Project 8 Inkjet prints and soundscape video describing Native American issues that are getting better

Native American how they are portrayed in the media What i wanted to talk about for the last project is how the media portrayed Native Americans for quite awhile. Now the media and people have changed their opinions cause the media started to actually portray Native Americans in a good way. We also as a community especially in Lawrence want to appreciate the Native Americans tribes.  In this presentation I have some inkjet prints that I think portray how we as a community are appreciating them and thats relating to how the media is now portraying the Native American Tribes. I also have a soundscape video that I had fun creating. The soundscape video is the sound of a peaceful Native American tune.

     So I still want to create a portfolio. When thinking about it more I want to play with the concept of black and white, and color photos now when creating this concept of creepy or uneasy photos, I really want to play with how I could make a color photo and a black and white one have the same uneasy feeling and recently I went around campus with my Nikon camera and I was trying to use harsh lighting and deep shadows to try to create the dramatic contrasts, an d I am thinking about getting those developed this weekend or next week. I am hoping that all the photos turned out the way I planned but if not I can alway retake them. For the color photos I am thinking about using d esaturate colors or to try to distort my photo to a muted color. I am thinking of using photoshop to try to get that feeling in the colored photos. I also am c onsidering adding a slight tint or hue to my photos like cool blues.      These are two of the photos I recently took one of the ocean and one of the moo
