Mark Rothko Mural for End Wall

(Untitled) [Seagram Mural] 1959

These three images interested me because of their vibrance in color. They vary in complexity and chaos, but they all have this bright color that brings me and makes me want the study every inch.

If you only knew...

Ted, me and Mica before homecomming.

Ted was actually Mica's date...I went solo after being dumped by Ted's older brother a week prior to the dance.

Ted and I before Prom.

Ted and I went to prom as friends. I had no one to go with and so he said he would. He was and hour late picking me up because he was fishing with his soon to be Best Man, so we missed our limo. To add to the evening, the strap broke on my dress and I stepped on the tule that lined the underneath of my dress and ripped it out in the bathroom. Then he got lost on the way to the dance from dinner, and once we hit after prom we weren't seen together again.

Ted and I at our wedding.

Something crazy must have changed and now Ted and I are married. Happier than ever, but how we came this far still baffles me.

I enjoyed this photo for it's parallel lights. I liked he way the light interacted with the darkness of the image.

I chose this image because I am interested in the human body and how our looks consume our thoughts. Self image is a constant battle in today's society and many people focus on it, myself included, causing pain and low self esteem. I hate that. But I can't seem to escape it.

This image interested me because of it's use of simplicity in color, but emphasis in texture. I think I would like to explore that in photography...using not black and white, but limited color and further expressing the texture.

These are all random snapshots. I took all these photos on a whim, I never do that and I wanted to explore that option. I like the keyboard shot to most. I think it's because it isn't immediately recognizable. I also really enjoy the color. I liked the guitar for the angle, it's not a standard shot you see. As for the music, I just enjoy written notes because they mesmerize me; no matter how hard I try I can never read them perfectly. The complexity frustrates me, but the beauty of the music overcomes that frustration when I hear it played by someone who can play it for real.
