Wednesday
This is a particularly strange object I came across on a hillside path by the stadium parking lot. I took it entirely with the intention of preserving its uniqueness before it disappears (you never know). I like it particularly because of its crescent moon shape; it only makes the question boil in my head: what created this? What did used to be? Why was it here in the bark? It's what I like to call a random gem; a moment we have no clue why it happens or why its there, but it's wonderful in its own way. I think I couldn't have done this photo any other way, as the contrast between the bark/concrete and the wet dirt is clear, and gives a feeling of recent placement.

This tree is in a small patch of pines on campus, and this tree in particular was unusual for its very low-bent branch. After thinking about it awhile, I came to a firm guess that this is due to many years of people climbing on it and resting on it; it is relatively close to the ground for most people to climb. While it may seem like a given, considering the popular tourist-vibe of BYU, it's also charming, and it's planted there for all time.

Passing by a gutter, I got an idea: can my phone clearly photograph the other side of that surface grill? Placing the phone on the grill, I got a bright-as-day layout of the grimy, yet colorful interior. This image tells me about the hidden treasures that we walk over every day, the smaller things of nature that hide from view. I love how the water extends the view to the leaves of the tree above the grill.



Spencer, your photos are so well composed and are very interesting! I love the crescent-shaped cement block; that is a total mystery. I like that you took it in black and white. For me, that kind of makes the concrete blend in with its environment almost as if it's supposed to be there.
ReplyDeleteI love the light in the second picture. It's so bright, kind of like the personality of the tree. It's really interesting that mankind has such a strange impact on nature. It is super weird to think that people made the tree curve like that. I also appreciate the American flag in the background. It's a great tribute to our country, especially during this time.
Your final picture is so neat. I honestly had no idea how I was seeing this. It really took me a few minutes to realize that I was looking down a drain; at first I thought the cement wall on the left was a sidewalk, and I just had no idea what was going on. Besides being well framed, I think this photo is cool because it also shows the inside of something that we never look at. Great job!
Wow cool photos, i love how the last one has an effect of drawing you in, like a strong 3D image.
ReplyDeleteThis is a a really cool photo. It really has motion, fluidity, and feeling. I am reffering to the gutter one.
