What is Beautiful? Part Two

Our second set of photography students went out in the same neighborhood to look for subjects they found to be beautiful. Some students found this subject to be more difficult as shown by less pictures being taken than when they took pictures of What is Ugly?. One student shared that she did not find it to be difficult because she would rather focus on the good things in life than the bad. Some students shared that they wish they could focus on the good things more easily. Our hope is that this class will empower the teens to make changes in their own neighborhood. Some of our teens have helped plant a community garden and landscape the LYN House in an effort to make our neighborhood more beautiful.

Ryan: What is Beautiful?

I like it because the dark clouds frames the photo.

Mayson: What is Beautiful?

I like this picture because I picked a green bean and held it up to take the picture. (Green bean grown from Mayson's own garden).

Alisha: What is Beautiful

I like all the green in the picture. I also like how I got mostly leaves then one little fruit thing. I also like the sun on some of the leaves and then there's some with shade.

Courtney: What is Beautiful?

The focus is the intersecting grass blade and it was meant to blend out of focus.

Victoria: What is Beautiful?

I like this picture because the way the light shines on it and the shadows in the leaves/flowers makes the picture look more interesting and unique.
