Bequest-Metaphor



This first picture is by Matt Cauthron. I find this to be really inspiring because I feel like the photographer is trying to portray someone making their own path of life. Every step they take is a building block of their life story. Also, the boy is walking through deep grass which shows him going through hard times in life, and even though it may be a struggle, you have to keep on moving.

This second picture is by Rosie Hardy. I like this a lot because of how calming and imaginary it looks. The little girl is painting her own rainbow in the sky which I think is so awesome because it's like giving yourself exactly what you want in life. If she wants to see a beautiful rainbow, she will make one herself. Overall for today, we can look at that to be sort of an inspiration.

This last picture is by Sandy Skoglund. I think that it is a pretty crazy, wild, out there type of picture that is so cool. When I sit outside and see a squirrel running around, it usually feels like there is a million of them going to attack you because they are so annoying. This picture definitely portrays the feeling you get when you see a squirrel running around by you outside.

I am going to use the lyrics "The days we are given are gifts from above" by: Superchick. I chose this because I absolutely love this song, and I find the truth behind what the lyrics mean. I think that this song evokes a visual metaphor of the gift of life coming from greater powers above us and that every day should be treasured because it is one of a kind. Someone else might portray this song to mean that gifts are given to you every day whether you notice it or not. After researching and looking at my quote, I think for my project I want to have like a bright beautiful picture of the sky, sun and clouds with a spirit floating up in the sky coming down.
