In Their Shoes, A Work In Progress

This is a picture I took as a part of brainstorming for my thesis proposal project. Surprisingly, I think I actually know what I want to do, or kind of where I want to go with my thesis. The idea is from a project I did in my Concept class last fall. The project was titled, "In Their Shoes," stemming from the proverb about walking a mile in someone else's shoes. With my project, I hope to call people to think differently about who they interact with in their daily lives. Causing people to pause and try to understand more about who others are and where they came from before judging them. Obviously, I'm in the beginning stages of development and it's a work in progress. So this diptych is of my padre and his shoes.

contrast of hue

This is an image I turned in for my assignment last week while I was in Arlington. Debb, Jenny and I went to the hospital to see all of Debb's gorgeous baby pictures. I was looking for something that would fit the criteria of the assignment and this just fell into my lap. The assignment was to create a photo that utilized contrast of hue, while paying attention to the picture plane. Creating color combinations of pure hues that either come forward or recede, causing activation of the picture plane. I love how this image turned out, and apparently so did my professor! :)
