For this photo, I lined up two sidewalks so the side walk would be clear, while the trees and sky faded into each other. One path had trees on the left, while the other had trees on the left. This created faded trees all around with clear trees in the middle, as well as "phantom shadows" on the sidewalk.
People think of fire as destructive, while seeing flowering plants as a sign of life. I liked the contrast in these two ideas with the diversity in color they presented when put together. It is easy to see both the flowers and the flames, but at the same time it is impossible not to notice the other.
Another contrast I liked was the ground and the sky. The shoe is low on pavement, while the light is in the sky and unaccessible. The foot seemed almost like a beam of light to me, which is why I placed it under the bulb.
This is my favorite picture of this set. It looks like these two are walking away rom a swing on a path. To me it suggests growing up and taking the path of life away from the playthings of childhood, but while keeping the same people around as you grow up together.
The white underbelly of the whale allowed me to make the whale behind visible through the other. I lined up their flukes to create a similarity that can be a focal point.
