This is my Kaleidoscope for our project. I chose to do this picture for our project because I liked the idea of hands coming together and creating an interesting shape. I did not follow the instructions Mrs.Lupo gave us because I wanted to have the hands on an angle and not directly opposite of each other.

Sarah DiNardo
May 23, 2007
Period 3
Artist Statement
Born in Arlington, Virginia on October 8, 1990, Sarah DiNardo is a student at Washington-Lee High School. She is a sophomore in the class of 2009. Her education background of photography consists of this year in photo at Washington-Lee. She has always been interested in taking photographs but it was only this year she had the opportunity to take a photography class. She has a very open mindset when it comes to taking pictures. Her ideas develop when the instructor gives the class a project to complete. Sarah thinks about what would be interesting and compelling to shoot. Through out the year Sarah has progressed from just wanting to take pictures to thinking about would be artistically compelling to shoot and interesting for the viewer to look at. Sarah is motivated to take photos because she wants to express her interests and her point of view to the audience that is looking and the photographs. Another reason Sarah takes these pictures is so that she can learn more about how to shoot film and others can critique her work to help he become a better photographer.
She takes picture using a 35 mm SLR camera with 400 speed T-Max black and white film. She develops film by hand and prints her photos in a darkroom. She prefers to use Ilford glossy paper and Kodak filters to give the photos more contrast. She uses a tripod only when taking formal portraits. She holds the camera in her hands that rest of the time. The pictures Sarah takes reflect her personal life because she takes pictures of the pool and picture of Washington- Lee. She takes these pictures because she loves to swim and she is a student at Washington-Lee and she wants to show the audience who she is and what she finds important.
There are many artists that inspire her artwork. She is a fan of Ansel Adams because of his use of great depth of field in his nature scenes. Sarah like taking pictures with great depth of field because when looking a beautiful landscape you want everything to be in focus. She also likes the work of David Baily who was a portrait photographer in the 1960’s. David Baily took pictures of famous singers and models in Britain. She also enjoys looking at abstract artwork that has bright colors.
Sarah DiNardo has changed as a photographer this year because she has made mistakes, learned from her mistakes and has experienced what it is like to be a photographer first hand. She has learned a lot because her teacher gave her lots of direction in the beginning of the year and then let the class take those skills and apply them to real life situations. Sarah has enjoyed the experience of taking photography one and hopes to keep taking photographs through out her life.
