Negative Space
The red/orange colored dirt at Qutub Minar provided this photo with the adequate negative space for this black adorable puppy to be the focus of. He was so precious taking a nap! I think I was able to shoot the picture right before he rolled over.. ahh so cute!
Figure Ground
I found this to be a simple representation of figure ground, because it is literally a figure (the rock) and the ground. The image was shot in Lothal which provided for many more exciting photos for my blog, so get excited!
Grid System
Another exciting photo from Lothal! It is also simple, but I think it accurately portrays a grid system, with horizontal and vertical lines.
Eyeflow
This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. It was taken at Amir's palace in Jaipur. It has such a wonderful view of the tree covered mountain in the distance and looks as if the arches continue on and on, which they do.
Gestalt
In the Whistling Woods film school I saw this design on the wall and found it to be the closest Gestalt image I have seen in India. The design is crazy and funky and it's hard whether to focus on the black design before the white or vice versa.
Alignment
I thought this giant set was hilarious. I'm a little disappointing that during our stay in Jaipur I did not see anyone actually using it. The pieces are aligned perfecting next and across from each other, making it symmetric also.
Proximity
On the bus in Mumbai we drove down by the beach and I saw this giant mob of of gray and realized it was hundreds of pigeons! They were all in such close proximity to each other it was hard to distinguish what they were from a distance.
Symmetrical Balance
There are few things on earth that are as symmetrical as the Taj Mahal. If you were to cut it in half you would see that each side is literally identical to the other. I cannot imagine the amount of time and precise craftsmanship that went into the making.
Asymmetrical Balance
In this photo you see a rickshaw on one side and a cow of a completely different shape and anatomy on the opposite side. This is asymmetrical for because not only are the figures different shapes they are also different in their being. One is a living creature, while the other is mechanical.
Scale
At the jewelry store in Jaipur I came across the cute painted ceramic containers. They are all painted and in the same style using the same colors, but three are in a different forms. One as a vase, one in a cylinder shape, and the other as a bowl.
Unity
I could not help putting in another picture of these beautiful lillies from the Trident hotel in Delhi. I was in love with their smell, color, and wonderful presentation. I loved how the hotel placed them in such a big round bouquet!
Contrast
In this photo taken in the Old City of Ahmedabad, you see mostly plain colored walls. Then, BAM! An intensly bright blue wall! It's color would be bright next to other colors, but being contrasted next to the plain colored walls makes it stand out even more!
Perspective
On our sight seeing day of Mumbai we had the great opportunity of going into an old famous train station that is still active. Oh, and Slumdog Millionaire filmed in it too! Looking down the station you see the trains receding into the background, almost as if they were converging.
Point of View
The tower at Qutub Minar was so tall it was hard getting a good shot of it without kneeling on the ground. I saw this archway and thought it would be a neat picture if I knelled and had the archway as a frame around the tower. So I did it!
Mass
On our visit to Lothal there was not much going on. The dogs that followed us around were, by far, my favorite part. They were so sweet and looked up at you with there big eyes. I had to restrain myself from taking them back to MICA with me.
Repetition
I found the archways of this picture, from Amir's Palace in Jaipur, to be a good example of repetition. I think it's to be mesmerizing! I like how it makes the illusion of the passage ways getting smaller in the distance.
Rhythm
I saw this iron gate in Bombay and thought the continuous diamond shape was rhythmic. The shapes are perfectly aligned and are identical throughout the gate.
Proportion
This image is out of proportion. On one side there is a man and on the right there is an animal that looks like a giant next to him. The camel is one of many that we saw gallivanting around the city of Jaipur.
Tension
This photo of a tall man, who is probably an important figure in the Jain faith, with two smaller people on either side of him. The tall man seems to represent intimidation by having power over the two smaller creature that look to be clinging on to him for support. For this reason, I see tension in the photo.
Kinetic Sequencing
I think that this photo represents kinetic sequencing because it looks like the colors from the tree like figure are moving together. As if they are being blown by the wind in the a westward direction.
