I decided to take this photo to capture the in-depth craftsmanship the Minster has to offer. This photo shows that even the smallest details inside the Minster are just as unique as the large structure itself. I wanted to include it in my blog to portray the small beauties within the Minster.

D. Man at ruins

I decided to take this photo because of the calm nature of the man against the church ruins. He was sitting alone on the park bench so peacefully in a location that was once under attack. I chose to include this photograph for that very reason. The balance between past and present is so apparent and has the ability to draw the eye inward.

J. Doorway High Camera Angle

I decided to take this photograph because i liked the deception of the high angle shot. In fact this door in only a few feet high, but because of the angle, it appears much taller. I wanted to include this shot because of the the beautiful stone work and muted colors.

I like how the photo captures the sweeping clouds in the back and the busy city below.

Edinburgh Structure

It seems as though this building is out of place in such a booming city I wanted to capture the obscurity. I included this photo because I think it is a beautiful building. I wanted to show the diversity of the buildings architecture landscape.

Newcastle Street Band

I took this photo because of the small town feel in a big city. I enjoyed walking through the booming city of Newcastle and seeing/hearing the local street band playing on the side of the road. I chose to include this photo because I felt like it portrayed more of the Newcastle vibe than of a picture of a lone person walking through the streets. In this picture you can sense the spirits of all the men playing.

The tree itself was inspiration for the photo. I chose to include this photo in my blog simply because of its strange qualities and beauty.



Newcastle Night

Abstract Iron

I took this photo for several reasons. The first because of how beautiful the structure and craftsmanship is and second because of my uncle. He was a blacksmith for most his life and recently passed away last year from ALS. It reminded me of him in many ways. I decided to include this photo because of the ironwork and the photos strange and abstract qualities.


Newcastle in Motion

I took this photo to represent the motion of the city. The cars are moving slowly through the city in front of the historic buildings of Newcastle. I like this photo for many reasons. It represents the old and new elements of the city. I included this in the blog because I wanted to show the movement of the vehicles against the old buildings of Newcastle.

The Lions 'Tower'

I decided to take this photo because I wanted to include the important landmarks of the town we currently live in. It is an important symbol here in Alnwick and i decided to include it in my blog. I like how the photograph is against the brightened sky which allows only the darkness of the figures to come though.


High Angle Plant Life

I decided to take this photo because the high angle shot allows for the vivid colors to pop. The greens, pinks, and purples show up against the gray stone behind. I wanted to include this photo in my blog because of the interesting quality the plant possesses and the angle at which the photo was taken.
