We are surrounded by other people; it is unavoidable. The imprints of our species are all over the world, for better or for worse. I liked this shot because so many stories could be told from each of these cars and shops. I wanted to capture the endless possibilities. I feel like the sky helped me capture that. However, the photo is not completely level, and I feel like there could have been deeper space.
Water is such a pure substance. Or at least it can be. The water here looks to be a little murky and green. Sometimes we have to look at a reflection to find something beautiful. Reflection is so thought-provoking, and I feel like so many stories could be derived from it. I think I mostly achieved what I wanted with this photo. I do not really like the buildings in the reflection; I wanted this to be more natural.
This is perhaps my favorite of the three. To me, this photo represents the end of summer. Leaves are starting to drop. The end of summer usually represents death, but I only feel more alive as Halloween approaches and the air becomes crisp. So even though the trees are dying, the grass is still green! I think this photo could have more color, or even lack more color. If the grass was the only color that really stood out amongst the death it could have been more powerful.
I really like what you said about the first photo: there is a story behind each car, its driver, etc. That's a cool thought that could be explored more. :) I also love reflections! They make me think of a world above and below us, be it space and the ocean, heaven and hell, or whatever. And the end of summer is my favorite time of year: Autumn. It represents so many memories in my life. My birthday, meeting my wife, getting engaged (which was 2 years ago today!), and my sons birthday (which is coincidentally on the same day as my own). All the colors, smells, etc. of Autumn remind me of these memories and people. Thanks for sharing these!
