30 Pictures/5 Sketches

   Saturday afternoon I spent part of the day taking pictures in Rittenhouse Square by Walnut Street. It was a great experience because I have never really spent time looking around the area, and it helped me see things more artistically by taking an abundance of photos from different angles and perspectives. I took all different types of pictures from landscapes to closeups. When I have a responsibility to take a lot of pictures I start learning how to see things more creatively and think up newer ideas for photographs. It helped me to grow artistically, and in doing so, I had an enjoyable afternoon.

Response to Quote by Lawrence Weiner

It's a little extreme but I do feel that some pieces of art are indelible from your mind and can move one into creating a certain type of style. Certain art is very inspirational and it can make a huge impact on people's way of thinking; other art is pretty to look at but may have no strong meaning to the viewer. This quote talks about art of the world as a whole, where each piece is in a different circumstance, in relation to how it effects it's viewers.
