Random IMA Trip...

This weekend I decided to take a trip to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I've never been before but it is an amazing place to go. It's completely free! There were 3 floors of art and then a really cool garden area that you could walk through. Here's some of the pictures I took while I was there. Enjoy!



Well I took a few pictures of the flowers and such that were in the gardens. This was probably my favorite one. I've always been a fan of the closeup pictures. I like how in focus the bright pink is and the blurred out green I feel adds to it.


This bridge was pretty cool. I took a picture like this in high school. Except then I used the card catalog handles. Again I like the front part being in focus and the back being super blurred out. If I ever do senior pictures this would be a cool spot to do them.


This was a really cool painting in the art gallery. Took a while to get the colors right when I took it because of the lighting. But it was one of my favorite in the gallery.


Some sculpture in the Asian Art gallery. I read the sign for this one...apparently this was some temple guardian. Would have kept me away from a temple if I saw this guy coming towards me.


I really like this picture. It's like he's shooting the arrow right at you. Took a few tries to get the focus just right, but I really like how it turned out.

People on the Circle...

Alright so I went downtown after I got off work today and headed to the circle. My goal was to take some pictures of people just doing whatever they do. It was pretty fun and got to talk to some interesting people. While I was there the IPL basement caught on fire so took some pictures of the firefighters hanging out too. Check 'em out!

I'm quite the fan of how the sun looks in this picture of the monument on the circle. And the clouds look pretty cool here too I think.

These are some firefighters that were sitting on the circle when the IPL basement caught on fire. They were pretty funny guys.

Some random girl that I took a picture of. It was fun to hear people's reactions when I asked them if I could take a picture of them.


This lady was really nice. She let me take quite a few pictures of her. These two are my favorites. I like on the upper one how the colors are very warm. On the bottom one if it wasn't for that stupid sign in the background I'd like it a ton more.
