Something I have become interested in learning more about is the story behind a picture. I started to become interested in Jerry N. Uelsmann because of the strangeness of his pictures. They were different so it made me wonder about what he might have been thinking while he was putting together an image. So far I have learned that Uelsmann heavily believes in re-visualizing an image in a way that will make him amaze himself.

I am exploring the theme of interesting shapes. I am interested in this because shapes is a general topic, that can include a lot of different types of pictures.

I took the first photograph, which as you can see is a tree with a large apple in it. I know how to use a mask now to combine two images. My interpretation of this photograph is that because apples and trees are found together often in nature, I hope the picture doesn't look overly edited, or too out of place.

It has been said that one image is worth a thousand words. This could be true about my picture because it shows that when you attempt to make something look 'natural' it has a different affect then if you were only trying to make something unique. It reflects my theme in that though it could be a natural occurrence, the circular shape of the apple clearly contrasts with the linear shape of the branch.

This an article about choices, what they are, and why we choose what we do.
