For my first photo, I decided to shoot something that I really love: piano. I saw this old, electric keyboard and knew that I needed to capture it. I really like how all of the lines seem to converse at one point way in the distance, and I also like how you can see the dust on the front keys and red velvet. The contrast between the black and white keys also appeals to me.

2. This is a photo of car and bike tracks in the snow in front of my house. I found it interesting to think about how all of the different lines intersect with each other, even though they were all made at different times under different circumstances, and they all come together seemingly at random to make a pattern. I don't like the color in this one, however, and I find it rather bland. If I could do it again, I would shoot from an angle instead of head on, and I would try to bring out the contrast between the road and the snow.

This one fascinates me. I was helping Sariah shoot her Childhood project, and when I saw her porch, I knew that I needed to get a shot through the wooden beams. Looking through them made me feel claustrophobic, like I was locked in prison. I wanted to capture that feeling of claustrophobia that I was feeling, and I think that for the most part, I succeeded.

I ride my bike a lot, so I have to deal with these things every day. I decided to see if I could make an interesting photo out of them. I failed. But I do like how the racks form a straight line going to the left, even though the racks themselves are made of curvy lines. I like thinking that you can create straight lines out of objects that are not conventionally straight. I'm not a huge fan of how it is lit, and I wish that those bikes weren't there because they ruin the line that the bike rack was making. But I kinda liked the idea behind the photo.

6. Bonus photo!
I was watching a Ben Folds music video, and I saw that Josh Groban had a 2 second cameo, and he totally looks like James! Just throwin' that out there.
I really like your first picture. I love the black and white with a little pop of red. I love that you can see the dust, it adds a lot of cool texture, but I also hate it because it looks so real and makes me want to clean it!
ReplyDeleteHaha! It is James' doppleganger. I am actually going to comment on two photos, three and four, in how together, they make a really strong contrast! Straight lines to curved. Nice job lining them up next to each other.

ReplyDeleteYour piano keys picture is creative. I love the perspective that the keys look huge like you can even step on them. The contrasting colors are cool and then the affinity of the keys in a row make it interesting. Also, my eyes travel upwards on the keys.

ReplyDeleteI like the texture of photo #2. The sizes and shapes of the lines all converging over the top of one another gives this shot a good sense of chaos, but the fact that they're all straight and pointing in the same direction gives it an interesting sense of order -- the contrast between these two dichotomous feelings in the picture make it interesting and appealing.
