The first image I thought was really creative because of the illusion that the native american man is standing on the earth because a lot of places in the world were first founded by the native american tribes. So in a way he was on top of the world because for some time they had the power and all the land they wanted. I also find that the galaxy in the background is very bright and it looks like the image was actually taken in space with the man there. for the second picture I really like the childish creative twist because of the myth of the thought of neverland. What kid wouldn't want to go to a place with no rules and you never have to grow old, have a job and have no worries. The third image is a man walking on water and the man in the boat are looking down in the water trying to figure out how he is doing it i think this is really creative because the men inn the boat look all business like and don't believe anything like that is possible but the ordinary man is proving them wrong.

CONCEPT: What is your idea for mythology and/or metaphor, how will you interpret the idea of a visual metaphor and a myth? My idea is either going to be kind of like the image I have above, the Neverland one because I really like that myth because personally I would love to leave this world and go to another place that I don't have to deal with all the chaos and people and be somewhere where I never have to get old and I wouldn't have any worries. Or another idea I have is the myth of warewolfs because un myths they howl at the moon I want to make the wolfs face almost transparent and put it on the face of the moon. SUBJECT: What sorts of images will you need to shoot to create your idea? What will it involve? places, people, costumes, sets, nature, lighting? I would like to have a wolf, but since I can't get a image of a wolf I am able to take a picture of a husky because I know someone who has huskies. Then with my dads telescope get a image of the moon and put the wolfs (husky) face on the moon. For my other idea I want to take a series of images of someone looking like they are flying and make it just their silhouette and put it on the face of the moon so it looks like they are flying past the moon to Neverland.

REASONING: Why do you wish to do this idea? What will you learn from it? How is it interesting to you? They are both interesting, the first one because of the thought of another world that you never have to grow up. For wolf one I like the idea of replacing the warewolf with a wolf (Husky) to make it modernized because warewolfs to me are just really big wolfs so they look the same and that even though they are wild and dangerous, they are really beautiful animals. FACTS: What is the myth/metaphor that you are basing your idea on? Explain it's history and any other pertinent facts regarding the myth/metaphor that will help us understand your idea. first one is Neverland and the second is warewolfs
