9/18/15

This picture was taken on location while I was shooting my first piece for this class. The scene itself is one that lends itself naturally to deep space, with the rushing river stretching out towards the mountains, but I thought it was more interesting to frame it within the graffiti of the bridge. This had an interesting unintended effect of flattening the image out, but I like the result. I also like the juxtaposition of the man-made, worn-down and disrespected and the powerful, eternal natural.

  1. The contrast really jumps out at you. I wonder who exactly Joe is and why he feels he is so important to ruin the moment. This is Nunn's park, right? Nice area.

  3. Who is Joe? Although that giant name is distracting, that can be used to your advantage. To me, this shot isn't about the beauty of Nunn's park, but how that natural beauty is kind of ruined by selfish humans...

  4. Again, this is a man-made and nature comparison. Although the man-made appears destructive, I find it oddly beautiful against the naturally beautiful river.
