Part One
Composition: My goal was to emphasis the carving into the side of the blockhouse. I also really wanted to make her look natural and I love the angel that the blockhouse provides. It almost looks like it is crooked.
Concept: My image shows the old parts of Muskegon. This image supports the compositional elements because one can see how many years it has taken to carve names into the wood as well as the cracks in the cement.
Method: I did brainstorm and decided that I did want to take shots at the blockhouse. My original idea was to take it from the upstairs windows but they were to high for me to reach so I took my chances and stood on top of the fence, practicing my balancing skills. I also used natural lighting.
Motivations: My goal was to show the blockhouse in an organic way and have my modal looking as natural as possible. I think that it may look nice if she was looking the other way.
Context: I really was not aiming for any other photographer but in the back of my mind there is always the two photographers from Muskegon. I really enjoy all the work that they do. This image is historic and I believe it is a key thing to see when traveling to Muskegon to see Lake Michigan.
Part Two
Interpretation: Others loved this image because they liked the background and how much of the writing they could see on the wood. They interpreted it as a natural image.
Evaluation: The wood and odd angel is really working for this image. I would like to bring out the writing more and have the picture be focused on the background rather then the for ground.
Extension: I think this image would make a great series by showing all the old areas in on the lake and downtown old Muskegon.
