Into The Trees

Golden Woods (2012)
Branches of Life (2012)
For this photo-shoot, I was up in Sedona admiring the beauty of nature. It is amazing when the leaves on the trees change colors. I wanted to add these photos to my blog before winter. For the Branches Of Life photo, I wanted to capture abstract structure trees have. Trees in nature appear strange as their branches go in every direction. However, what makes trees even odder is the fact that every branch, even though different in appearance, essentially have the same structure. Trees are fractals, in which every one branch branches off into two more branches, and each one of those branches are branched off into two more branches. The amount of branches seems to be endless. This tree symbolizes life. Everything in nature, whether it be a plant or animal appears to be the same, but really is not. No two things in nature are exactly the same and at times, nature seems to be endless. For the Golden Woods photo, I wanted to capture the contrasts found in nature. The green leaves were starting to change to different shades of yellows, golds, oranges and reds. Also, I like how the trees are a dark brown with black. This combination of colors represents the diversity of life. Nothing is ever just black and white. Lastly, for Diverse Feelings, I wanted to capture the landscape of this area. It is fascinating not only for its diversity of colors and life, but also for its diversity in textures. Here, each tree has different types of leaves and this does well to contrast with the perfection of the blue in the sky. The mountains also added a rough feel to the photograph. This photograph represents the different emotions people go through in life. At times it can feel sooth and perfect like the blue sky, but other times it can feel rough and rocky like the mountain and the various leaves on the different trees.

More Justin Bieber Concert Photos

Blue (2012)
Since I took so many photos during the Justin Bieber Concert, I figured I would show more. These first two photos, Red and Blue, in particular focus on the set itself. I mentioned on the last post that he put on grand displays so here is a few of them. In Dance, I was trying to capture the complicatedness of his routines. I have no idea how he can remember this routies. but regardless, they look extremely awesome and are entertaining. With it All, shows a more grateful side of Justin. It is in this moment where Justin gets a good look at the crowd and gets to see all the fans there. Guitars shows him and his guitarist, Dan, just rocking out and enjoying performing music. In Clarity, once again Justin's passion is shown off. He sings with all his emotions and gives it all he can. Lastly, Gold, show some of the special effects/sets he used. This part of the show, was my favorite dance of the night. Behind this gold looking foil were dancers. Overall and once again, this show was amazing and an incredible night. His show deserves an A+.

A Night With Justin Bieber

Heart and Soul (2012)
I decided to share more of the photos I took from the Justin Bieber Believe Concert. It was a great show and a wonderful memory. Each song he performed was so well staged and themed. He had such emotion during the show, and I tried to capture as much of it as I could. For the Heart and Soul photograph I wanted to capture how delicate and versed he sang. It was on of those moments where artists can get so focused in the music and pure emotion comes out. The Coming In photograph was taken right as the show began. I thought it was cool how elaborate it was and it was a cool entrance. For the Power Of the Crowd photograph, it captures not only his talent with performing but also the impact he has on his fans. He is a great role model and he really does a lot for his fans. He could have simply put on a show, but instead he went all out and put on a grand spectacle. Everything from the dancing to the singing was spot on and magnificent.  It was truly a fun night. Lastly, with Spaceship it shows part of the set on stage. Every single song he performed had a theme. With the themes there were great lights and special effects. In this photograph, it captures the fog and cool space themed he had.
