This photograph was taken outside my apartment, late at night. I think it exemplifies two major different theories from Freeman’s work. When looking at this photograph the first theory that comes to my mind is the concept of curves. Although it is very subtle you can see the lamp posts curve as the go around the corner of the house. Freeman describes some curves as having straight line components in relation to the actual curve. Often times these straight lines are found at either end of the curve. In this picture, there is some straight line relation to the curve at the very beginning. This curve helps add a sense of movement to the photograph as a whole.
Another one of Freeman’s theories found in this photograph is the diminishing perspective. The lights seem to get smaller and smaller as they are further away. Most often, the diminishing perspective works the best with images that are similar objects. The placement is essential when dealing with diminish perspective because it helps determine the general feel for the photograph. This is one of my favorite photographs that I took during the whole project. It is very simple, but there is also a lot going on. It has more to it, than what meets the eye.
