Blog 3 - Chiaroscuro in black and white

1) I don't like black and white ... its to bland. But then again there is beautiful contrast between the lights and dark's and in the shadowing. The first thing i notice is the remote control ... it is half cast in shadow and light ... almost equally. The Picture makes me follow the contrasting shadows in a zig-zagish form.

2) There is a white circular bottle that is mostly white with some of the label showing ... a white cube with a character drawn on it ... a solid black rectangle with some reflected light and another solid black shape.

3) The composition has many straight lines and curves ... the composition it almost half light and half dark and the objects fill the entire composition.

4) The composition almost tells a story ... everything in the composition is a modern technological advancement ... there is a ps2 wireless controller, a cell phone, a digital alarm clock, a TV remote control, and saline solution bottle. Every item tells a story of how man has grown and developed through out time.

5) My photo compares to Albrecht Durer’s drawings in the fact that it is the light and dark shadows of things people and objects .
