Earlier Homeworks

So I have pictures of the first two homework assignments that I did in this class. We only just got them today in class, though I have a few of my own pictures that I can throw up alongside the ones taken in class.


This first one is supposed to be the shadow of one of the green line trains here in Boston. The idea was to make a silhouette of something that has some significance to me. I've always been fascinated by trains, especially when I was younger. I used to have a model train layout back home, and I loved working on it.
The other, greater significance to me however, is that the Green Line is one of the easiest ways for me to get back to my hometown from Boston now. So, in a way, symbolizes the link between my two worlds


This first photo here is actually me attempting to run the picture through my scanner. As you can see, some of the details around the edges of the bridge got blurred 'cause the scanner wants to focus on what's right against the screen.
Anyhow, the concept of this assignment was to base a collage, in part, off of a photo up on flickr, that had good concepts of both line and shape. I chose this image because I thought it was a good example of these ideas, but also because it the original picture looked really desolate and kinda post-apocalyptic, and those kinda photos fascinate me.

Credit for the original image goes entire to the photographer on flickr
