The focus of this series was architecture in the city and finding shapes in the surroundings. It was interesting to see a large building from far away and when you looked closer you found details that you would not have otherwise noticed. Sometimes taking things slow you can find the most intricate and unusual shapes. Shapes are all around, they make up a whole. I took pictures from gates, wire fenced, doors, street sewers, and much more. When I was editing I tried to contrast the black and white of the photos. My favorite are the pictures with the reflection of the building because it combined so many different elements. The squares of the frame, the interesting shapes the leaves made, and the building with all its square windows. The window the reflection was shown in also makes the building look distorted, so instead of a perfect, structured building it is curved and it also under plays the proportions of the building. By looking close at the sidewalks and street, you could see the antiquity of San Francisco; how beaten down the sewers look and how many dents and bumps are in the road. I also like the depth and shadows in some pictures and the octagonal shape of the manhole.

You did a great job with his assignment. I love all the different hidden shapes you found. You did a good job editing all of these as well. Each one has its own look and texture. I like how you balanced different shapes in the same picture, making each one have its own look.
ReplyDeleteI like how you put allot of reflections into your photos, it really makes them more interesting to look at. I really like the picture of the manhole and how you can see your shadow taking the picture. How you used shadows and reflections in this was really cool.
