In all of America, there is nature. What we do with that nature, is in our hands. We can either protect it, and let it grow, or let it die. A lot of people decide to just not care overall, and instead to take it all for granted. It’s rare to find people who would want to stop and stare at something particular in nature. I wanted to highlight the true beauty of nature that we all take for granted. So what I did for my photography project is made my theme centered around “nature.” When we don’t even realize it, we are surrounded by very beautiful nature. Usually, when we are surrounded by nature,  we end up being happy without even realizing it. So for my theme, I went with combining the beauty in nature to the happiness of people, making my theme, “content in nature”

For my first photo, my friends and I decided to go to Washington Square with my friends since it was one of my friend’s birthday. We ended up having a really good time and the scenery was so nice over there. Without them noticing, I decided t take a picture of them having a fun time, with a beautiful piece of nature behind them. Even though they ended up being the main focus of the picture, the background and lighting ended up complimenting it so and all in all it worked out. I chose this particular picture for my gallery because it compliments my theme very well in my opinion.

For my second photo, I took another off guard photo of my friend. It was the same setting with my first photo. I decided on this photo because the nature behind her was so beautiful and pretty and in the photo, she was laughing a lot. As I was looking at the photo, I saw my theme being clearly represented here so I decided this would be a good idea.

For my third photo, I decided on this one. I went to the Brooklyn Bridge Park. I chose this because I think it accurately represents my theme because I was happy in this picture. The view behind me was very gorgeous and part of nature, which goes with my theme. Since it is a nice view, I hope people might want to protect that beauty instead of destroying it.

For this photo, it was also at the Brooklyn Bridge Park. I was walking by and I thought that this was very beautiful. It is a picture of some flowers on the side of the bush. For this part, I noticed how pretty the sunlight was on the flowers, so I thought this would be a good idea. The flowers bring out the beauty of the true nature. I wanted to choose this because I think it goes well with my theme. Hopefully people see this and say and want to protect the nature.
