For me, this collection a photos has a calm feeling. They're simple and warming. I like to use space and texture in my photography. My favorite picture of this collection is the very first one of the thorn tree. I like it because it shows contrast between the harsh-looking tree and the calming warm wall.

PS Activity 10/05/11

This series of photos shows lighting, shadows, shape, and depth in numerical quantities one through five. It shows the color contrast between the bright spicy, warm-looking chilies and the white rough paper. The sun casts a nice cool shadow on them pronouncing the forms. My favorite photo out of the series is the first bell pepper because it has a very soothing color and it is in main focus. One problem I had to face with this shoot was the fact that it took place outside and on the ground so naturally a colony of ants decide to walk all over my canvas! But I ended up moving to a clearer area on the side walk and finished my shoot with better luck.
