Travel

"All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware." – Martin Buber

Nails

The finer details are often over looked either in are daily lives or in the grand scheme of things. Taking a step back to look at the big picture can make you realize some of the smaller things in life that matter just as much as the big things. I photographed this old pier, beaten and weathered from years of abuse; it stood in ruins with waves crashing around the beams. I took several photos of the over all structure, but after looking at it I found that there was a even smaller interesting subject matter within it. The old rusted nails and rough beams stood out to me as I got closer. Where boards use to lay, now only stand rows and rows of strong and sturdy nails. The beams, well worn, had scares of fire and rot apparent on them. 

Strawberry Shortcake

I was given this magazine cover template and had to create an image involving food that was designed to fit within the template. I used shallow depth of field to direct the viewers attention on the strawberry shortcake. I also added the white bowls and red colander to make the background more interesting and add dimension to the shot.
