Simplicity
Here is the last of the more recent photos for a while. This is a photo I took behind our local mall. I call it Simplicity for two reasons. One of the visual elements that I teach is simplicity – the idea that you should focus on one thing and eliminate any distracting backgrounds. I think this photo demonstrates this element. However, I also call it Simplicity because after I printed it, all I could think was wouldn’t our world be much simpler if billboards actually looked like this. I find the billboard very beautiful and peaceful – feelings I do not usually associate with billboards or advertising in general. Feelings that often run counter to the attainment of more stuff. Peace, Happiness.
