This week I've been working on new diptychs and trying to decide which photos I will be using in my final concentration. I have quite lot of photos of rusted metal and I think I will spend next week collecting more photos of decaying nature to use so it will even everything out.
I have decided to do a concentration comparing decay in both man made and natural objects. Macro, texture, color, point of view, and contrast are all important principles of design in my photography to help express my overall theme of decay. The objects in my photography will be personally connected to me because I've grown up around both types of environment. My father is kind of a collector of rusted objects and I've always lived in areas surrounded by forest. I can't wait to get started.

Week 3.5
It's the end of our third week and so far I've taken photos of both natural and man made decaying objects and happen to get some really nice shots. I chose these photos because they were high quality and fit my theme well. I've noticed that I'm working more with texture and I think I'm going to lean towards that in my final concentration. I've also created a couple diptychs and I think I'm going to create a few more for my final and maybe redue the ones I have now. When I redue them I'll add a black border because it'll make the diptychs look more professional. I think for the next few weeks I will be working more with editing then with taking photos.

Week 3
I went outside while it was nice today and took several photos of both man made and natural decaying objects. I'm quite please with several of them, the lighting was lovely today. I'm hoping to have more days like this, this week.

Week 2
This week I worked on taking more photos of rusted and decaying objects. These objects turned out a little differently then last weeks because I was taking the photos on a sunnier day giving a red hue over almost everything. Comparing both this week and last weeks photos there is a high contrast of warm and cool colors and I'm kind of liking it. I've also decided to redue my theme. I think Im going to create a series of man vs nature dipdychs comparing decaying objects. My personal connection is that I will have grown up around both of these enviroments. I believe it should turn out intersting. This weekend I plan to get more shots of decaying nature and create the actual diptychs next week. We'll see how it goes.
