"The Lavender Knife"
This is a knife I have given my mother for Christmas. She has been wanting a glass breaker and a seatbelt cutter for her car for sometime now and I found this knife and thought it was just perfect. It is has purple hand piece and a soaring bald eagle on it, which was just perfect for her as she loves animals and the color purple. The picture was taken with an iPhone 6 camera and edited using Photoshop. The technique that was used was I turned the whole picture black and white, (to remove the slight yellow reflection from the floor and background), then using the erase tool, I removed the filter from the purple part of the knife to really make it show and be the center of the piece. This piece shows my personality as I collect knives and I want to share my hobby with my family to.
"The Candy House"
My brother recently received a lego candy house for christmas and he and I built it. He has taken my passion of legos from me and has built off of my collection. I took this picture with an iPhone 6 camera and used photoshop to edit the picture. In the editing process i removed some dust and a little bit of noise in the background. This is a symbol of my love of legos and my joy of being with my brother.
"General G."
This is a picture of a General Gevious action figure in all it's glory. It was taken at my best friend Justin Michael's house. Its symbolizes my love of star wars and hanging out at his house after soccer games and on the weekend. I used an iPod 5th gen. camera and photoshop to edit the picture. using photoshop I turned the whole picture black and white, (to avoid the distracting color of the carpet).I then changed his eyes and lightsabers back to their original color to the picture extra zing.
"Wookie Pezz Holder"
This is a picture of a candy holder in the shape of a Wookie from starwars. This picture was taken early in the morning when there was sun and i managed to get the light to reflect perfectly. Not much editing was needed in this picture, however i did crop a bit of extra space away from the sides to make the main object pop. I also cleared some dust away from the main object its self to make things look better. This picture symbolizes my love of starwars and candy as i love eating candy when ever i can get some.
"Delivery Truck"
Here is another Lego I have put together. It is a special lego christmas tree delivery truck. This particular truck was only available through amazon as a special with 75$ of shipping. My dad got it for me when we bought presents on amazon a few years back and I loved it. Now my brother puts it in the christmas village my family makes every year. I took this picture with an iPhone 6 camera and edited it with photoshop. I used the paintbrush to remove the dust of the truck and make the pieces all one color again.
