My Inspiration

While on the field trip to the art galleries I found many different pieces of artwork and photos, within the galleries, very inspiring.  Here are the ones that influenced me the most.

 I love how in this piece of artwork the photographer took images within one place although then assembled the separate images all together to create what the original room looked like.  I love the creativity and design of this piece.
 In this piece I love how you can look at one image and see and feel one thing but then when you look at both of them it just creates a whole new image and meaning, that is very powerful.  
 In this image I love how the bodies look like they are just laying there from far away, although if you look closer each fourth of the bodies is a different part of someone else's body.  The illusion that is given within this piece is amazing.
 I just love this image because it's fun and a different way to photograph someone on the beach.
 I love the angle of this picture and how serene and peaceful the subject in the picture looks.  I also love how much the eyelashes just jump out/stand out at you.
This is just so simple and yet you could look at it for a while and continue to find it intriguing. I aspire to create this effect of simplicity and curiosity within my images.

What is my natural vision?

When I look at my photography work I don't usually compare the photos to eachother by what's in them, how they are printed, or if they have anything unifying all of them.  After reading the "What is Your Natural Vision?" article I laid out all of my photos that I have taken and printed to try and figure out what my natural vision might be. At first I didn't notice any one thing, I simply noticed several different themes throughout my work but not every single piece or the majority of them.  I'm good at photography inanimate objects and portraits except when it comes to landscapes I'm not good at capturing a strong, powerful image of the entire scene. After looking at my images for a while, I finally came to the conclusion that I haven't really found my full "natural vision," although I noticed that in many of my images I try to capture something that somebody else might not see while looking at the same object, location, or situation.  This image describes what I feel my natural vision is currently.  The picture shown represents how I was trying to capture the beauty in the simple light fixture that others might not even notice or pay attention to while walking by it.
