Patterns and Backgroun

{Swirly Straws}

Taken in my kitchen, this photo portrays the use of patterns. I used gray and white paper straws to get this effect. 

{Bad Background}

Pretty much self-explanatory. This picture doesn't have a good background because of the frame in the back and the lines coming from the ceiling and walls. 

{Excellent Background} 

I really like this background because it hardly exists! Baha. I enjoy how the plain color brings me out in this selfie. 

Leading Lines and Symmetry

{Lonely Breakfast}

Symmetry in patterns here (obviously also some asymmetry). The eggs might not be lonely, but the person who only had to make one fried egg is. I especially like how the rule of thirds played out in this one. (Taken in the kitchen.)

{Not Enough Juice}

I like to think there were eight people trying to suck the juice out of this grape, but it didn't have enough for everyone. I distressed the colors so we could get the feel of neediness of the drinkers and pain from the grape (now a raisin) here. (Taken in the kitchen.)

{Self Portrait}

Now I know this isn't actually a picture of me. But your eyes see "Smith" and "M" pretty dominantly, which is my name (Morynn Smith). I used asymmetry and rule of thirds (vertically) here. 

Colors and Rules of Thirds

{Deliciously Different}

The picture uses color to draw your eyes immediately to the red straw. But what I also found interesting is that the red straw is just slightly spiraled differently than the gray ones. I found these straws in my kitchen, also where the photo was taken.

{Not All Old Things Are Colorless}

 My next picture is of my typewriter in my room. I used the rule of thirds for this one. It's slightly crooked but I left it that way because it gives it an extra antique-y feel. 

{Bird in the Wire}
This picture is of the glittery bird in a cage in my room. I liked how your attention is drawn immediately to the bird, but then you notice other things like the color of the cage and the grass underneath it. Rule of thirds is also applied here.
