After I took this shot I tried to change the light switch to "On" so i could get the whole juxtaposition thing goin on. I figured it wouldn't budge and i was right besides, I think there's much more of a story to be found if it's in the off position. It just sets more of a downcast mood.

I think this is really funny being that it's in an old abandoned farmhouse.
I guess it was just dumped there after the house was abandoned cause i don't see Farmer Ted on the eliptical surrounded by cows...

When I first approached these I expected them all to be dirty magazines that were amassed by a bunch of teenage guys. However, they turned out to be family magazines and bunches of National Geographic issues.

I found this awesome abandoned farm while driving around my home town. There was so much broken glass and nails on the ground I'm amazed I didn't get my foot stabbed. Thank goodness for boots!

Soft Footbridge
DIGITAL
From atop a bridge one can see in the distance a small path leading through the woods opening up to a small stone footbridge surrounded by algae. As I exited the path it opened right up to reveal the footbridge, so I started to take pictures because I found the placement of the footbridge to be quite aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. I was experimenting with a new technique I thought of in order to get an image to appear both in focus and out of focus at the same time. The outcome is an easily recognizable image with areas of sharpness and areas of softness without loosing any substantial detail. My reason for using this technique is because the lighting of the area combined with the algae and the stone textures created an image with a high amount of contrast. As I looked at the bridge from afar it gave me this very warm feeling involving clichéd images of meetings between young men and women. In addition to my imagination, the surrounding trees were yellowish green at the time and created an overall warm glow when viewed from a distance. When taking pictures I realized that this soft quality was lost in the up close image. My solution was to take the picture with an extended shutter speed of around three – four seconds and while the shutter was open rotate the focusing ring on my lens. The image was in focus when the shutter was first opened, then at around two seconds I began to rotate the focusing ring so that it would focus slightly closer and then slightly farther than the initial image. Using this technique I found I was able to return the soft, warm, glowing effect I was looking for.
