==The first photo on the left is a quaint, calming yet slightly unsettling black and white photograph of a cityscape. It was taken of the Radio City Music Hall, a famous entertainment venue in New York City that one would assume would be bursting with life and energy. The picture uses black and white coloring, leading lines, filling the frame, a level horizon, and the absence of activity to showcase the stillness and calm that can settle over formerly crowded space. The building itself it old-fashioned and beautiful, and the photographer Paul Politis (a self-taught photographer from Montreal, Quebec) does a wonderful job portraying that. The photo is called, "Radio City Music Hall, Night (#5)" and was shot September 22, 2011. [] ==

The middle photo is an interior-scape shot by the same person as the Radio City Music Hall photo, Paul Politis. The mood it portrays is restless, broken, and angry as the photo is taken of a pile of broken, splintered boards lying at the bottom of a staircase. The picture is intriguing because it is shot from the top of the stairs looking down, so the vantage point is unique to the photo. Leading lines throughout the pieces of wood, the stairs, and the floorboards, filling the frame, and rule of thirds are utilized by Paul Politis to illistrate the chaos of the picture. The horizon is slightly tilted, which also adds to the effect of the disorderly mess. There are no people in the house and the picture is in black and white, therefore it seems empty and desolate while still coming across as disorganized because of the way that things are strewn over the floor. The photo is titled, "Vertigo" and was shot on May 15, 2006. [|http://www.paulpolitis.com/bwgallery/abandoned-places-photography/photograph.asp?photo=44#technical-information]

The third photograph is a landscape picture of an abandoned tugboat shot by Brent Pearson. The mood is evokes is that of playfulness, wonder, and awe because it is extremely cool to see such an old, rusting ship covered in tangling vines in the water surrounding a beautiful, new city in the background. The lovely sunset adds depth and magic to this mystical picture, while helping to accentuate the settled, mirror-like water. There are very few ripples brushing against the damp sand of the shore, and the level horizon, rule of thirds, and leading lines of the picture portray a beautiful scenic piece of nature that was captured by the photographer. Brent Pearson (a photographer who posts his pihotos on flickr) titled the picture, "Homebush Shipwreck 2" and took the picture on May 23, 2007. []

=My Concept= For this piece I will be transferring onto wood. I picked this because my concept is new like new places new things. About 3 years ago I moved to Wisconsin and that was new to me because I have never moved before. So I will be using pictures from Pewaukee lake because Pewaukee was the 1st new city that I have lived in. I have also taken picture of my house because that is new to me too. I will be focusing on Landscape. My finally product will be a little smaller than a piece of paper and Like I said before I will be putting it onto a piece of wood media type="youtube" key="qRDU1kAq7Is" width="560" height="315" media type="youtube" key="fz3iUg7tG8Y" width="560" height="315"
