Miksang Project
This photo was taken at the Oakville Go Station, I go through this place all the time to go to my condo after school. I always noticed these pipes everytime when I went down the stairs, and I wanted to take a picture of this everytime I saw it. I was curious how it would come out because the lighting is perfect and the lines are acturally very interesting. But I used selective focus not leading lines because I liked the details on the pipes like the letters, screws, and strings.
This photo was taken on the couch, I was watching a tv show and then I saw my room through the slighty opened door. Then something went through my mind, "Miksang Project." So I picked up the camera and clicked the shutter right away and this photo came out. I tried framing for this picture to make my yellow wall sand the wasabi to stand out.
This is my room, and yes behind that door it is my bathroom. I took this picture before sleeping, I was about to sleep and I turned of the lights in my room then I saw a little stream of light coming from the bathroom. I used the leading lines in this picture and I think this is the most mysterious picture of my bathroom.
This photo is not photoshoped this is actually the original photo itself. This is the parking lot infront of my condo. There are lots of photos that people using the side mirror of the car as a frame of the photo. But I don't think no one actually blurred the edges of the mirror and take focus this much on the object. This photo has a bit of selective focus, framing, and symmetrical balance all at once.
For these pictures I wasn't looking for simple objects, I was actually looking for just normal every day life objects. I usually like taking pictures that are simple, but for this project I tried looking for messy or dirty things in our eyes but that can be beautiful as a photograph. Well that only worked on the first picture; the pipe one. (I guess the pipe is pretty dirty.) Other pictures are just things you can see in everyday life, just in a diffrent view.
In this project the theme is basically the beauty that is hidden in your everyday life. I think my pictures were all showing that beauty, nothing was planned before taking the pictures, they were taken right away whenever I saw that beauty in my life.
After doing this project, my awareness of taking pictures have improved. I learned that everything can be something beautiful, it is just how you approach to the object. This project made my "normal" life in to very unnormal just by making me aware of the beauty around me.
