Assignment 1 Image #3: Memory



Part 1: This image was originally from the set that asked me to take multiple pictures of one subject, in many different angles.  I did little beginning planning but developed ideas as I shot.  With over 70 images I created in this set, I had plenty of time to experiment and create moods by focusing on certain aspects of the subject.  Perspective plays a great part in the mood of a piece, and this perspective along with the focus creates a feeling of nostalgia.  It’s like trying to remember something but forgetting some of the most important details and seeing others in a blur.  Because the subject is a stuffed animal it enforces this feeling of past childhood days.

Part 2: The composition of this image was well received, though I was asked why I decided to crop out the head, to which I didn't exactly have a good answer.  Over all I think it was decided that the picture worked well, other than it was somewhat grainy in some areas.  I think from here it might be interesting to do a series based off of the idea of nostalgia.  Someone mentioned that it looked like a stuffed animal that was left behind or forgotten and a series on that idea might be interesting.
