Hey! The assignment this week was to capture four photos that had specific qualities including: highly contrasting lights and darks, an extreme vantage point, transparencies (a reflective or transparent quality), and an anomaly. I choose to include all of the qualities in all four of my photos.

My theme was the eyes of the world though a tiny creatures eyes. I have always believed that in my writing or in self reflection I believe I am a small mouse in the grass or bug crawling on a window that observes details in daily life closely to find beauty and appreciate minute things. This is a great way to live because every day is filled with amazing senses of smell and color that can turn any tragic day into positivity. Anyways, enough with my lifestyle. Here are my four images. I took them through the microscope camera at my job at the natural history museum to get a macro view, extreme vantage point, of fruits and flowers.





I wanted these pieces to be abstract when at first you ask yourself and those around you, "what the heck could this be?". Texture was also important too because when you are small you notice if the ground a human walks on is not flat but rather is dented and has rivets. The rule of thirds also played a key part in com positioning my elements. I wanted to have some kind of order in the abstraction to attract the viewers to an vaguely, recognizable pattern.
