Hey I thought I might leave a comment on everyone's image posts to start the conversation critiques a little more so that maybe we will talk more in class... feel free to comment on my work also so if I say something that upsets you, you can take it out on my work!
Jack-- I think you might need to step away from photographing your apartment complex. I feel like you keep showing that same image every week in class with the houses and orange light contrasting with blue sky and white moon. Go to different places to photograph the moon-- see what it looks like with less light pollution in a field or maybe try and photograph the moon when it comes out during the day or try and get the reflection of the moon in water. If you are able to get a reflection of the moon in water (or maybe even a window!-- not sure if that would count as a landscape but you could possibly argue for it!) For me this week your most successful photograph was number six, the second to last photograph. It really gave me the feeling of the world stopped for a split second and if I were to enter the photograph everything would be immediately set back into motion. It reminded me of that first glance at something that makes you turn and look back- like you though you saw something.The fact that you can see the tiny pollen/dust particles in the air really adds to this effect. Its almost as if once I reach into the photograph to catch one of these specks I will be transported to that exact moment. For some reason the dust specks are what help me engage the photograph. Sorry if I said anything to upset you! I'll see you Thursday!!-- Morgan
Hey Morgan Thanks for the comment, didn't see it till now. Your suggestions are very helpful, I'll try to devote for time to finding a better location. I understand what you said here. And I think I can say this for everyone, (including Eric), thank you for starting the conversation, and I'd love to join this "movement" :) See you Tuesday.
