Themed Shooting Assignment

Theme	Subject	Reason
1.     Anger		This photo   shows my cat, Pumpkin sitting in her chair. Pumpkin is an angry cat because she was ferrel. She has no trust in humans and rarely allows you to pet her. Her personality coupled with her face, portrays anger.
2.     Power		This shows power due to the connotation of the word "patriot" and the force associated with cars.
3.     Ugly		This photo portrays destruction. The bricks in real life are ugly and an eyesore but this photo shows that there is beauty to be found in what can be perceived as ugliness.
4.     Calm		This is the place I go when I want to relax. The willow tree provides comfort and serenity.
5.     Compassion		This shows compassion in a literal sense, as my friend pets my cat. You can see the happiness compassion provides for even the meanest of cats.
6.     Authority		This represents authority to me simply because of the camera angle. This angle is often used when something is to be portrayed as overbearing or in power. The cat is looking down, further perpetuating the idea of authority.
7.     Pride		To me, this photo shows pride due to lighting and stature of the dog. My dog's name is Nala, which alludes to Nala the lion. She also kind of looks like a lion to me, and therefore makes me think of the word "pride."
8.     Mysterious		Both sides of this door could be considered mysterious. It depends on which side you're standing on. This photo shows how even though light places are construed as safe, those on the inside looking out could consider them to be mysterious and unknown.
9.     Wisdom		I took this picture to allude to the "tree of knowledge."This photograph also makes me think of growth, addressing one of the major aspects of knowledge.
10.  Love		This picture of flowers portray love because of the color and meaning of giving flowers. The color signifies passion and desire, but the meaning flowers have come to own represent the compassionate side of love as well.
11.  Lazy		The rocking chair represents laziness because people only sit in them with the intention of being lazy. No one who wants to get anything done ever sits in a rocking chair.
12.  Temptation		My animals are always obsessed with people food and look at us intently until we give in. This shows an example of when we gave in, and the desperation of the cat to have one lick of whatever is on the plate.
13.  Happiness		This shows my cat doing what she loves. I believe happiness comes from being who you truly are.
14.  Growth		The sun is the source of nutrients of Earth. This, along with the green leaves, portrays growth.
15.  Memories		Memories reminds me of childhood, which reminds me of games. I would often play vollyball with my friends and family. The worn out look shows that these games don't happen as often anymore, perpetuating the idea of memories.
16.  Sounds		I often hear the sound of this wind chime at home. This represents true sound, as it has no purpose, but is just  consequence of nature.
17.  Diversity		True diversity is both assorted and blind. When I reach in to the bowl of skittles I don't care which color I get. They all taste different, and have their own unique "essence," but there they are all equally valued.
18.  Dangerous		This is a picture of a ladder in my chicken coup. When I was young, my mother told me not to climb it because it was too dangerous. Whenever I was alone in the chicken coup I would secretly try to climb this ladder. Each time I tried I got to another step. Soon, when I was a little older, I reached the top, and saw nothing on the top level but spiderwebs and old pots. I learned that danger was not only not worth risk, but often relative to situation.
19.  Hope		This barn is from the 1800s. It is old and falling apart. It hasn't been used in decades, but my family is starting to renovate it and give it a use. This shows that even  things considered to be "hopeless" tat one time, have hope.
20.  Truth		When I took this picture I noticed it's clarity. I think eyes show truth. This photo shows clarity because the eyes of the cat are emphasized, and the "facts" of the photo are clear.
21.  Patriotic		The flag, in a position of authority, shows it's importance for patriotism. Patriotism is facilitated thorough unification, which is represented by a flag.
22.  Sad		I get sad when summer ends. These flowers dying due to the cold reminds me that summer is ending.
23.  Terrifying		This photo shows both the gross and mysterious aspects that I associate with "terrifying" with a dark creepy place and cobwebs.
24.  Abandoned		The contrast of the red chair agains the green emphasizes the fact that the chair is alone, and vacant.
25.  Courage		Although she is mean, my cat has a lot of courage. She was a stray, and has overcome a lot in her life. She used to be starving, but now she is healthy. She reminds me to stay strong and persevere.
