This is one of my favorite shots from my photowalk that I took on Sunday. I like this photo for a number of reasons; the most prominant being my philosophy of beauty. On a photowalk, it seems as if the most obvious thing to take a picture of is nature, it is beautiful in its natural way- something that cannot be copied. I adore nature in that respect, but I think that it takes something more to find beauty in the unnatural world. In the city, there is so much junk and metal clouding up the world's natural beauty. But if I can find a way to make that artificial material look unique if not beautiful, then that is truely an accomplishement. The composition of this photo presents something as ugly as a orange road work sign that was blocking a hole in the cement where a tree used to grow in a creative way, simple in its own beauty. There is a story behind where it has been, but the angle with which I shot it eliminates the hole of sand. As a result it looks brighter, more positive, than it is. I beleive that is something to be proud of, and a shot to respect.

Kelly, this is a really neat photo. I like the angle that you positioned the camera.
