread with american cheese inside. Tell me what is your favorite photo and why???????????????????????

Little Black Girl Lost two

I'm a writer, but I also enjoy reading. I like reading books that catch my attention and focus me into the book. The type of books I enjoy reading are drama, action, and horror books. My favorite arthur is Keith Lee Johnson, and he wrote the book Little Black Girl Lost the series, and plenty of other books. I read the first part, and now I'm reading the second part, and eventually I'll read the third, fourth, and fifth parts. It is about a young teenage black girl that makes major decisions about her life. The choices she makes affects the people around her. I'd recommend this book to others because the story talks about how it was for black women in the 1950's. A book that I'm personally writing about is based on a young teenage girl that goes through tough experiences and realizes she is on her own at a early age. Anyone who wants to share me books they read or write do not hesitate to tell me I'm all ears!

MY BOOK

I'm so excited and nervous about writing my own book. My co-workers and myself are creating our own books. We decide on how we want to make it and what to put in it. I still don't know what I want to name my book. I do know what I like my book to be based on. The book would basically be about me and my stories that I like to share with the world. Things I like and dislike in my personal experiences from the past, present, and future accomplishments I like to overcome. Also, I'll try to find people similar to me and my stories so I can put a face to my story instead of my own. If anyone who wants to tell a story to me that I can relate to let me know. My intentions of this book is to inspire and relate to others, and their stories. I'm really looking forward of hearing from people and what they have to offer!

BLACK&WHITE

BLACK&WHITE   
A black and white photo symbolizes True Love.
Why you ask?
It's a picture that lasts a long time in memories.
Such as, True Love that we never forget.
It's a picture that never changes it's meaning.
Also, True Love doesn't change or die.
The picture only shows two colors, which are black and white.
In True Love there is two sides, it can be good and sad at times.
A black and white photo symbolizes True Love.
What does a black and white photo symbolizes to you?

photographers

I went out to Easton to a photoshoot and met up with two photographers. I met a guy name Anthony Marraccini that lives in Easton and is one of the owners of the Connexions fine art, antiques, and hand-crafted gifts gallery. He is a down to earth guy, outspoken, and outgoing! The story about his life and what he had to go through as a kid to young adult was quite interesting. His work as a painter is fantastic and Anthony is indeed talented in multiple areas.

Also, I went to another photoshoot the same day to meet up with another photographer name Ed Eckstein. He also lives in Easton and does his work in a private studio. He loves what he does for a living because he shows it in his work, and the man is wise, and has a talented gift. Enjoys taking pictures of people in black and white. In my opinon I think pictures that are in black and white are much more meaningful and real. Also, Ed thought about it in the same way. His photos are inspiring that grabs your attention and you can possible relate. A photographer is usually outgoing but Ed isn't he is very much layed back, calm person, and interesting to me.

While I was in Easton my classmates, instructors, and I went to a pizzeria to eat lunch. I ate three types of pizzas. I only took pictures of the one pizza I never tried before which was ham and pineapple. It was pretty good but the picture I took made the pizza look delicious. Trying to get good lighting and a perfect angle of the pizza is important. The photographer that inspired me to take pictures of food is Lou Manna. I love his pictures, and how he takes a piece of food or dish, and makes it look fabulous. I'd hope to meet him one day!

5K Women

©2010 Reina Lopez
The 5K was an excellent and great expierence. It was for a great cause and I enjoyed being apart of it. I felt sad about the woman story because my grandma is a breast cancer survivor. Maybe next year I'll walk the 5K for women all over the world!
