Artist Statement: I was outside playing baseball with my brother when the texture on the baseball came to my attention. I grabbed a magnifying glass and took a photograph. I put it into photoshop and added a gradient map plus I used selective color. I incorporated my concentration by taking the photo outside in the dirt because baseball reminds of me of dirt because it is dirty sport. If I had to do this project over again I could maybe make the colored section more saturated so it's more visible.

Overall, I really like my final product especially with the magnification of the texture of the baseball. This photograph is probably my favorite final project I have done just because of how professional it feels and how the color and magnification really stand out.

This photograph is one of my favorite. I really like how in this photo draws your eyes to the color because the rest of the photograph is black and white. I also like how the glove isn't centered and I like all the textures from the ball and ground. What I like most about this photograph is that it feels smooth and professional. The editing feels seamless to me. I like my editing cause it gives the image character and is a unique idea.
