Week One

For my first series of photos for my concentration series, I photographed my brothers and cousins when we went out on a boat on the Columbia River to an island. Since it is Februaury, it was very cold but the sun came out and gave the images a wintry glow. The pictures appear to be cold because of the muted light. The contrast between the happy children and the muted light creates interest through contrast in the photos. In the photos of kids, I was trying to convey the idea that their strong but simple friendships can enable them to have fun together in a harsh setting. The pictures of my uncle and brother show how knowledge and wisdom can be passed down though generations.
