I love door frames. I love trying to experiment with frame within a frame. Also, the affinity of the wood and the patterns. This is a hallway in our hotel room. These doors are huge and open 24/7. They lead to the casino.
Photo 2:
The shapes of circles, squares, and rectangles popped out to me. All of these are mirrors in that same hallway. The affinity of the shape patterns I love. Also, again, the colors are similar with the wood and the gold tone.
Photo 3:
Affinity has just been in my mind since the lecture. These are claw machines in a large arcade off the strip. The pattern of purple and blue is an interesting affinity. I was thinking about this too as far as a business owner and I would want all customers to feel free to go to any of these machines. Since they are all similar, if one person is on one machine, someone else could go to the next one.
Photo 4:
These two high buildings are off the strip. The yellow affinity caught my eye. I love the contrast with the yellow to the blue. Also, the vertical lines of these towers send off power and high elevation. The sun was hitting the yellow side perfectly when I decided to take this picture which I was happy.
This large statue can be found in Caesar's Palace. I wanted to create the shape of a triangle of these pillars with my framing. I thought it was interesting that there isn't too much contrast in color with this picture. I took it a low angle and the statue appears bigger than the pillars. I wanted the statue to stick out so I even put her smack dab in the middle of the frame.
I love all the framing and symmetry in your first photo. The warm colors, lines and textures are so beautiful. In a weird sort of way it reminds me of the temple (the golds, rich woods, expensive looking) which almost made me feel thinking. Either way both are beautifully decorated.
ReplyDeleteThe overall theme is fun, "vegas", and photo three's psychedelic colors reminded me of the movie Tron and the book Ready Player One. There's a lot of contrast and light, but at the same time, it feels really dark and creepy.
ReplyDeletePhoto #4 is really beautiful. I got a good sense of a place that maybe wasn't even necessarily the actual physical space that you were in when you shot it. I mean that the angle and composition of the shot feel make these buildings feel like something out of a sci-fi movie more than real life. V cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Vegas, so I love what you shot of my city! Honestly, I love all of these photos, but I really like the deep space in the first photo and how the lines on the door and floor conflict with each other, suggesting chaos. I also love the contrast in the 4th photo between the yellow buildings and the blue sky.
