(Sorry, but I couldn't figure out how to let you click on the pictures to make them bigger.)
Since I have been neglecting updating anything on me, and people have asked me to, I thought I'd just add a bunch of pictures I've taken from Japan. To start out at least. I have fixed these all up so that they look better, or more how they really looked than my camera could make them. But these are just some of the best I took. I took over about 1000 pictures.
---------------------------------------
In school, I have been involved in Cross Country. Just managing though.
I have also been working on art in my AP Art class. I decided to work on photography in it, since it is the quickest and easiest thing in art for me to do. I am pretty well centered in art, but I take forever to do anything. So here are some pieces I'll be using in my portfolio, or possibly using. As well as just some extra things I've been working on. I'll give a little explanation for each too I guess.
-----
These I did last year. The one on the left is called Low Five, and I painted it in my Painting 2 class using acrylic. The one on the right is called Dead Tree, and I did it in my Drawing 1 class using chalk pastels.
-----
These four pictures were taken in Japan. I liked them enough though to use them in my portfolio. They were each taken in various places, except the last two, which were taken in a garden that was a couple blocks from one of our hotels.
-----
These are all self portraits I took. All of them I believe I'm going to use the the portfolio. The first picture I took a while ago. It has so many variations, and I have used it so many different times. It is by far my most used image. This variation is the last one I made though. It is collaborated with two pages I made in my Artist's Journal I made last year during that class.
The middle one I took, and I tweeked the colors, brightness, contrast, all that good stuff.
And the final one is a piece that I threw together using different pictures of my eyes. Each one has a different color style that I used.
-----
These are just random pictures I took when I was bored that ended up being good. I did change them up, but that's basically it.
-----
This last one is one of the very first pictures I took when I first got my camera. It is largely cropped, and I changed the colors drastically, as you can see. But it is one of my first.

Matthew, you had so many pictures from Japan, that I don't remember any of these that you've posted! I'm so excited that you did post them however, and the ones that you did pick are really cool!
I'm am VERY proud of you! I wish that I expressed that more to you, other than the constant nagging I do! I appreciate the young man that you have become.
I LOVE YOU!
