The neighborhood park as it consists of multiple sections which cater to different groups of people and different activities for example skateboarding nature, basketball soccer, and baseball to a few different people from different backgrounds come here to socialize and communicate with each other which I believe would be an amazing place to take pictures, also this park has amazing views, and is surrounded by nature, which helps the theme of humans bonding with nature and socializing. I chose this park as it reminded me that sometimes we as humans need to go outside and be one with nature. The park also hosts local community gatherings, which I believe could help me get some amazing photos as we are entering spring break and a lot of people would tend to go outside around this time so my focus for the project is to get amazing shots, sunlight, nature, different sections of the park as well as the connection between human and nature, as I hope to get more shots with humans bonding with nature. The part also changes and gets upgrades over the years so I hope I could capture the wear and tear within the park as it shows that people are going there and not just abandon it as nowadays less people are going to parks and spending more time indoors so I feel like this would be an amazing project and a chance to get beautiful shots. I also want to show how humans bond with nature and even though we destroyed at times we often always come back to it and see it as this park is one in a few that actually has a lot of nature and trees which I believe, makes it very special to the community and the people that inhabit for generations to come.

Suzanne Stein – Jerry
Suzanne Stains photograph Jerry shows how isolated the world can seem when we are alone and how we seek help and guidance from those around us, both the child and man juxtapose each other as a child has youth and time but the homeless man does not. There is also the sense of being young and having hopes to find new experiences within life. The child looks to Spider-Man as his hero, while the homeless man looks to money as his hero. I also love the fact that the man’s face is covered by the smoke, as if society has forgotten him, while the child’s face is shown to show that he still has a chance to become a hero or what he hopes to be. I’m interesting detail I love about the photo is that there are chains above the man’s head, which can represent that shackled down by his past mistakes. The child has no chains and is free from any mistakes.
Suzanne uses rule of thirds to show isolation within the picture as both the homeless man and child are seamlessly so close but for a part she also uses leading lines to show connection and movement within society each line guides our eyes towards something new which can add to the image’s story and the message that the photographer is trying to tell us about society and our disconnection towards each other young or old, experience or no experience deep down we are all alone.. We also see many patterns within the background of the picture which adds to many focal points within the picture. The patterns seem almost hidden as it is not what you would see first in the picture, which shows that society may block out tiny intricate details in our day to day lives.
