Beauty: Brandon Sanchez

Beauty can be interpreted into many things; from a wonderful rose to a stunning portrait of a person or group of persons who could inspire you to create an image of beauty. I read a quote by John Keats that truly inspired me to imagine an era where people believed in that which was beautiful to look at and worship "A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness." 

Greek Mythology came to mind, and the goddess Aphrodite was the one Greek goddess that truly illustrated that one quality; beauty. There is one copy of the Greek statue Venus de Milo and it is located in the Louvre today.

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)
