Empty bench


I love how this painting is very sharp at the top but as you look at the picture the image gets blurred and more out of focus the closer to the bottom you get. I like the intensity of the colors. The angle of the bench is really cool too! I would have to say mu favorite part of this picture is the reflection on the trees and the glow of the lights on the walkway.

First picture




I believe this was the first picture I took and developed by hand, with my manual camera. I like how I only have part of the sewing machine in the frame. I found the machine in a thrift store. I wish this picture was in color thought! I think it would be really cool to see the vibrant teal that the machine was. I like to ask people what they think it is when they see this picture. I have gotten some interesting answers.

Darkroom


I took this picture with a 35 millimeter manual camera and developed it in the darkroom myself. This is one of my photographs that I managed to keep very simple. It is one of my favorite pictures of mine. I didn't even set up this shot. It was a picture that was taken on accident. I really like the angle on the cat and I like the detail of its markings. I also think that the line breaking the concrete underneath the cat adds something to the picture. It isn't just a cat on a plain background.

What I am

I saw this picture the other day and It really caught my eye. I don't usually care for conceptual art that much. I really liked this piece though because of how simple it is. I think it makes a big statement through its simplicity. I like this because the artist finds his work as a piece of art when others don't see the art in it at all. I would like to personally focus more on the simplicity of my art. I tend to get carried away with backgrounds and other distractions from the main focus of my work.
