I am still not quite sure how I saw this image, but I am glad I did. I am getting to like it more and more. I did not expect the white hat to play such a large role. This image belongs on my office wall.
This was taken as homework for the November class of Advanced Photography. This image is intended to illustrate the following quote:
"The content of art must go beyond the presentation of the individual objects of which it consists. When I project my strivings and forces into nature I do so also as to the way my strivings and forces make me feel... To miss the metaphorical and to see only the literal is to misunderstand the expressive aspects of photographs..." -- Terry Barrett

I like how the white hat stands out on its own. But I'm still trying to figure out how the photo fits the quote..? (The scientist is being too literal again.)
ReplyDeleteI like my eye wanders along the table tops to the white hat. It's interesting that she looks so solitary, but there really were quite a few people milling around.
