On May 19th the photography class and I travelled to midtown New York City. We strolled our way up to the New York Public Library and split up into different groups and went on our merry ways. My group of Joe, Noah, Rohan, Alfahtee, and Elijah made our way to the middle of Times Square staring and capturing the overwhelming structures and lights. We then headed to Chipotle for lunch and afterwards to tasti-D-lite for dessert. I photographed mostly portraits and included some abstracts and fragments.
I chose two pictures one of a hand of a statue which I believe shows emotion. This image is abstract and a fragment which strays away from last week's project of street photography. The hand stands out and conveys a feeling of emptiness and fulfillment. My second photo really stands out to me because this street photograph shows the chaotic background of Times Square and then the calm and peaceful focus on the father and son. This is definitely a decisive moment photo because one second later his head is turned the other way and the father and son intimate moment is lost.
The final trip I hope to be more daring and take more picture of people. I felt proud and confident of my pictures and my ability in taking photographs. I'm extremely proud of my exhibit photos and the meaning behind all these images. I'm glad I took this course because now I'm confident with my skills that I now possess and display them to the world.
