Welcome to Trisha Carney's Senior Seminar Portfolio.

Photography allows us to capture important events. Black and white photography was invented in the early 1800s whereas color photography was discovered in the 1860s. Even though color was invented in the 1860s, it did not become part of everyday life until the 1960s. As photography changed so did cameras from analog to digital, however analog cameras still produce the best final product.

Black and white photos bring out an old time feel to the photo. When comparing a black and white photo to a color photo you can see a difference in the mood. Color photos usually have a joyful/happy mood and black and white photos have a dark/edgy mood. The program most used to convert color photos to black and white is Adobe Photoshop. It allows you take the color out and change the color levels of a photo. The levels either make the photo lighter or darker. Using this technology you can take photos today and give them an old time feel or just a different artistic perspective.
