My inspiration for this idea was that one day we’re not going to be on this planet and all that people will have to remember us is by a plaque on the wall thus the title “Fading Memory”. It was about 9am and most of the light was coming from a skylight so I didn’t need any more light then what I had lighting. I didn’t do any editing because I didn’t feel the need to. I was able to capture what I wanted and have it look the way I wanted without editing. The mood of these photos are kinda both happy and sad. In the first one I look kinda lost and confused. In the second one when I had company I look happy. So I feel these two pictures that are similar but different. The location of the image was in Orange Hall by the front door. When I was searching for a good image to use as my artist statement I kinda just stumbled upon the idea of doing this. The strongest point in this image is probably I think the reflection and how you’re just able to see us. The weakest point of this picture I think is definitely the trash cans at the bottom of the picture. Looking back on these pictures I learned to take advantage of my surroundings but there are somethings I wished i did differently. One is make the subjects (in these images Haley and I) a little sharper and another being to have removed the trash cans prior to the image.
