As my subject matter, I used my guitar. I incorporated my voice as a musician and my love for music for this picture. It helped me view nature as a whole differently; nature is a beautiful and doesnt get enough credit as many teenagers are on their electronics instead of looking at the world around them.
My strengths were taking the landscapes just because they were easier to focus with a camera. My weakness might have been taking close ups because most of them were blurry at first. Something I would've changed about this assignment would be having alot more patience with taking a close up picture.
Very good guitar shot. The closeness makes it abstract is a nice way. I recall a news clip of John Mellencamp with his old guitar. Much of the finish was gone where he'd rubbed it off over the years. If your guitar was much older, such a feature would give the shot a much different appearance of "humanity" because it would have shown the years of use
ReplyDeleteGotta love guitars. I have several myself. I think the bits of corrosion on the strings and the wood revealing itself through the black stain of the fretboard make for a bit of mystery. While the extreme close up is nice, I'd like to see a bit more of this area of the guitar, since it reveals so much more of the guitar's history and it's relationship to those that have played it. I like the image.
