Accidental Art

Brownie's Squeaky Ball

Fortune Reflection

Both of these photos were taken in my house (Approx. 200 Wyckoff Ave Brooklyn NY). They are both 2D photographs taken with my Nikon camera. The first photo is a picture of one of my dog's toy. I found this to be an accidental piece of artwork because when I saw it, I stared at it for a while because it was just on the floor with nothing around it, almost as if it was just abandoned. Brownie (my dog) had simply left if there after he got tired of playing with it. In the photo you can see the shadow of the ball on the floor. The ball contains a pattern of yellow, white, and green bones, as well as the ball being overall red. You can also see the lines on the wooden floor as well as the two small circles between every strip of wood, which are actually small nails. Over time Brownie has squeaked and played with his red ball, the chips and cracks on the little bones can depict how much he has enjoyed his favorite toy.

The second photo was taken on my dinning room table after my sister ate a fortune cookie. You can see the photo contains mostly negative space with the main subject being the fortune cookie message and the left over crumbs of the cookie. My main idea in taking the photo was to bring the focus to the message instead of the crumbs on the table. The blue text on the small white piece of paper brings a pop of color to the photo which is mostly a variation of warm colors. You can also see the texture of the cookie crumbs, some chunks are big while the others are small like a grain of salt. When I saw the fortune message I was drawn to the reflection on the glass table. I found it interesting and intriguing, like if the message was trying to reflect on the person sitting next to my sister which happened to be me.
