This photo focuses on a small part of a larger scene, which is that of an abandoned-looking shed on campus. I assume it isn't abandoned, since they're mostly efficient around here, but this bit of graffiti must've been considered insignificant enough to look over. I would've captured a wider shot of the scene, but the sharp lighting unfortunately washes out half of the image. In this image, I attempted to parallel the despair of the vandal's message with the ramshackle, overgrown aspect of the scene as a whole. Cobwebs and dead leaves surround the door, adding to the mood of quiet sadness.
"I attempted to parallel the despair of the vandal's message..." - Success.
ReplyDeleteThe awkward balance of composition, color, and exposure is a weird blend that feels as uncomfortable as you hoped it to.
Great way to keep an eye out for interesting images around you. This is something that could be easily skipped.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to catch the graffiti in the shade. I think the overall effect of the shade makes it look forgotten.
