It took me a lengthy amount of time to figure out the best way to utilize WordPress as a constructive, relevant, and expressive tool for my project this quarter and the conceptualization happening for the work I am doing. I have felt an enormous amount of self-inflicted pressure for everything that goes on this site to be fully coherent and expressive of the conceptualization for this project and my pieces, as at times it has been rather murky and I do not want to confuse anyone or myself further. I have spent the past seven weeks laying out images, ideas, photographs, sketches, and many things in between on what I imagine to be the “workbench” or “dining room table” of this project and program. I have now reached a point where the ideas and influences are merging as I begin to “make myself a plate”, weaving my journal notes and work into writing. I am beginning to define and fully develop my thoughts, coming to a ripe understanding of what I mean by “space between”, creating a vocabulary to articulate what I am learning, feeling, making, and seeing.

This week I was supposed to practice packaging photography but, after reading the small paragraph about packaging I realized it was going to be hard for me to do it because I wasn’t actually packaging my bread. I just continued working with my available light source which was
natural light and my kitchen lights.
I placed the bread on a plain black plate and put a white reflector board behind it so I could light up the back of the bread and to make sure there wouldn’t be any harsh shadows. I set my tripod up and put my camera high enough that when you look at the image it would look like you are looking down at it.
I set my camera to manual mode, attached the remote cord to it and started taking pictures.
After, I was all done taking pictures I did my basic editing in photoshop. I adjusted the levels, brightness and contrast. Then I sharpened the image using a high pass filter.
