The image, The Gold Hall, captured by Tom Kirsch is of an interiorscape abandoned hotel hallway. When scattering through the photos on his site, this one stood out to me due to the vibrant, vintage colours of the wallpaper. To me, the image feels comforting because of those colours represented and the warm available light flowing from the hotel rooms. Compositional techniques present are leading lines, and fill the frame. Tulip Fields Forever, by Wilhelm Tobien, is a landscape. The worn colouring and faded appearance made this photo very erky. From the suspicious girl standing by the creek, the unsettling man in the black trench coat watching from afar, and the woman dangling her feet over blackwater, nothing about this image is comforting -- with an exception of the tulips. Rule of thirds, and level the horizon are exhibited in this piece. In this cityscape, Istiklal by PortraitOfaLife, there is a setting that swarms the photograph. By putting the photo in grayscale, and emphasising the trolley, the photo feels vintage; and with the snowfall a feel of holiday cheer permeates this photo. Compositional techniques being applied are rule of thirds, level the horizon, and fill the frame.

Glass is meant to be seen out of, but when you print on it you cannot see out of it. I plan to print it pretty large because then you can see everything. Also glass is very fragile so it demonstrates that alike, places are too. My concept is that every place has it’s story, and it’s past. I anticipate to capture this through an old barn near my house, but any place can do as long as I can obtain that idea.
