For my “Detail” submission I chose the photo of the pollen
stick that hangs from the tree in our front yard. I feel that these beautiful little things
resemble something that could have been carefully sculpted when seen up close,
because of the neat designs that their little buds grow in, which is a detail
that is often overlooked. I hope between
the close up of the pattern with its backlit highlights and sun rays can give
the viewer a sense that these objects have never before been seen properly.
For my
“Frame” submission I chose the two headstones because of the already existing
relationship between these objects. One
could possibly miss the fact that these are a husband and wife since they are
both facing in different directions and are further apart than most related
headstones, but the frame solidifies and encapsulates this relationship,
drawing the viewers eyes back and forth between the two main subjects, forcing
us to read the text on them both.
I chose the
parking garage for my “Thing” submission.
The subject of the photo is unmistakable and yet totally ordinary in and
of itself. I feel that what elevates
this object to artistic worthiness of being photographed is the yellow warm lighting
within the structure and the beautiful chill of the purple and indigo sky
behind it, all interlaced with the geometric dark pattern of the structure.
For “Time”
I submitted the silhouetted tree with the traffic lights passing behind
it. In my opinion this is a very self-explanatory
decision. The exposure was taken for
15-20 seconds so it literally captures the movement of time by tracking the
lights as they moved through space.
Finally we
have my submission in the “Vantage Point” category. This was chosen for the fact that it is a
vantage point that was scary and not terribly easy to reach, therefore I
believe it to be a pretty uncommon way to view this particular stretch of
street and sidewalk (looking directly downward from five stories up).
