Zipper
This is my black and white photograph. I chose to do a zipper because it is something very simple and everyday that is usually overlooked. I believe it is important that in photography people realize that beauty can be found in everyday things, and you don't need a model or beautiful landscape to take a good photograph.

HDR Photography



I think HDR photography is really cool, and makes ordinary pictures look really unique and unusual. I don't have a problem with people choosing to use high dynamic range photography. I believe using your camera to its fullest ability is nothing to be ashamed of.
Some of the controversies surrounding high dynamic range photography include photo realism vs. surrealism. People seem to have problems with HDR photography because they think it makes the photograph look sloppy and unnatural and blurry. Most photo critics don't like HDR photography because they feel the purpose of photography is to capture life, realism, and moment, and HDR photography defeats that purpose.
