Perspective

1.  The first thing I notice is all of the pillars starting at the left edge of the photo and going all the way to the middle of the right half in a receding fashion.  Eventually the photo gets fuzzy at the end of the pillars.  The trees on the left block out a bit of the pillars.  Fading. Full on the left yet mostly empty on the right. Black and white photo.

2.  What I see in front of me is a scene from a college campus. There is a bunch of pillars on the left side receding in a one point perspective fashion towards the middle right part of the photo.  Each pillar has a light on it and has a pointed top.  There is also a tree or two on the left side behind the line of pillars and they hang over the pillars a little bit.  At the very back of the picture on the right half is a building that goes all the way from the ground to off the top of the photo.  The sidewalk to the right of the pillars consists of rows of cement squares and bricks laid between the lines of cement squares.  Beneath the trees on the left is a patch of grass.

3. The color of this photo is in black and white. The lack of color variation in this picture is made up by the different values.  The line quality of this picture is very good for a perspective picture and the quality get a bit worse the farther back you go. The composition of this photo is very good. It follows the rule of thirds in the way that the focal point is at the end of the pillar line and it crosses the top right imaginary line created by the rule of thirds. The placement in space of this picture is good since it creates an asymmetrical balance because of the mass of dark on the left and the mass of light on the right.

4.  This photo does tell a story.  It tells the story of many childhood incidents involving a lost ball.  Many kids have hit or kicked a ball into a neighbors lawn over their fence and just stop dead in their tracks.  Should they even attempt to go retrieve their ball or just forget about it and go inside?  The pillars going from the left to the right in this photo represent the fence between neighbors lawns.  One the left is the neighbors side where it is dark and on the right is the light comfort zone of many children; their lawn. You don't want to go to the neighbors lawn because it is so dark and dreary yet you can see your ball just sitting their in the neighbor's lawn. In one words this photo would be named - Borders

5.  This photo connects to the works of Edward Ruscha rather well. Ruscha is fond of using perspective in his pieces and my photo shows perspective rather well with the pillars receding to the back of the photo.  He also uses very few values in his works.  My photo has only a few values of black and white and it connects in that way.  My photo is of a building and features around the building and Ruscha doesn't have many abstract or non-objective piece so it also connects in that way.
