photo illustration

The photo below shows an interpritation of the five sec. rule. This rule is well known among people but the photographer put a twist on it by showing you the ground and what has been on it and what you may be eating. By putting the shoe in the backroung it shows that you are basicly eating what ever is on the bottom of that shoe. The clock just further clarifys the essence of the photo.

The below image symbolizes how we should put aside our differences in time of war and bring peace through putting a side our weapons and looking at what really matters. I like the photo because it shows that the gun is rusted this means that you must have been using the weapon for a long time and that shows that this is not the first war we have been in. However the twisted barrel shows that we should learn from our past mistakes and create something new and beautiful from them "the flower"

The image above is a photo that is entitled "In Your Dreams" it shows a simple beach and a man. This symbolizes that you don't need to have luxeries to be in a beautiful paradise. I personally love it because it looks like an oil pastel painting. If this photo was straight foward and not manipulated to look like a painting it would have lost the dream like aspect of the photo.

Photo Illustrations

My favorite photo illustration was the one of he child abuse of the two young school childeren. When I first saw it I thought it reated to the story but didn't have a lot of meaning behind it. However as I read the description I thought of what the burnt edges really ment and why the paper figures where hollow. It made alot of scence, you truly have an attention for detail to think of something like this while maintaining the innocence of the victim.

My favorite photo is number 2. In this photo it shows the surrounding. Howere it also includes a pattern made by the repitition of the columns. The columns in the picture also frame the skyline of Austin and highlight the beautiful surroundings around The Long Center.
