PS3 Controller
This is the controller to my Play Station 3. I thought the directional buttons and shaped buttons made good close-up photos. I liked the look of the picture of the shaped buttons in pixelated form, so I went with that. I also admired the texture of the directional buttons, which you don't think about as much when you're not doing a close-up. I also liked the way it look in low lighting, so I dimmed the lighting down a bit for that one.
Turntable
This is my dad's turntable sitting in the basement of our house. I can't really say what model it is. For the photo on top I turned on the turntable. This turned on the orange light and started spinning the turntable. I thought the turntable in motion as well as the orange light made for a very interesting effect, especially in lower lighting. The photo underneath is a pixelated close-up of the needle.
Lomography "Diana" Camera
This is another one of my dad's old camera's sitting in the basement. The top photo is the back of the camera. I felt that close up the texture looked very interesting and unusual. The bottom photo is of the lens of the camera. You can't really tell since it's pixelated, but in the original my reflection showed in the the lens, which looked pretty cool.
Adidas
This a pair of Adidas Superstar shoes my uncle gave me. The top photo was taken close up from the side. I liked the strong contrast between the black shoes and the bright green soles, as well as the fact that they take up equal amounts of the picture. The bottom photo is a pixelated version of the logo on the heel of the shoe. In colorful pixel form it reminds me slightly of the work of Andy Warhol.
Bluetooth Speaker
This is a bluetooth speaker given to me as a gift from my grandparents last Christmas. The top photo is the front of the speaker (where the music comes out). I liked the pattern on the front of the speaker. The bottom photo is actually the bottom of the speaker. Once again, I liked the way the pattern looked. The triangle pattern in pixelated view made for a strange and cool looking image.
