Artist 7


Tree Tops, from the series Somewhere in Israel 
I was interested in this series because I am drawn to all the shapes in the photograph, they keep my eyes moving around the photo. I could not find how this photo was made but if I had to guess a photograph was taken, then manipulation with some chemical. I am not drawn to the variety of color, it is a little nauseating to me, but I am still interested in the concept.

Artist 6

"Structure of Thought" by Mike and Doug Starnes
This series is about Absorption and transmission, metaphorical exploration of light as a requisite for photography and vision, and as a symbol of enlightenment. Representing our brain and its thoughts in which they are all structured differently but all come from the same place and and obtain some of the same attributes. I love the metaphorical approach, for me it gives the photograph life and feeling i feel I can some how relate with the photographs. I like that i can see texture in the photograph whether there is or not, i get the sense there is, making the photograph more dense.
