Attractive & Repulsive #1.

For my first repulsive picture I decided to do something that I personally think is very disgusting. Cigarettes in general are gross, due to the smell, they are very unhealthy and kill your lungs, and they are a waste of money, seeing as how they cost almost or at least seven dollars. But the fact that people just throw them on the ground after they suck the nicotine out of them is even worse. It's not helping our enviornment at all. I thought this was a good photo to take because of all the standpoints people have on smoking and cigarettes. Also, to show that something so disgusting can compose a beautiful picture.

For my first attractive picture, I decided to do something that you see everyday. People don't pay much attention to the little things in life. I used something as simple as a small plant surrounded by grass and sticks . Even the simplest things around you can be beautiful, it all just depends on how you capture them. For the composition of this picture, I layed in the grass next to this plant, using the close up tool on my camera, and took many different photos at different angles until I found one that was attractive. I changed the style of the picture so that it was black and white, then layed it over the original copy of the photo.

Gregory Crewdson

Gregory Crewdson's photo's are not very exciting. Most of them are of everyday scence that he doesn't change much. Although I do like this picture because the shadows make you want to look closer at the car, which then leads your eyes up to the beautiful night sky which sticks out the most in the picture. The car is sort of pointing down the road which leaves you wondering what else is down there. There is an aspect of a broken pattern from the windows beacause only a few of them have lights on and the rest are dark. Line would be the dominant element due to the telephone wires and the lines down the road.

Digital Montages

For my first montage, I took a picture of my boyfriend walking away, down a path. Then on top of that I put a picture of me holding onto his hand, trying to get him to stay. The message of this montage is that you shouldn't let go of something that makes you happy. No matter how hard things get, if you keep going further down that same path, things will get better with time. This is important to me because I tend to give up on things that mean a lot to me. I never give it the chance to make me happy. I just assume that I should get out of the situation.

For my second montage I decided to go with a fun theme. I first took a picture of my boyfriend swinging at a playground with a really happy look on his face. Then I took a picture of a toy truck that was in the sandbox. I chose the theme that inside of everyone, there is still a little kid. You don't have to grow up right away, there should be room in your life to always just remember the things you did when you were a child.
