In my still life I used the volleyball I received from my team, a basketball piggy bank, and minerature Red Sox helmets.  I used these objects because they all represent something I love.  Volleyball and basketball are my two favorite sports.  In addition to this the Red Sox are one of my favorite professional sports teams, and I try to watch as many of their games as I can throughout the season.  I put the volleyball in the center of the objects because it was the biggest object and means the most to me and thenI rested all of the other objects around it.  The lighting and shadows in the pictures differs because I manipulated the studio lights and changed the angle that I shot the pictures at in order to get different lighting in all of the pictures.
