Lines bringing Balance

I chose to also focus on the use of lines to create dimensionality in the photographs, and while doing so found balance in them from the lines.  I the first, a diagonal line cuts through above the photo's center and combines with the horizontal line of the ground to add perspective. Also a diagonal, light line going across the window reflects on the aspects of the can, creating the balance.  In the second, the line of the can folllows the ground and the dark of the pillars creates a shape similar to the can's. I found the mix of vertical, diagonal and horizantal lines in this photo to be intriguing.  In the third, the line from the can to its shadow implies the three dementionality of the photo, but the shadow itself creates a balance that wouldn't exist if it was not available.

Downtown Colors

One of the interesting aspects of the paint can that originally struck my eye was the unique, rusted color it has.  Ranging from brown to light orange with occassional green spots, it stands out great in brightly colored backdrops.  I thought about a bright blue Dominos building, opposing the orange of the can according to the color wheel.  Then while driving downtown, I stummbled upon a huge graffetti mural on a building, took the paint can out of my trunk and played around with the color palette the artist had used. Blurring the background of the second, I put more focus on the organce of the can so as to not lose it as the subject. The third is of the same backdrop, but from a different perspective that I thought brought an interesting set of oranges and greens that fit with the can.
