Somewhat of a Conclusion

Like others before me, I enjoyed the idea of a class blog. Back before I entered high school I enjoyed web-designing and blogging on the side so having an opportunity to pick up blogging again was pretty exciting. It was definitely a pleasure having an opportunity to see so many different pieces of artwork--all great sources of inspiration--as well as reading what other members of the class had to say. Overall it was a great learning experience outside the classroom setting. It would have been nice if the blog was used more often, but I still enjoyed what was shared regardless.

In any case, one of my favorite posts on the blog belongs to Trisha. This particular post resonated deeply with me as I love photography (I'm sure a lot of you have seen me with my DSLR at least once before, haha) and seeing these pieces lit something up inside of me. I love experimenting and learning new things when it comes to photography, and it always gives me an excuse to go and explore the world, and see it through a different "view", haha. I'll definitely do something like this when I get the opportunity to wander around Toronto during the break.

"Squared Cities"

MONTREAL

TORONTO

BARCELONA

Photographer Daniel Hanai put his skills to the test when he deconstructed the most famous cities in the world and reunited them into a collage. He named these pieces "Squared Cities" and constructed them by assembling different views and angles taken with various camera settings. Personally, I would love to do something like this. I have some experience in photography so whenever i get the opportunity I will most definitely jump on it. When people think of "collage" they automatically assume "cut and paste" or assembling a number of images on top of each other. Rarely anyone thinks of photography.I thought these were beautiful...
hope you guys enjoy them as well!
