Final Project-What do YOU see?

James
"Today time is very valuable. To understand time is to live in reality. The comprehension and appreciation of each second that passes, is where I need to be. "For a life understood is a life lived." Every second that passes gives me an opportunity to start over, to change my person, or to achieve enlightenment. The clock continues to tick every moment of everyday. When will you accept its presence, and live each moment instead if through it?" -Timothy Levitch

Alan
"As a drink it is the most quenching, the most satisfying in my opinion. water is so much a part of us.as an element in itself, there is something so familiar, so sacred, and yet so mysterious. The movement of rivers and streams seem to mimic the flow of life and the constant change about. I love the calmness of a lake, the power of a wave, and how a ripple seems to carry on forever. I feel at peace when the sound of rain puddles against the earth, and small before the wide shores. I always forget how important water is, and want to respect and appreciate it as much as i can."

Nicholas
"I would say that I have an eye for art. whether it is a Van Gogh painting, an album cover or a pile of clothes littered across the floor. I see art not just in the obvious sense of paintings in a frame or sculptures in a museum but in everything in everyday life. Art in a museum tells a story, as art in a coffee shop does as well. it evokes emotion and provokes conversation. I think someones outfit they put on on a given day, a condemned or abandoned house, even the wrapper on a candy bar hold the same magic."


Dylan
"The eye is drawn to what is beautiful. What a subjective term though- beautiful. As the saying goes, it belongs to the beholder. I adore our creator, yet I have not seen Him. Surely he must be beautiful, for anyone can look at this planet and see the majestic appeal in the mountains, or the rivers, or flowers. The vast and varying landscapes baffle my mind as I witness these bodies. No man can create such structures."

 Annie
 "I love writing and reading and try my best to follow the word of God."

Sarah 
 "I see the world through a camera lense."

  1. Nicely done. The last one is my favorite. I think it's the colors of it that stands out. Neat concept. nice to see you had a direct idea behind them.

  2. I really enjoyed the quotes you included with your images. I like how what you added to them was pretty simple but it got the point across. I also like how the images are in black and white except for what you added. I think you have a great idea but I think you could have done more with it. Overall good job :)

  3. When I visited your site last night, there were three images posted. This morning, I am so happy to see a fourth. How many do you intend, altogether? Great concept so far, but I feel like you need to help us (your viewers) explore it more with you. Mpre specifically, the repetition of certain elements and the variation of others, from one image to the next, will likely be strengthened by additional images in this series. So far, though, great job!

  4. These are cool. I really like how you paired the quotes with the images, it makes it more relatable. I especially like the first image. I also like that the only color is in what you added to the photos.

  5. Excellent work Sarah. These seem like they would have worked as stand-alone portraits even. I think the elements you have added work with the photographs you've used. I like the portrait of James the best. Great work. I like your style.
