Week Four

I am struggling to decide what to do for my master assignment. I am continuing to collect photos of interesting things as well as continuing with patterns, lines and all things red. The more photos I take, the better my chance of discovering an interest or correlation between pictures and uncovering a possible theme for my final assignment, so get ready for a workout camera!

Patterns!!

Little white house in North Melbourne laneway.

I really like the bold, dark branches against the cold, rainy sky. I think the slight yellow colour of the leaves is complimentary to this.

Oppshop readings.

Little Golden Books in all their glory.

These two trees (above and below) remind me of hands. I thought they were beautiful.

Number One.

I really like this picture. I like the composition and the fact that it has both white flowers and white clouds. And the sky is beautiful. 

I have adjusted the following two photos to create more contrast and brighter colours. I thought the originals looked a bit dull.

So, after studying Henri Cartier-Bresson and learning of his travels to capture the stories of people and places, I am inspired to gather pictures of Melbourne and it’s story. I appreciate Cartier-Bresson’s idea of ‘the decisive moment’, where all elements combine to create a perfect photographic moment. I will keep this thought in mind as I peruse the city streets.
