1.) La Promesa (The Promise). Cancun/Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Jason deCaires. Out of all the photographers he was by far my favorite. I think that his work is so cool because of the idea and how it is under water. I think that this image is so powerful and it reminds me of the phrase; you have your head in a hold. I'm not sure if this is the idea that we was going for but that is how I portrayed it.

2.) Sandy Skoglund, //Radioactive Cats//, 1980 I really liked this photo because it is very out there and different. I like how the title is Radioactive cats because it makes the picture have that much more meaning to it. I portray this photo as the artist telling us that she thinks technology is taking over. In the picture there is no electricity, just these cats. I think her idea is cool because of how she sets up her pictures.

3.) The Wall. Andy Goldsworthy. This is a good picture because I love the leading lines. I could use some of his ideas with setting up a picture in nature. I think that this could work because of all the woods around this area. I think that I will be trying this technique to see what types of pictures I can get. I was going to go out in the woods and take a bunch of pictures with the woods. I think that this could look pretty cool and represent the environment which is something that i am very powerful about.

Quote: "Just try to get up, you've got to slowly brush off, I know that words aren't enough but, you're better than this." -May Day Parade- I want to design a set with a bunch of words in the background and then a picture of people in front. I want to build a site kind of how sandy skoglund did her pictures. This is my life quote that I live by. I have had a hard time in the past years and i want to do a project that means a lot to me. This will evoke hope and hopefully try to show that things will get better in time. Someone who looks at this photo may think that its twisted because i want it to be a picture you have to think about, something that is not the usual. I really want to try sandy Skoglund works by creating a set and shooting the picture from that. La p- T
