“American Queen Forever” (2008)
This was taken this weekend when the boat, The American Queen, was in town. It sails up and down the Mississippi River. On it’s stop in Winona i took some pictures. This is an example of rectangles with showing a close up shot of the boat, seeing all the boxes for the state rooms, this gives that it’s effect.
“Pink Flowers” (2008)
This is an example of circles in photographic terms. This photo was taken in my Mom’s garden near dusk. The small circles are seen in the pink dots of these flowers.

“Bend in a Wisconsin Road” (2008)
This photo was taken on highway 35/54 in Wisconsin, which is right across the river from where we are. When no cars were coming I got out of my car and took this photo. This is a Photographic Element of Curves. I toned down the colors of the photo to fit the mood of the weather. It was a cloudy day and looked like rain. I personally love the lonely feeling you get when you look at this.
Diagonal Lines October 5, 2008
“Walking up” (2008)
This photo was taken of my Mother as we were walking around taking photos across the river. This is an example of a diagonal lines photo. As she walked up a staircase i told her to stop. I captured this only showing the hand and part of the body for a dramatic effect. the colors of this photo also give character to the time of year this was taken in.

“All Aboard!” (2008)
This photo was taken when the boat, the American Queen, came to Winona this weekend. This is from a cropped photo, focusing on the two subjects of two very similar looking men. They are both looking at something, which creates Dynamic Tension, and they are also more than one point to look at in the photo. This is a Several Points Photo.
