My concept is how godly I am. On top of a mountain, resembling a Hindu god with 6 arms, and the holiest of all birds, the Bald Eagle, flying above me, I look like a god.
Presenting to you, "Bole, Mountain Protector".

I am very happy with the results. 

In order to complete this project, I started with my original 3 photos of myself and selected myself out of each photo and layered them on another page. After cleaning them up, I put them on top of each other in order to make them look like they are all a part of me (used the smudge tool and blur tool to make that effect). I then used layer masks to choose the parts of my body that i wanted to add to the background image. I then positioned my body on top of the photo to line up with the preexisting legs(because the legs in my own photo didn't come out well). i then copied in a photo of an eagle and copied and pastd another layer of my head which i warped and inversed its color.

LETTER REFLECTION:
1. The process the i partook in to complete this assignment was one of great contemplation. I think that it was able to assist me because it gave me guidelines and instructions when starting to work. I arrived at the idea from Gregory Mack's, my dear amigo, tee shirt. on the shirt was the logo for a rap group that we enjoy and their logos resembled slime, and I liked it. lastly, the peer feedback did not help me.

 2.  I represented my theme of "slime" by making my letter look like it was made of gross, green gooey, slime. I made it look as if it was dripping down with slime just as it would look as if it really was slime, but its not! I also added a gradient with the colors to make it look as if it was glimmering.

3.The most challenging aspect of this project was the coloring because there were so many colors to choose from that i didn't know which to choose! I settled on green and dark blue to show the gradient and to look most like slime!

4.I am satasfied with my project because it not only looks flawless and amazing and perfect but it also resembled slime.

5. I wouldn't change anything about this project because it was fun, creative, and engaging! i feel like i worked well and produced something that i really liked.

I traveled to Thailand this summer with a group of 25 other teenagers. This photo was taken at the Kings Palace in Bangkok.

After two weeks in Thailand, half of the group and I went on a 2 day excursion to Siem Reap, Cambodia. We visited Angkor Wat Temple and took this photo.

This is a really good sandwich that I ate this summer while on a bus going back into the City. I had many sandwiches just like this beautiful one all summer long but this is the only one fortunate enough to be photographed.
