TIME PASSES…

The message I aim to convey through my photograph is the beauty of time passing. The most attractive instant we can capture is the moment when the shape and form of an object gradually evolve as time passes, and the texture that is emphasized as it ages. The beauty of nature is something that can’t be created even if you want to, which makes it more appealing and engaging. My goal for the trip is to have the viewers understand the natural beauty of time with the focus in texture. Some might view the worn-out textures and shapes as a messy thing; however, I want my viewers to truly appreciate how precious they are, and how they makes us think deeper about our life too, as humans also gets older and older due to the pass of time. Therefore, I aim to take photos with a great clarity and sharp focus, straight photography. I feel like straight photography is a great method to capture specific textures.  For inspiration, I have some of Aaron Siskind’s photos of walls with peeling paint and paper, which are the textures that I aim to look for. Aarond Siskind’s photos really capture the textures of the walls with an extremely focused view. I also loved how he creates significant photographs that include a mysterious atmosphere just with monotone colors. Time and nature are things we can’t just acquire or create; they are what we should appreciate for being in our environment.
