Design and Color Photo

I put this photo on here to show a bit of what I have been doing in my classes. I really liked how this photo turned out. I used it for my Design/Color class to show an asymmetrical composition. The assignment was to take 2 photos; one was to show a symmetrical composition and the other was to show an asymmetrical composition. I mostly like the lighting in this photo. Most of the photos I took that day have an interesting look because of lighting. I also like this photo because of the organic shapes, and it makes a good contrast with the geometric building in the background.

So I'm 19... now what?

This past Saturday (March 7) was my birthday. I turned 19. 19 is probably the least exciting age to turn. When you are little every birthday feels special. When you turn 12 you finally get out of primary and get to go into Young Womens. 13 you are finally a teenager, and at 16 you get to drive and date. Then at 18 you're finally an adult. When I turned 18 I thought it was exciting because I was an adult, but I still felt like I should be a youth. So at 18 I kind of felt in between an adult and teenager. I guess I still am a teenager in a way since I'm 19, but now I think 'wow I really am an adult.' Other than that 19 seems pretty boring, and I can't think of a birthday to look forward to. But that doesn't really matter, I still had a good birthday.
My birthday felt very different this year since I was not with my family to celebrate it. After having 18 birthdays at home, it's weird having one at college a way from home. But my roommates made it special for me. The night before my birthday we ordered a couple of pizzas, and my roommates bought a Caramel Turtle Ice cream Cake while I was at snowboarding. We watched a couple of movies while we ate. On my birthday I just relaxed the whole day. Then later that night I watched Extravadance. The college has a dance alliance team that performs for the school and they travel to different places to perform. It was really good, and I really enjoyed it.
