Karaffa-metaphor



The first Image is one by Maggie Taylor. This picture inspired me by it's simplicity and creativity. I love the old fashioned look that most of her pictures have to them. What makes this photo interesting is that you can't exactly tell the metaphor, or what she's trying to say. The second photo is by John Paul Caponigro. I really liked the feel to this image. It seems like there is more than just a body of water going on here. It feels like something important and majestic and happening, just by the use of effects and colors. It's inspiring how he can take a simple image and make it something much more. The third image is by Rene Magritte. I liked this image because there is a lot of mystery going on. It makes me wonder why the couple has bags over their heads. What's behind/underneath the bags? I think a strong photo is one that leaves you with questions, and that's exactly what this image does to me.

I chose to use some lyrics from the song In The End by Linkin Park. The line i chose was 'The clock ticks life away'. I want to use these lyrics because it could be a pretty easy metaphor to depict, but there are so many ways you could depict it, and I wanted to do something creative with it. I also chose this because I like the lyric in general. It's so true that your life just flies by in the blink of an eye, and before you know it, your life is half way over. Sometimes you just wonder where did all the time go. This song was written by WELLS, ROBERT / MARSTON, MATTHEW / JAMES, IAIN / LINDSAY, YOLANDA. I believe these lyrics evoke an interesting metaphor. When I think of it, in my head I see a clock with with two halves of 2 different faces on it. The faces are transparent, and on the first 6 hours of the clock, it's a young persons face, and on the last 6 hours, i it's an old persons face. This would show the early times in life, and as the clock ticks, there life gets shorter and they get older. Someone else may have a totally different interpretation of this. I don't know what theirs would be, but that is mine. This quote and research will influence my project by getting as creative as possible, and knowing that I can pretty much go as far as my imagination takes me.
