Project 6

Day in the life of  a 3 yr old 

Henri Cartier-Bresson

So I picked this picture because it is an interesting view of the world.  I love the kid playing on the railing with the barges behind him, moving equipment.  This kid reminds me of my son, playing and having the time of his life without a care in the world.  Although I would worry about him falling and busting his head or hurting himself.  Sometimes especially when times are difficult like today it is nice to look at the world through the eyes of a child for a moment.  It is a little less scary sometimes.  

 The contrast between the dark colors and light colors.  There is also a contrast between the playfulness of the foreground and the seriousness of the factories and barges in the middle and back ground. There are parallel lines between the railing, the kid, the shore line, the barges and the opposite shoreline.   The POV is a how most people look at the world, a eye level POV.   The patterns of the docks on the opposite shore are interesting.  The focal point is the boy.  

Project 6 ideas

Life through hands
So take pictures of peoples hands through out their lives.   1st picture a kids hands then maybe two teenagers holding hands,  then a proposal picture, then a wedding day picture... etc all the way to an older couple holding hands.  I have a couple ideas of how to make this work but due to the virus it may be a little difficult but I am excited about this one the most. 
The second idea would be a day in the life of a three year old. 
 Being cooped up with my three year old gives me lots of opportunity to take his picture.  I will do my best if this is the proposal picked to get a good POV on these pictures as I know it is a project that has been done before.
