Iced Car
In the photo of the front of my car one icy morning, I was choosing to fill the frame with my shot. When taking pictures of a car one will usually fit the entire car into the shot. By filling the frame with only the front part of the car, one is forced to see the subject in a new way. Filling the frame of a photo can add an aesthetic value to one’s photo and force the viewer to see the subject a new way. This technique is often used when taking pictures of people to get facial features or ripples in the muscles that would be lost otherwise. My goal was to not loose the beauty of the icy car by including too much. I felt by filling the frame, the idea and subject were not lost in a bunch of background or even silvery car. This photo of a car is not just a car, it tells of my first winter keeping a car going by myself on these icy, cold mornings. It is even beautiful.
