Farm Photos

November 25, 2008

Yesterday I went out to an Organic Farm out in Sooke. I wanted to go out to a farm and take some photos to show where food comes from. I am starting to think about what I want to do for my portfolio, mostly food related items, and I thought going to a farm would give a be an interesting location and offer different point of view towards food. Although I had never met the people who run the farm, they were courteous enough to let me wander around their greenhouses, which in November is where most things are being grown. I hope to go back in the spring. I would also like to get in touch with the owner of a local smokehouse here in Langford, and do some shots of their food and prep. The farm I visited yesterday sometimes supplied produce the Smoken Bones, so it would tie together nicely.

And here are the photos:

Since School Started

November 6, 2008

Since school has started I have been taking lots of photo’s, duh! Some for school, some for fun, and some just to practice. Here is a random assortment of photos. For more photos you can check out flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/jessegirl/).

In other news, I am stoked about Obama winning the election.


This is one of the first photos I took for school, down at Clover Point, Victoria.


I built a light box and took some pictures of a plant that I accidentally killed. Ooops!


Two of my classmates fooling around for the camera in Beacon Hill Park.
