Assignment 1: "I Love Hiking"


"I Love Hiking"

This story is not exactly a complicated one. After a long hike, my roommate and I decided to take a little bit of a break. The picture that resulted turned out to be the best part of the hike. This picture, though meant to depict exhaustion, seems to also show "love for the planet". I think the combination of these two contrasting emotions creates an interesting visual. The gorgeous scenery is tainted with a disgruntled and tired hiker, making for another interesting contrast. I think this is a good example of the mixed emotions that we all often experience in life. It's also hilarious to see how pathetically out of shape we are.

  1. This got an immediate reaction from me: Laughter. Then I thought of all the implications the photo might have and was pleasantly surprised when your comments matched my thoughts precisely. Good job.

  2. I think this picture is great because the longer I look at it, the more I see. At first my eye is drawn totally to your roommate, and then I see the background and notice all the details there.
