Dry
23 Feb
Yes, this picture is from the same pond where I took last week’s picture. But I couldn’t resist taking more pictures of it and I thought that this was a great picture for the word “dry”! It’s crazy to think of a pond as “dry,” the winter snow dried up all the reeds. I really like this because even though the reeds are in water, they’re still all dried up.
Asymmetry
15 Feb
I LOVE taking pictures in the snow. It makes everything look really different and interesting. I took a “photo expedition” walk outside in the snow and I came across the frozen-over pond. The colors in the frozen water looked super-weird and the little piles of snow around all the dried up plants really interested me. It’s funny how changes in weather can make everything look so unfamiliar…
Soft
7 Feb
“Soft is” kind of a hard word to take a photo of. I tried taking pictures of a bunch of my scarves piled up together, my stuffed animals, my bed, but none of the photos really looked soft. Then while we were taking a walk during the blizzard, I took a picture of my boyfriend walking across a snow covered field to his townhouse. The falling snow blurred everything, especially the town houses in the background, and I thought this is it– soft.
Balance
2 Feb
I visited my undergrad college this weekend in southern Maryland. They got about two feet of snow. I was basically snowed in on Saturday, so I went around campus taking pictures. St. Mary’s College is super-beautiful in general, but when it snows, it’s nothing short of gorgeous. This is a small foot bridge over a pond connecting the townhouses to Admissions Field. This picture made me think of balance because of the composition of the photo and the nature of the bridge.
