RICH - DREW LUNDQUIST

"All men dream: but not equally." To be 'rich' in wealth, good company, territory, flavor or vibrance, it was difficult to determine what I thought the word should mean; 'plentiful' and 'abundant' according to Websters. I struggled to find a good representation of the word and eventually confused myself, hindering any creative progress. Being rich in color or flavor was an initial plan but I never really felt good about any of the shots I got. There's a reason why I distance myself from food photography. For as long as I can remember, I've fantasized about venturing off to uncharted islands, in search of buried treasure. It's right up there with learning the ways of the Force, and flying, so, in short, this is a representation of the search for wealth (to become rich)
A bit of a stretch I know, but finding treasure is about as likely as me becoming rich; but that's fine I don't need to be rich, I just don't want to struggle.
(note: I also got to play with fire)

Rich is something that I am not. Rich is something that I probably won't ever be. But, when I want to feel rich, I drink a martini. That's what all the fancy rich people do. Pinky out!

DIRTY.DIRTY.RICH.RICH. I got my inspiration for this alternative, rich scene from the one and only Lady Gaga. Using a model with tattoo's and a 'harder' look while in a feminine pose, with a high fashion outfit, composes my idea perfectly. Using repeating patterns and mainly black and white color her tattoo's shine through. The clash of both is eye catching..

What does it mean to be rich? My grandfather has always said to be rich in you pocket you must be rich in your mind. I decided to photograph a book in motion because gaining knowledge is never ending. “The more you learn, the more you earn.” This is his most famous saying as well as the one I hold closest to heart.

Recently I've been a little obsessed with painting.  When I should be doing my homework, I chose to paint instead, but at least it's better than watching television or cruising the internet all day.  While painting the other day, I saw a great photo opportunity to demonstrate the concept "rich" right in front me.  I realized while I was mixing paint that the colors seemed to all blend together and look very rich.  That is what I tried to capture in this image.  Thanks to my lensbaby, I was able to make all the colors blend together in order to create the same feeling I felt while painting.

I felt this is rich in color, and is a breath taking sunrise.

To be rich in color or to vibrant, strong and deeply saturated with color. Orange is an intense and vivid color associated in the Elizabethan Era as a status of wealth. Enforced by the Sumptuary Laws that only the rich or the affluent upper class were allowed to wear the color orange. Very costly at the time to dye any fabrics but especially the color orange as it was a combination of colors and technique to achieve the brilliant, rich and dramatic color orange.
