Assignment 2 Rhyming




This is my rhyming assignment, and I really like the fan photo. I really like the composition and shape for it. It's a beautiful shape and the colors are all different. I love how the center of the fans isn't exactly in the center of the photo. It's more unpredictable that way. My 2nd favorite is probably the lamp one. I took it at night and the light shown on my bedroom wall. It was very pretty. It's something very simple but it's weird because I've never noticed it before. The simplicity of it really caught my eye. I also love how it's a warm dark color. It makes me feel very cozy and warm. The next favorite is the railing one. I love the leading line that goes from bottom to hot. I never noticed it before when I passed it a lot everyday, but somehow I just saw it. I love how it's sharp and straight. It goes all the way up and it just leads your eye to the top, but it doesn't take it off the photo. It kind of circles your eye around to the painting and back down the stairs. It's a circle. The rose is very pretty. I've always wanted to take a color picture of it so I finally did it. The background was hard to recover though because the highlights were so bad. I really like the color of it and how the background matches the rose, very classical.

This is a photo by Ansel Adams and I love the shadows on the sand of the desert. It's beautiful. It's so unrealistic because of how beautiful it is. I love the dramatic fade of color from black darkness all the way to lighter. It's beautiful. I love the shape of the sand and it's so simple, but the shape of it completely changes the photo. It's so much more interesting because of the curves of the sand.

I really like this photo by Dong Hong Oai. I love the sand blowing up. It's like an art of itself and I love the color. It really stands out against the rest of the background. I also really like the position of the person how the balance is slanted. I love how the color of the two baskets and of her pants stand out against the white blowing sand. It's a gorgeous photo. It seems very dreamlike because of the misty quality of the sand.

This is an image by Louis Daguerre and I think it's beautiful. The light coming in from the window is so beautiful and it just enhances the entire feel of the building. It's the perfect lighting, not too much and not too little. I also like the glowy feel of the entire place even though it's a little gloomy. I love the details of the ceiling and the pillars. The art and the carvings are so beautiful. I also like how the people are in it also because it makes it look less like just a tourist photo. It makes it look like a real image. That little detail adds color to the image because the building itself is very plain colored and the clothing is red and white and black rather than gray and brown and dark red.


I really like this image by Paul Strand because it's so simple with just a couple of good details. I like the blackness of the trees because it sticks out against the brown of the lake? The mist at the back also adds to the picture. It's a cool detail and it just makes the trees pop more because everything else around it is brown. I also really like the shadows cast in front of the trees because it makes the photo more mysteriousness and gloomy. I really like the color of the sky how it fades from brown to gray. It's very beautiful like that kind of misty beautiful with that mystery in it.

This is an image by Yang Yan Kang and I think it's awesome because of the mist and the swirls on the ground. I also like how ancient and long ago this cart in the middle looks. It looks like I was brought into a long ago world. The misty mountains makes a sort of mysterious feel. It's kind of scary and how the lady is dressed in black adds to the mystery and cool senses.
