snapping daily skip to main skip to sidebar snapping daily a challenge to myself take at least one new photograph every day and share it here the end for now 4 comments self portrait again 11 22 09 26 labels color self portrait 0 comments a body of water fall 2007 11 a shot from my year in rhode island this roll of film got exposed during developing which explains the murky effect i think it actually works here labels black and white 3 comments something metallic 11 17 09 5 labels color still life 0 comments 9 and a new name 11 11 09 9 i m going to have to change the name of this blog coming up with a new photo daily has been a challenge and i think i ve learned some valuable lessons from it however i think my daily posts are coming to a close i m thinking about transitioning to a weekly post consisting of a cohesive series of photographs for example one week i might work on self portraits and another week i might shoot some still life in the studio once i finish the scavenger hunt that will be the plan labels color 2 comments lights at night 11 09 09 21 i always feel most creative when the sun goes down i usually get the urge to start a new painting write in my journal or rearrange my room after dark i don t know why it never clicked with me earlier to employ the moon as my photography muse as well i have discovered that there is something magical about night photography it requires patience and experimentation its about letting the camera show you something you can t see its quiet solitary and free this is definitely a great realization that this blog has led me labels color street photography 3 comments 1 24 fall 2008 1 24 fall 2008 1 24 this is one from my archives i took this photo with my spartus full vue hence the square format i was on a whole tangent of shooting straight up into the sky for a couple semesters here is the artist statement from this project as an artist i strive to create art that is simple and easily understood i find myself and the world around me to be extremely complex i ponder them all the time i try to make sense of something that i will never fully understand and become frustrated i am a very emotional person and my feelings almost always take over in a way i cannot control and i again become frustrated the most appealing art for me is art that can be summed up in one sentence or thought the art i create can usually be described by this is beautiful because the elements and principles of art are working cohesively the emotions i most express in my artwork are peace and simplicity it is an escape from my usual experience of chaos and difficulty for this project i took my usual formal approach to photography and gave it the constraint that i would be pointing my lens straight up the unique viewfinder of my spartus full vue led me to shooting in this manner holding the viewfinder like a regular camera out in front of me pointed the lens into the sky exposing me to a new perspective for this project i was in search of interesting compositions using the elements and principles of art as my guide i hope that when person views these photographs that he or she simply sees shapes lines pattern etc and how they come together to create something visually interesting perhaps the viewer takes them a step further and gains an appreciation for the point of view expressed by pointing the camera straight up these photographs are meant to be taken at face value and what you see is what you get links elements of art principles of art labels architecture black and white 0 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me dana view my complete profile blog archive december 1 november 9 october 18 labels architecture black and white close up color roof self portrait still life street photography
