Empty Space

Sunday, February 24, 2008

The sky is really just a vast amount of empty space. Who wants to look at emptiness? I do, but it has to be done right. You can take a small object, photograph it against the sky, and it makes that empty space work to perfection. It will confuse a viewer as to whether or not the sky is the subject of the photo or not.


These two photos are using that empty space of the sky. Although I included a little more of the subject it works almost the same way. Without the grass in these pictures the viewer would just say, "Oh...A picture of the sky." But because of the grass the viewer can enjoy the beauty of the natural sky, as well as what comes from the earth.
It is the same as in all our lives. We all have that empty space. At times it fits and is just what is needed, and other times we need to look for something to fill that emptiness. It doesn't have to be something grand and complex, it can be the most simple thing like posting photos and thoughts on the internet for random people to look at.
