The photograph of the stairs that I took uses the compositional strategy of horizontal lines. Even though this is just photo of a stairs, there is a lot of meaning behind it. Stairs are things that lead you places. To me, part of my daily life is walking up the stairs in school. Every set of stairs leads me to a different destination, and leads me on a journey every day. The photograph of the doorknob uses the strategy of simplicity. When I come home from school everyday or go to hang out with my friends, I walk through the same door. This photo of the doorknob, like the stairs symbolizes a leading symbol in my life. Doorknobs are made to open doors, and this can lead you to new opportunities. This can be an opening to new ideas and experiences.The photo that I took of my cat uses the compositional strategy of birds eye view. To me this photo has a lot of meaning since I've always had a love for animals, and my cat Molly in the photo is the oldest cat in my house. I think that the blurring out of the "noise" in the background focuses more on her face, causing her to be the main focus point of the photo. I believe that focusing on just her shows a sense of dominance in the photo, and since she's the oldest cat in the house she is most dominant over the younger cats in the house. Next, the photo of the doors uses the compositional strategy of framing. When I enter school at the start of the day, I always enter from this set of doors. This is important to me since walking through the doors in the beginning is basically the start of my day, besides waking up in the morning. A majority of my day is spent at school, and it all starts with this set of doors. The last photo of my dog and turtle uses the compositional strategy of proportion and scale. I picked my dog and turtle as the subject of this photo since they are the youngest and oldest animals in my house. My dog just turned 14 and my turtle is only 3 years old. To me my dog holds all the memories that I have from the past and when I was little since he grew up with me, and my turtle, Tuck shows the start of new beginnings, since he is still growing.
The photograph of the steering wheel in the car uses the compositional strategy of symmetrical balance. When I go to school everyday my sister takes me to school. I couldn't get a picture of the steering wheel in her jeep, so I decided to use the car that I am second most in. This is the car that my mom uses to take me to school sometimes. To me this is an important part of my life, because I feel like I'm always in the car going somewhere, whether it's traveling to a different state, or going to school. The second photo I took of the head of my lacrosse stick uses the compositional strategy of curved lines. I started playing lacrosse when I was in 7th grade and stopped playing until this year in 10th grade. To me, even though I'm not very good at lacrosse I still enjoy the game and how everyone is so close on the team. Lacrosse to me is one of my favorite sports. The next photo of my door knob uses the compositional strategy of rule of thirds. Even though this is a very simple photo when you look at it first, relating it back to my daily life gives the photograph more of a meaning. This door knob opens up the door to my bedroom which everyday when I get home from school I take a nap in until around 6. So, this door knob is important since it is part of my daily life. The next photo of my carpet uses the compositional strategy of vertical lines. This carpet is a leading line towards my front door which everyday when going to school I walk on this carpet and out to the car. This carpet like any carpet I have to me leads you to a certain destination that you are going to. My last photo of the lunch room uses the compositional strategy of leading lines. Since I go to school everyday of the week I am always in the lunch room everyday, so the lunch room is an important part of my daily routine. Also I am always laughing with my friends at the lunch table and the side angle gets a view point on that.
