Attention to Details

Photo 9 (April 9th, 2012)

     These are two photos I took while I drove by a mall. They had a small carnival set up and I liked how elaborate the merry-go round was. When I was taking this photographs I noticed how detailed the horses were, including in photo 9, and how in certain parts there were different animals such as the zebra in photo 10. I want this photographs to stand for the message of how people sometimes take color and everyday objects for granted, and to not worry about "fitting in."Photo 9 displays how even something as simple as a ride, is more complex than it seems. Here the detail work on the fake horse is very pretty and elaborate. One may not think about how much thought was put into making this ride if they simply just passed by the horse. Photo 10 to me is a symbol of being yourself, even it may appear old or unusual. Here, this zebra in the photo is still standing tall even though it is not a horse like the others around it. While this may only be an amusement ride, I think these two photos stand for something bigger: Pay attention to your surroundings and be yourself.
