Melting

The Metaphor; The Equivalent

[[Assignment 3]]

 

This week's assignment asked us to approach photography with the intention of forming metaphors. The idea is that photographs can have a meaning beyond what is represented in an image; in other words, they should provoke some sort of feeling. Prof recommended we look for "moody" lighting -- bright light with long, deep shadows; misty or foggy days; the dramatic lighting at sunrise or sunset.

 

Here are the 4 photographs I submitted. I really felt like I was stabbing around in the dark, so I just did my best.

 

I saw this early in the assignment week as I was walking down Main Street. Notice the brown paper bag head. Prof liked: yellow of blockade, shadows with the melting streaks... he really didn't give mine much time this week, because I was last.
