Photography

I began this project by looking around my home and finding objects that struck my attention. For instance, the picture of four circles came from a pillow in my home. When it caught my eye, I thought about why this object made me look at it rather than just glance over it. I realized it was the circles juxtaposes the square pillow, combined with the inverse colors that made me pay attention. I used this process for most of the other photos. When I say my piano, I immediately saw lines. When I saw the leaf with sunlight beaming through, I just wanted to touch it to feel the texture. I found my myself looking at things and connecting them to the elements and principles.

Then I began looking outside and as I walked around I began to notice things. The streetlight that was at an angle but somehow is still in proportion with the tree to left and right. Which I captured by using the black and white effect on my camera. Looking at the dead end sign at the end of my street I kept seeing a "V" form. The snow mounds and then the sign itself and then the branches of the trees.

This project made me stop and think about why a simple object catches my eye or just looks beautiful. My favorite photograph is the icicle picture. It is the harmony of it that compelled me to capture it.
