Bad Dog Arts Photography Show

We all brought artifacts to make an altar that represented what was important to everyone!  The dog that says bad dog that everyone signed, Abi made from a stencil and spray paint!
My close to final piece! We had a box that we could do anything we wanted with as well as a board to decorate for the background. The two weeks was not quite enough time, so none of us completely finished our pieces! I made a river for the background, which will eventually have a quote on it, my pictures will be mounted so they're 3D and I will have doors on my box so the piece is interactive.
This picture just makes me laugh! Obviously Beth and I knew the picture was being taken because we're looking at the camera, but our faces are anything but "camera ready"!

I was accepted into a photography apprenticeship with Bad Dog Arts for 2 weeks this summer. A professional photographer, Bruce Hucko, came to teach us the ins and outs of photography! 3 girls, 1 mentor and 1 videographer came to Salt Lake from Las Cruces, New Mexico. Irene Oliver-Lewis was the mentor from Las Cruces. During the 2 weeks, we learned how to make better photos, improve our writing skills, edit our photos using Lightroom and Photoshop and work with many other artists to achieve a common goal. It was such an amazing experience!
When I get my CD of the photos I made I will post some!
