Light

This photo is different from the two that follow. Its taken in the same place, but the light has a different quality. It isn't as unnerving, its almost inviting. I really like the fact that the light is a strong blue, it has a clear color.





















In this photo I like the somber warm color of the walls and how it plays against the cool light spilling through the door. I also like that the eye is lead to the door by the banister and the warm light rising from the right corner.























This photo is my favorite. I love the play between the strong light and the dark wall facing the viewer. Its has the same inviting quality as the previous photos but is much more unnerving.

















This photo was taken in the subway. I feel that the subway has a tainted sense to it, the smell, look and overall grim of it. I feel that the light playing against the peeling paint captures this quality.

Abstract

I feel that an abstract photo should focus on formal elements, such as light, color, and composition. And so by focusing on these elements present the viewer with an interesting moment which would of otherwise gone unseen.






I choose this photo for the juxtaposition of the straight shapes given by the shadows against the organic shapes of the paint.



















I Choose this photo for the play between the flatness of the surface and definite shape of the tape and small ball.













This photo drew me for the shifts in color between the areas covered by the shadow and those in the light.














I was drawn to this photo for the play between the ball, lonely with a confined shape, and the surface it sits on, the complicated happily chaotic paint.













I choose this photo for many of the same reasons I chose the others, but mainly for the fact that its a combination of all I've said above. It has the play between the clean definite shape (ball) and the haphazard surface, and the shifts in color due to the shadow which is itself a geometric shape resting on organic.

These images were chosen because of the way the light plays within them, the repetition and variation of the different boats or the slight oddness of the subjects such as the key hole which seems to hold the sea and the cat which stares at you.
