The object is a miniature statue of two hands praying. I found this rock in my house by my moms plants, I think she keeps it as a reminder of our relationship with God. Although I never really noticed it in our household, something told me to take a picture of it. It makes me feel comfortable because hands that are hold symbolize togetherness. One of the struggles I had was cleaning it before the shot.
This object is a flower vase that looks like a snowman. My mom got this as a gift from a neighbor and ever since she has been using it for her plants and flowers. This stood out to me as it's around Christmas time and I think white is a good reflector of light. I also think the material is made out of and the other colors help bring out the snowman's face. Looking at it now with the Mosiac filter I think it looks washed out a little.
This is an action figure I got from my prior job taking pictures of action figures. When we were given the assignment I figured the easiest thing to take pictures of would be some sort of toy. An anime im watching right now is One Piece, which happens to be where this figure comes from. His name is Monkey D Luffy, and hes the captain of a group of pirates. I like this figure because of his design, and the many colors apart of it. One of the issues I faced was holding the camera steady with the small lens I was using.
This object is my sisters. Its a toy Xylophone (a musical instrument) that has letters on one side telling which key the metal strips will play. Its held together by a wood frame and plastic pins. Like some of my other pictures I think the color plays a big part in standing it out which is why I like this object because its very versatile in the way you set it up for photography. I had a lot of fun photographing it because of those reasons.
I also got this from home. My family likes card/board games so we have a lot of objects regarding that area. I chose the cards because I really like the print of the different diamonds on the front of the box. I think this object does a good job of displaying its geometry. From any angle you are able to see its different dimensions (sides and angles) which I think is pretty important in taking photos.
