Each of these pictures has a story behind it. They inspire me when I think about each of them. The first picture is a forgotten red plastic chair left at Orange Beach this summer. People will walk by it for days, sitting in the sun, and then under the moon. Next is a simple street sign of the theatre I used to intern at. By itself it does not mean much, but rather when you look at what it represents, (creativity, power, fame, community, to name a few) it becomes inspirational. Next is a picture from Obama’s inauguration. I like this picture because it is just a snapshot of everything else that was going on when the nation was focused on the capitol. Next is a bridge and ledge hidden deep in the woods. I found it while camping and watched a gorgeous sunset in complete solitude. Next is in Mannheim, Germany outside of a modern art museum. I love this picture because while it looks real, it is just a flat steel man that many people walk by and never notice. I had to throw in the next picture because it makes me laugh every time I see it. It is in the parking lot of a hotel outside of Madrid, Spain. It really captures the mood of the day, when everyone was feeling trapped and left behind. Lastly is one of my favorite pictures. It was taken off a small bridge in Florence, Italy early in the morning. It is a simple, straightforward picture but I love the composition of it and the quick snapshot of a Italian man’s life.
I like these pictures because they make me think. I don’t know what’s going on in the big picture or in these people’s lives. I chose this first picture because I like different cultures. I’m not sure where this is or what this actually is a picture of, but I like the color and the composition of it, and it makes me wonder. Next is a picture that hangs over my bed. It is a snapshot of NYC’s Times Square. NYC is one of my favorite places of all time because there are so many types of people and so many walks of life. Next is a still from The Time Traveler’s Wife, a movie I saw the other day. It is a great movie because you get to know the characters, but it still makes you think the whole time. Next is rain, something that I find very inspiring. It is beautiful, destructive, and cleansing all at the same time. Lastly, I found this picture and couldn’t resist throwing it in. I see this picture as a very passionate picture because you can just feel the love coming from this man for his cello.
Overall, I like things that make me think. I truly believe that everything has story behind it and I want to figure out a way to capture it on film. I like discovering hidden places and am inspired by people who are off-the-street average. I like to see the details of things rather than the really big picture, even though I think it is important too. As of right now, I haven’t completely found my personal style. I know what I like right now, and I think I am on my way to developing a true style.
