Flightless Bird American Mouth by Iron and Wine

I really love this song.
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins

All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys

Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair

Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth

Big pill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat

Nursing my sore blunt tongue

Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks

Pissing on magazine photos

Those fishing lures thrown in the cold And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth

Big pill stuck going down.

I'm done with the 10 pictures for theme.

MY theme is the elements minus one and plus one.

FIRE, WATER, EARTH, and LIGHT.

The element I took out was WIND

because I don't know how to portray that but If I find a way I'll add it to my pictures.

My model in this picture to the left in Olivia she was a very good model to work with.She added her own flavor to the picture, and she makes me laugh when I am trying to take her picture.

Some of the pictures came out blurry because I was laughing.

 The next one is water drawn on to a piece of paper, water can come in many forms even handdrawn.

The next picture was my friend Tashia ,I picked her because she has a very fierce look and attitude and I like her clothes .

She was an absolute joy to work with because if you told her to do something with her face she does it and it makes it easier on me because then i just have to pick the right angle to portray the picture how i want it to look. I would recommend her as a model because she is nice and she loves taking pictures!

And I picked these photos because you can have a fire( passion) for instruments

or it could be just fiery photos ...YOU pick. The light bulb of course you know is my LIGHT because what else is light?

I picked the lighttable in my photo class because the bulb as you can see is unscrewed and the light is shining in the background. it is kind of a ironic picture with a classic feel.

Fancy maybe?

The next one is the EARTH as you can read. But in the letters is the greenery and what you would imagine when I said the word " EARTH"

So I did just that I said what comes to mind when I say EARTH

WELL flowers and trees

so i put flower petals

and as you can see I could not fit a tree so I put branches and leaves.

On the last two I put the pine needles and what was supposed to be water.

:)

Anyways this has been a very enjoyable photoshoot and I am extremely pleased with how these photos came out.

Nature assignment

This assignment had very difficult lighting but overall it was very enjoyable. This assignment shows the life cycle of plants, because it starts out green at the bottom , which most plants do start out green and it ends up brittle and brown. Lifeless and dead. It shows the life cycle because they are intertwined in the same picture and you know whats going on.

Shakespeare assignment

This assignment was difficult to understand but your passion in life isn't always going to be easy, you have to push yourself past the hard things to create beautiful ones. The shakespeare assignment was interesting, I had to think about what the quote meant to me and how it could be photographed. I think that this photograph pictures my interpretation of this quote perfectly, I purposely blurred the background, because the quote said " we all have our exits and entrances" and the blurred leafs are exiting the stage and the brand new green budding leaves are entering the stage. It's their time to shine, because once the exiting leaves were on center stage, but now it is their time to exit and let someone else be center stage. And you never know what could happen to the leaves, they could continue budding and turn into very green beautiful leaves or they could die, or be burned, or not have enough water. This photo speaks to me, it makes me understand this quote better.
