Free-choice Maddie

Originally I had my eye on a jar of colorful bottle caps. I wanted to capture the vibrant colors and interesting composition of the circular objects within the old jar. As I tried to shoot the jar from different angles, I caught this flower in the background. When I took a look back at my photos after a couple of shots, I noticed the flower and decided to try and capture this as the main object while still incorporating the jar. I really like the way the jar can be seen in the foreground while the flower is the focal point. This photo has some very rich colors. The bright red of one of the bottle caps in the jar compliments the red in the flower which gives the photo a certain harmony.

Hobbies, Maddie

An unfamiliar feeling arises in the pit of her stomach. A peculiar medley of fear and excitement.  In a spontaneous moment, she decided to escape the monotonous routine of her hometown life to a place of magnificent freedom.  As she throws clothing into a giant duffel, dreams of Everest, the French Riveria, the Amazon, entertain her imagination. She glances to her left and the tickets spilling out of an American passport provoke the giant smile stretching across her ambitious face.
