So I took all of these photos over this past weekend while I was off campus visiting one of my very close friends who has an apartment in Saco located in a church. This project I’m doing for Professor Miller’s Fiction Writing Workshop is supposed to exercise the class’s ability to write about the setting in a story. I feel that both photos have the common theme of involving the sky or clouds, with the second one exhibiting the beautiful building across from my friend’s apartment with almost a sort of diaphanous gossamer over my iPhone’s camera lens. I feel the progressive eeriness of the sky also really adds to the vibe that the two photos I took are giving off as well. The first one makes me feel light and airy as I noticed how beautiful the clouds looked on the drive over, it was as if I instantly knew that I wanted to take pictures of the sky. In the first picture I also felt joyous and content in the fact that I was going to see my friend, but the picture itself makes me feel hopeful because of the sun- I always say that in the same way that you know the sun is always behind the clouds when it’s out of view, people are there for you whether you know it or not. The second image gets way more sinister very quickly, juxtaposing the happier scenery from before. This image makes me feel uneasy almost, with a very ghostly and dark appeal to it. The feeling that this second image gives an audience would definitely be unsettling and gothic, especially because of the atmosphere and glow of the clock tower and moon. Both, however, have planets, clouds, and feelings of beauty that can only be expressed through the sky’s ability of manipulation.
