I decided to take the challenge of taking all of my contrast and texture shots outside. The weather was not what i expected it to be, so it made it difficult to find good pictures. I found this difficult, but also a challenge for myself and the viewer. It gave me the challenge to think outside the box to fit the pirameters of the project. Also, it gives the viewer the chance to try to understand the perspective i am coming from. THis project really allowed me to expand my pirameters as a photographer.

I had a lot of fun with food coloring with this project. I decided to try to  stretch the boundaries of Motion blur and try to incorperate water in my project. So, i ended up taking all my pictures using various combinations of my different food colors. For this project, i was supposed to create blur using motion and kineticism. Color, i decided can sreate a blur too. Enjoy!

What is the potential of photography?

Q: How can a photograph become more than just an image?
A: I think that a photograph, although it is a image, can become a statement. I believe that it becomes a photographers opinion on a certain situation, event or place. Also, I think that a picture can be seen through the photogrpahers eyes, at the point time. The picture explains how the photographer sees the setting.

Q:What afffect does size or scale have on the power of a photograph?
A: I think that the the size and scale of the subject of a photograph is what makes it powerful. I think that powerful photographs have a small subject with a detailed, large background, or a large subject with a not a detailed background. I think that these two scales make the viewer pay attention to the real meaning of te photograph.
Q:How does location and context change the way we precieve and understand photographs?
A: The context and location of a photograph, I believe is what makes or breaks a photograph. With a strong background, it helps the viewer understand what is going on in the situation. The stronger the background or context, is what makes the overall picture stronger.
Q:What can you take from JR's photographs to make your images stronger? How might your pictures become more impactful?
A: I think that I can take the essence of a strong theme for a group of pictures from JR's photographs. In many of his projects, he uses one idea and carries it throughout mutiple pictures. I think that by taking this idea of one strong theme for a few pictures will make my projects stronger and will make my overall projects stronger.
