Ā “Festival lottery prize”
I took this photo of the āFestival Lottery Prize ābecause I wanted to have a theme about the festival for my photo essay.Ā The meaning of the photo to me is that this is my proof of experience of winning the prized figure. I tried to use the āRule of Thirds where I had the photo taken where the anime figure is around the edge of the four corners. The background behind this photo is there was a marble lottery where you can pay five dollars for a spin. This photo is how I celebrated at the festival as I managed to win an anime figure as I tried to smile. This will be the first photo to introduce the theme of the festival.
“Festival Mikoshi”
I chose the āFestival MikoshiāĀ since the Mikoshi (portable shrine) was a part of the festivalās Japanese aesthetic. The meaning of the photo to me is that it drew me in with it’s colors of yellow and gold. This would be the second photo, and I will transition to it to describe the festivalās culture. How is it that this shrine with lots of gold colors intertwined with the festival? The meaning of the colors that hit me when I first saw bit during the festival.
“Eating Takoyaki Alone at the Festival”
I choose āEating Takoyaki Alone at the Festivalā as I would like to describe the Takoyaki that I ate at the festival. The meaning of the photo to me is the food that I tasted there was during the festival. The focus point of this image is the Takoyaki for I to transition from the festivalās prizes to the Mikoshi, and end it off with the food. This is so I can try to tell a cohesive story with a beginning middle and end with these three photos with the quotes from each Arthur’s we talked about.
