1. My initial reaction to the photo was Wow!! now that's cool. long ass boat ride to get here but in the long run was totally worth it. when i took the picture i noticed the light house but then when i got to looking at the picture it was the clouds ... the clouds are what i think stands out the most ... followed closely by the light house itself ... the light house affects me because it has a lot of fond memories ... that are precious.

2. in the front are navy blue waves, beige sandy beach, tall forest green trees, a little white house in the distance to the left and a tall black and white diamond lighthouse in the middle

3. the right side feels slightly heavier then the left due to the trees feeling closer and that there are more of them on the right then on the left .. the lighthouse is in the exact middle, the sky and the water are perpendicular to one another and the sky covers most of the page.

4. slowly coasting along the still waters towards a tall black and white tower in the distance, with the sun high in the sky warming our faces and bouncing off the white sandy shores. moving closer to the opposite beach you begin to notice that the far off tower is a beacon of hope or a warning to the distant sailors. the black and white tower is black and white diamond lighthouse known as Cape Lookout ... the only black and white diamond pattern lighthouse on the east coast.

5. my photo and Kathe Kollwitz have 1 thing in common ... they both represent life. Kathe drew sketches of people and my photo is for people ... cape lookout was built for sailors ... to protect them from hitting the coral reef. Kathe's sketches are for the people as well ... for entertainment.
