Art as Language, Project #1

For the first project that was assigned, we were to look at the composition of each photograph we take. What is the purpose of the picture and how do the angles or times in which we take each picture effect what it ultimately looks like. These were 3 of my final prints.

This first picture was the one we chose to bring to our UCF aphasia clients today. This one is actually probably my favorite. The pattern immediately is attractive to my eye; I had more like this one to choose from but the reason I chose this one to print is because the split second time that I snapped the shot, the moment of this person walking was captured. Just that moment was able to fill in a lot of questions that would have been left about what this pattern is, but because of the curb and feet, it's easier to see that this is a cross walk captured in a different way than we normally see.

This second photo that I chose to print I think captures the essence of what we were aiming to do in this project. The whole person isn't shown, but the worn shoes clearly are. They belong to someone obviously, but it is kept anonymous. [I'll spill, they're mine :-)] But the worn look against the textured brick I think tells a story and makes us wonder where this person was going or where they were coming from.

This last one...it's just adorable. :-) From a photographic sense though and the project in mind, it's easy to see the framing of the picture. The baby is framed by the green areas and the blurry hand at the bottom.
