Nature
photography is a new thing to me. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when
entering this class. During the first field trip, I was just wondering around.
I wasn’t really sure what to do, so I saw that there were lots of holes in the
trees and ground. I made it like a game for only me to play. That made it more
interesting.
As
the semester went on I had to start putting together an overall theme. It
wasn’t until one Saturday morning when it was snowing and I was walking through
the woods almost by myself. It reminded me of Lucy Pevensie, from the
Chronicles of Narnia, walking into Narnia for the first time. She was so
innocent and everything was so magical. I felt exactly like her, that scene
would not get out of my head. And as I continued on my walk through the woods,
other areas put images from films in my head. I was so excited when I got back
from my trip that I went through and looked through my past images. I noticed
an ongoing theme of my favorite topic, Disney.
I
found Disney in every turn from then on. Sometimes it was difficult to see
because I was thinking too much but when I would sit down at my computer and
let my roommates have a look, they would help me see what I saw.
When
I am lost, I like to relate my situations to things I am familiar to. I am very
familiar to Disney. It has made a huge impact on my life and I quite enjoyed
finding it in my travels through the woods.
I
really admire the magic found in the world of Disney and I believe that same
magic can be found in the miracles of nature. I viewed my portfolio as an
opportunity to showcase that magic.
Disney
has a major theme of nature. Nature can be found in all of the original
animated features. Snow White has to abandon herself in the woods for sometime
because the Queen was jealous. Edward discovers knowledge in the woods in the
Sword in the Stone. Sleeping beauty discovers true love while living in the woods.
Pocahontas taught the settlers that you couldn’t abuse nature but rather
respect the world we live in.
All
of these ideas brought forth the images I found during my travels. I pictured
all of my favorite films and tried my best to photograph natures beauty.
This
whole semester has been a wonderful experience that has taught me how to open
my mind.
