I wasn’t super sure what to do with this shot, but this chest is full of random toys that I use to play with from when I was younger- nowadays I barely open it, as it is buried under heavier boxes full of old schoolwork.
I thought it would be interesting to do a knolling photo for one of my photoblogs, and I thought it was alright until I started writing this caption- I didn’t notice just how fuzzy the shot was. It was kind of ironic- though this was the shot that was not supposed to be filtered and I normally don’t edit, there are a bunch of things that I really did want to work on with this shot- but no matter, too late now…
I wanted to capitalize on this sky and the texture here, and really emphasize the dreamlike ethereal colors in this shot- though the picture itself was a bit fuzzy, I think the textures still show through and the colors are just a bit unrealistic, which I thought added to the weirdly calm aesthetic I was going for.
I wasn’t super happy with this photo, I wasn’t really sure what to do but thought that the shadows cast by this lamp would look neat- but composing this shot was far more difficult that I thought it would be.
I wasn’t super inspired for this photo- I decided to use an eraser peeking his head out from behind a metal mouthpiece, such to give this photo some character- though, it doesn’t really make sense for it being in the center.
This week’s photo prompt was to show “New Beginnings.” For this, I used a photo of these water droplets after the rain at Pearl Harbor- You can interpret it as you wish.
Though this photo should really be considered “trash and recyclables,” I wanted to juxtapose the idea of waste with the concept of cleanliness- which is why I tried to gather up clear glasses and plastics to force those two sides of a coin together.
For balance, I originally took a portrait of an apple- it didn’t work out so well- but I had also taken this photo, which I think balances itself out quite well with the plants on either side of the picture. Also the colors were fantastic, I didn’t have to do any editing at all- though I guess I don’t often edit these photos, anyway.
This tree is very representative of “home” for me, as it was there since the beginning- but also our neighborhood has a bunch of these trees, so I guess it’s symbolic of our area. In any case, I really liked the colors and the nostalgic softness of the shot.
