For this project I decided to focus on the mundane, ordinary objects I see on a daily basis. I wanted these images to fill my frame with an open composition. I focused on my viewpoint, the rule or thirds, lighting and simplifying my subject. I decided to photograph these objects from the angle in which I view them. I wanted these final images to be accompanied with a feeling, specifically the feeling I have when I am around these objects. The final images are a metaphor for my life and the world that inevitably surrounds me.
When initially thinking about my direction for this project, I decided I would simply snap photos during my day and come back to them when I had more time with the image. This plan worked very well for me. Ordinarily, I never would have taken such simple snapshots. But when Michelle mentioned to, "take pictures of things that people normally wouldn't", I decided to take on this challenge. I am pleased with the final outcome of these images.
Very mysterious and beautiful. I am not sure what I am looking at but not knowing keeps me looking longer and the longer I look the more I feel at peace! Looking like a mediation.
