Playing With Architecture
Pamela Tuazon
It goes on and on. The lines repeat. As you walk on the bridge, the poles repeatedly pass you by. I wanted to introduce one of my own photographs to you. This is one of the few pieces I've produced that intrigue me. I took this photograph in a mall in Irvine, California. The repetitive lines on the bridge and the way it curves was appealing to my eyes. In this photograph, I've incorporated the elements of lines, rule of thirds, movement, and pattern. There are some new terms I have listed. By following the rule of thirds, the rule states that the subject is not centered. In this case, I meant for the subject to be the vanishing point of the bridge. As you can see, it's off-centered. As I have not yet defined pattern, it is what creates rhythm. The pattern/rhythm is found in the curve of the bridge.
Personally, when I take photos, I like to capture anything that I find appealing. My photographs can vary anywhere from portraits to architecture. I would easily classify this particular photo as architectural. Photos of this nature typically are the most interesting. They can move a viewers eye from the most simple to most complicated direction possible. And with a single building or art piece, there is a seemingly infinite amount of angles you can shoot from and each angle can completely alter the way you see the piece.

I like this photo very much! And I agree, when you take a picture of any type of architecture, the viewer can look at it in an infinite amount of ways. For example, my eyes were drawn more to the right side of this picture. If you were to show anybody else this picture, I think they would say the flower pot stands out to them, or even the people in the background stand out to them. Seeing photographs such as this, get me very interested in attempting to take pictures.
