And for my contribution...

I decided to post this one, because it's one my favorite photos I took while I was in New Zealand. 

On the subject of New Zealand, I thought I would just post a couple more of my favorites.  What I loved about the houses is that the foliage was allowed to just be. And even in its unkemptness it was beautiful. Nature doesn't take over, but it's like nature and man living together in harmony.  Plus, the cat is cute. 

I wish I could post all of the photos I took for this project, but I think this one shows what's going on pretty well.  The whole project was me taking photos of the photos in young women's rooms.  I think it's interesting how females are using photographs to express who they are.  

And so it begins.....

So to begin, I started by googling fashion photographers and grabbed the first image that caught my eye. I'm not really sure why this caught my eye. Probably because it was just a little bit different than the other 20 images that popped up.  It is an image by David LaChapelle.  I looked at some more of his more recent photos and came across this one:

The name of this one is Deluge by LaChapelle.  What I like about this one is how constructed it is as well as how beautifully crafted it is. I have been interested in constructed images for awhile now, and this one reminds me of Gregory Crewdson's work.

What I love about Crewson's photos is how incredibly layered they are.  Each and every object in the photo is intended to be there.  I can sit there and read one of his images for hours.
