Artist Name: Matthlas Clamer Photo Title: //Montana Mountains// Date Taken: Unknown Web Address: []

I chose this picture because the light vs. dark style of this picture really caught my eye. I like how the only point of light in this picture is coming from behind the male figure. It seems to me that the male figure is walking away from something and maybe leaving behind a bad part of his life. There is also shadow in this picture. The man casts a large shadow of himself on the bridge as he is walking away. When I look at this my eyes are drawn right to the light behind the figure.

Artist Name: Philip and Karen Smith Photo Title: //Woman walks along submerged log in Mountain Lake// Date Taken: unknown Web Address: []

I really liked this picture when I saw it because you can clearly see her reflection in the lake. You can also see the mountain and the trees reflected in the lake in the background. If you split this picture into three sections then it would be clearly defined in three sections. The three sections I see are the reflection of the girl in the water, the girl walking on the log, and the mountains in the background. I also like that there’s a reflection of the sun right by her feet in the water. I find it interesting the way the sun bounces off the water and reflects in different directions. When I look at this picture, I am immediately drawn to the reflection of the girl in the water. I also especially love how you can see right through the water to the bottom of the lake. Artist Name: Steve Satushek Photo Title: //Shadow of father and child// Date Taken: Unknown Web Address: []

I like this picture because the shadows of the father and the baby show the love of their relationship. This is a shadow picture, but also a light vs. dark because the background is light and the shadow is dark. I like the endless possibilities in this picture. It could be any two members of a family, or even friends, meeting for the first time. I like to think of all the possibilities that come with this picture. The picture seems happy, and you can even see a little bit of a smile in the shadow of the man. I also have a sweet spot for babies so I could not resist picking this picture.
