I took this picture when I last went there(2009, I believe.) <strong>Why do I love this place?</strong><br />
I suppose the witch in me feels really connected with mother nature and I just feel so inspired to write, paint, take pictures, sing, etc. <br />
<strong>Why am I posting this?</strong><br />
So people that might possibly have the power to destroy a place like this in the future are reminded that it means something to someone, it's not JUST a bunch of rocks and trees, it is a place of magic.Emily, Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07310633302525985620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059206796701628126.post-33155703761177018692010-11-12T12:13:00.000-08:002010-11-12T12:13:04.278-08:00Adopted<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzZel7BQAyqIYVe1C_1eEvWgMTsqUJRFhteErgV_WaTTgYAKfDSH5-4Z95Em57y9YNag1UIvsawMZFZU_iA8-E3fVNRuXuYiooo5HI65JyGN_7KNu2KMj1XBrGd2dOpA2iGXtq29UWn9y/s1600/adopted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzZel7BQAyqIYVe1C_1eEvWgMTsqUJRFhteErgV_WaTTgYAKfDSH5-4Z95Em57y9YNag1UIvsawMZFZU_iA8-E3fVNRuXuYiooo5HI65JyGN_7KNu2KMj1XBrGd2dOpA2iGXtq29UWn9y/s320/adopted.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I've been into photography since I was very young. I'm always the person standing in the background with a camera. Anyways, I've recently gotten some questions on the meaning behind this photo so I thought I should explain it.<br />
At my old house, I would walk by these red and white flowers every day to get to my car. I thought they were very elegant-looking so I decided to take pictures of them one day after it had rained.<br />
The rain had mostly destroyed the red flowers but the white ones were still standing, though they were missing a few petals. I witnessed the falling of the last red petal while I was taking pictures and that gave me an idea.<br />
I took a single red petal and placed it with the white flower to create fantastic colour contrast and, having an artists mind, I immediatley took a picture and thought "Symbolism!"<br />
Though the red petal didnt naturally grow from the white flower, it looked beautiful and bold surrounded by the gentility of white. It gave it a feeling of individuality and difference without making it look outcast or unwanted.<br />
I titled the photo "Adopted" because I thought the photo represented the security of having a family during tough times, even though they may not be blood-related, of the same ethnicity, or any other differences that can occur.<br />
People can look at that picture and think "Oh, its just some flowers." or they can look into the deeper meaning behind it and see the photographers hidden world.<br />
Do you see it now?Emily, Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07310633302525985620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059206796701628126.post-3421373475721877982010-11-01T14:58:00.000-07:002010-11-01T14:58:56.779-07:00PhotohuntingThe other day, I went photohunting with my friend Elyssa Failla who is an amaaaazing photographer(and model). We drove around Auburn in the rain, trying to find picturesque locations. We came across a dried grassy field with a fallen tree and decided it was a good place so we started shooting. I wanted to experiment with portraiture more and I ended up getting some really nice pics of Elyssa. Here they are:<br />
