Increasingly popular Chinese imports - cheap, poor quality, awful to ride, but they look good locked to a pole!
Lock & key, well it's not a key in the heart, but it didn't look good when I first took it. So this is my end result. :)
On February 16th we made a brief stop at Lock 14 on the Mississippi River near Davenport on our way home from our daughter's house in Iowa. I had made the trip and spent 6 hours at this location a couple of weeks earlier photographing the eagles. Since we were driving right by we wanted to stop and see if there were still any eagles there. It was a little after 4:00 so not much good light left - but there were still a dozen or more eagles around. They were pretty much settling in for the evening it seemed - but I was able to get a few shots before the light wasn't any good. Fun place!
Compositional Techniques: Which two techniques did you use in this photo?
The two techniques I used were Filling the Frame and Symmetry.
Sustained Investigation: What is your sustained investigation statement?
My sustained investigation statement is 'The detrimental effects of determinism in our world'.
Materials: What materials were used?
The materials I used were an ice cream that was melting, the background is the concrete of the ground to my apartment, and my camera, a Canon EOS M50.
Idea: Share the concept or story behind this photo. How did you interpret the Sustained Investigation?
The concept behind this photo is that by letting something, in this case, an ice cream, melt, its solid form will never come back because someone had let it fall onto the ground and melt without throwing it away. It interprets the sustained investigation by saying that humanity's prior actions (determinism) on a negative side, will never be able to be replenished.
Process: What process was used? How did you take this photo? How do the materials relate to the idea?
The process used was that I took an ice cream I had in my refrigerator and then placed it in a container of hot water, in order to speed up the process of it melting, and then I went outside and placed the ice cream on the concrete and I emptied out the plastic bag of the ice cream (the liquid) onto the ice cream to create the puddle. The materials relate to the idea because I made the ice cream melt and the liquid surrounding it can never become solid, or in other words, actions of humanity can never be taken back.
