I'm beginning to lose hope in the work I produce. The potential I have is not being met with the actions I partake in. I'm struggling with grappling hope and faith. They both seem so close, yet so far away. Having the model reach for something with a lost look portrays my feelings of hopelessness. The light is supposed to represent Hope while the cloth she is entangled in represents the problems.Tuesday, January 25, 2011

1.) Infinite.
This picture is the first of my new series. I composed this picture derived from my feeling of frustration with how life is never constant. It's an infinite cycle of happiness and sadness. By having the model more outstretched (as displayed in the right picture) that displays happiness, and by having her more secluded (as displayed in the left picture) displays sadness. Life is structured on happiness and sadness, and without one, you cannot have the other. Same concept as without one of the circles that make up the infinity sign, it is no longer infinite.

Enlightned.
I've had a bit of a change of heart, with the word bit meaning the exact opposite. For the past few months I've been struggling to create and compose photos for my theme. Previously, I had thought the source of my problem was due to my inspiration well and it's lack of anything in it. I was frustrated and with the deadlines coming faster than I could possibly execute, I became flustered.
Over winter break I had a lot of time to myself. Time, in which, I didn't have during school. I began thinking why it was that I was having such complications creating ideas for my photos that went along with my theme. Then, it hit me.
I was having such trouble because I was working with something that held no significant meaning to me. I was struggling so much because I was working with things I knew nothing about. Sort of like trying to build a house when you don't have a blueprint. Sure, you may succeed, but it won't turn out close to how you envisioned.
New Theme: Internal Struggles
This theme will focus on the struggles I've faced in life. It'll make more sense once I post my pictures.
