GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN — I took this picture in Mapleton. You will notice that there is nothing behind the tall tree, but this wasn’t always the case. An old white farmhouse where my Great Gram Ruth grew up used to sit in that field. The old house burnt down last year and left the field bare.
HUMAN STRENGTH — I created this photo to show the hidden aspect to human nature, and also to show the power associated with human transcendentalism. In doing so, I was able to compose my photo to show power and strength, along with intelligence. My favorite part from this photo is the clarity of the eyes and the way they stare straight at you, delivering an instant effect on its viewer. My intent is for the photo to not have a creepy aspect, but to resemble the strength associated with humans and nature.
CORN IN CONTRAST — For this assignment our class took a bus to the School Farm to try to find some good pictures of leading lines with the rows of corn and apple trees. I peeled back some corn and noticed how great the contrast of the yellow and white was with the darkness of the sky that day. I think the slant of the corn stalks in the background adds to the corn leading up to the sky.
CAUTION, MOOSE CROSSING — This photo was taken on the Oxbow Road in the North Maine Woods. It was the day after a foot and a half of snow had fallen. The moose was not scared and moved very slowly. It’s probably a good thing we stopped, the Arctic Cat would have been no match for a moose!
