Lines

A Look into the Trees (2011)

For these photographs I wanted to highlight lines and their appearance in everyday life. To me, I find it amazing how such complex things are made from simple shapes and lines. Everything to me has either details we too often ignore or never notice. One of the reasons why I love photography is it allows a person to capture the unthinkable. For my trees building photograph, I felt it looked like a ship's front. I also felt it was a good illusion, because it looks like it is coming towards the viewer, but at the same time, it looks like the building is really falling back into the building itself. The lines in this photography really pop out and they take on a personality of their own.

Steps to Nowhere (2011)

As for my Steps photo, I wanted to show how something as simple as a staircase can be complex. Every angle, line, shape and part of the staircase has importance. I also wanted to show how confusing things can be if they are shown only in parts. Where are these stairs going? Anywhere? These are questions that can never be answered based off of this photograph.
