I chose this photo because I like the straight on angle it has. It is very simple and it grabs your eye. I like that the paintings of flowers are decaying on this forgotten bench.

I chose this picture because it is my first negative scan. I’m used to processing film photos in the darkroom so this exercise was different and fun. I like this picture because you question what the subject is.

I chose this picture because I like the very simple composition. I like that the focus is only on the top. I am very drawn to close ups that force the viewer to question the subject.

I chose this picture because of it’s really beautiful lighting. It’s a pretty simple composition and subject. The lighting is really what caught my eye.

I chose this picture because of the differing focus. I like that only a certain section of the rocks and pavement is fully in focus. I also like that it is not centered.

I chose this picture because it is different than my usual photograph. I usually have high contrast in my pictures but in this one it is a subtle contrast. I like the emotion within the photograph.

I chose this picture because of it’s simplicity. I like the contrast between the blues and the diagonals of the buildings. I like that it is sharp enough that you can tell what the subjects are, but not sharp enough to detract from the design of the photo.

I chose this photo because I really like the contrast. I like that everything is really light except for the dirtiness on the subject. It adds a beautiful contrast to the photo. In a way, the contrast adds some elegance to a subject that would never come across as an elegant thing in your everyday world.
