Photos - March 14-18

1

These are some stairs leading down to the basement of my house.  I've always found them to be a little creepy, so I wanted to capture that feeling in this photo.  I wish I'd been able to move the bikes, but they were chained to the fence.  Also the broom at the bottom of the stairs feels a little weird.

I've always liked photos of objects in places that they shouldn't be.  This chair, for some reason, has been outside my house for a few weeks now, and I decided to finally take a picture of it.  It's a little cluttered, especially with the blue wire on the ground, but I still like the strangeness of it.

Here's another house photo, this one an exterior of the side window.  I tried to divide the frame in half with the window taking up half of the frame, and the brick wall taking up the other half.  I was a little off, but I do like the stark contrast between the different sides of the frame and the lack of depth this creates.

Last house photo, I swear.  This is a different angle of the window.  I love the texture of the peeling paint.  The angle is similar to a photo I took last week, but I like how this one feels a little more gritty and old.

This is a tire.  Like the last photo, I liked the texture of this photo.  I also like taking closeups of everyday items.  Sometimes they turn out cool.  This one...is just okay.  It's a little bland, even with the tonal contrast and splash of blue.  I also like the shape.  I just wish that I had framed it with some other objects to help it stand out a little more.

  1. You have some cool photos this week Steven! They all have a similar feel and interesting character it's hard to pick a favorite. I really like the 3rd and 4th. I love the texture of the paint chipping.

  2. I love the grain on the 4th photo. The textures you captured made this 2D image feel a lot more 3-dimensional, very cool.
