1. The first photo is a cityscape. The mood I feel from this photo is wonder of the unknown. The artist of the photo goes by exothermic on flickr and expresses how much she loves the mysterious humungous structure and how something still beautiful but looks so old and is right next to another art work in the background the korean war veterans memorial bridge. the techniques she uses are rule of thirds not having a center point and point of view from taking the photo under the structure and then leading lines with the structure going over the bridge because of the point of view causing your eyes to also go to the bridge.

2. The second photo is a interior-scape. The mood that comes off this piece is mystery of the past. The artist is Al Mullen and he was fascinated by all of the abandoned buildings in the area he lives in and decided to do a photoshoot of them. He uses the rule of thirds by not having a center piece and rather taking a photo of the two areas of the house that in my opinion had the most happen in the house.

3. The third photo is a landscape. The mood this photo gives off is peace on earth. The photo is by Graham Miller the woman in the photo is his wife and him on a road trip in the american west they had just woken up at 5 a.m. to watch the sunrise over the mittens he believes there is a sense of loss over the horizon and his wife is turned around to sort of show that she is realizing that you can never truly see the world. He uses framing having his wife sit in the middle of the piece and focal point with her face being the main thing of the piece.


 * The printing technique I hope to use is the see through fabric to show that memories you have tend to sort of fade away over the years. My concept is to take photos of places that use to be really special to me at some point in my life and even though they are important places in my heart I can't remember exactly everything that happened there or it starts to lose the sentimental value over the years like its fading away which is also why I would like to use the se through fabric to represent it fading away. The mood is moving on from happiness and the lighting I plan on using is natural daylight wether its sunrise or sunset or in the middle of the day.**
