Day 40: If purity was a need instead of a want

When people like us are born we are white meaning pure and innocence. In the photo this is represented by the white finger. But as we get older that purity goes away and we become “muddied”,and are now represented by the shadows. The contrast between the two colors really makes it seem like in this world you are either pure or you're not.

This photo also demonstrates depth of field because i placed the thumb over other crumbs and also placed this thumb in front of other half thumbs. By showing depth of field I made the photo 3D and make it seem as if its pooping up at you.

To me this photo is a type of hypocrite. meaning that humans are represented by this white color but in that we are pure and innocent but in real life that is not true.

This photo really helped me understand the process of trial and error when working with photography. when i first imagined this photo i thought of having more than one finger all different shapes and sizes, but after taking the photo i realized that that was too much to swallow and didn't have a point behind it. So i crushed other fingers and was left with one.
