Assignment 3.1: Selective Focus

3.1 Selective Focus

Assignment 1

I chose this image of Target Field for a number of reasons. The first reason being I am a huge sports fan and homer of all Minnesota professional sports. I also was drawn to the shadows captured in the outfield during this photo, adding a sense of uniqueness to the picture. Lastly, I believe Minneapolis-St. Paul is a beautiful city and this photo does a wonderful job of capturing that in the backdrop.

Assignment #1

I took this photo when I went to the keys a few months ago. It's one of my favorite photographs because of the color of the sky against the water and the subtle crest of the waves falling into the sand. It was a very tranquil scene for me and when I look at this, I recall the scent of the ocean

Assignment 1: Saint Paul

I took this photo of the Saint Paul Cathedral. It is one of my favorites because the lighting makes the building seem awake and warm; welcoming to anyone who might stumble upon it. 

Assignment #1

I like this picture, because it is tied to a specific memory for me. It was taken in late fall when the season was changing. Lots of things were changing in my own life as well. I believe I will always have a strong connection to this photo.

Assignment #1

 I really enjoy this photograph by Elliot Porter because it reminds me of my favorite panting, Almond Blossom, by Vincent van Gogh. The contrast of the blues and green with the pink of the blossoming plant really introduces simple beauty and a calming feel over the whole picture.
