My sister declared her major last year, and, more intriguingly, her minor. She decided to minor in digital photography. She loves the course she is taking and the projects. I often help out with her assignments. One was texture, another depth of field, and yet another was portraits. I ran around with her trying to help her brainstorm cool shots for texture and depth of field.
One of my absolute favorites was the motion assignment. She came to soccer with me and just started snapping photos. Later that night, she enlisted my help again. It was almost pitch black at night, and she asked me to get a couple of flashlights. We walked out to the middle of our yard, she set up her camera, and I messed around with the flashlights. Which is essentially what she wanted me to do anyway. She had explained to me earlier that she wanted to get some shots of light trails. So I just danced around like an idiot with a flashlight in each hand and no one but my sister and her camera to see me. We laughed our heads of that night.
She's started shooting my senior pictures, too. It's nice having a photography minor for a sister, because those awesome shots are all free!
I love helping her out on her projects. Together, we come up with some creative shots, and we have so much fun.
