Anna Keiser: Vision

Nighttime skyline of businesses across from Sloan's Lake in Denver.

After a long night of work at the local McDonald's, my vision becomes a bit blurry. The city lights are bright and make me squint. I believe that artists have a vision in everything they create, such as the architects that built the strip of businesses on Sheridan. With a long exposure and some movement, you get a vision of something completely different.

In the depths of the world there is a dark side to everything. Halloween brings out fear and excitement for all ages. Why not be scared by one of the most powerful elements of the world, fire. Fire brings out skulls and nighttime. Fire can burn things down and help light an area when scared to death by something unthought of. Happy Halloween!!

Water is a continuous source of movement in certain cases water will never stop.  It may shift and it may change but will never cease to move.  The biggest question when photographing water is what impression it should leave.   

When using a fast shutter speed it freezes the water and will make it look dangerous and rigid.  However, on the flip side, using a slow shutter you are able to sculpt the path the water takes and show its softer side.  It will look pleasing, soft, and some what inviting.  So, the choice is yours, how will you photograph the beautiful never endless movement of water?  © Brandon Chapin Photography

While lots of people say photography is about light, I say there is also another power at play: Time.  Photographic images wouldn't exist without light, but in the same aspect could you say the same about an image's existence in respect to time? I guess it is one of those chicken or the egg moments. The more I think about it though I know time has a huge influence on whatever photograph one may look at. Time within the artist's life, the time it took to make the image, the timing of the moment the image was taken. Anyway you look at it, time had an influence. Photographers have always studied light. What about the study of time, like the image I have made, a construct of time if you will. I tried to compress my bike commute time into one single frame.  If you are intrigued you might enjoy taking a look at Michael Wesely's work and study of time where he takes exposures years at a time.

Driving and motion go together. Even standing still you know that the automobile will move. Some vehicles you can tell by their personality that they are ready to move, make motion, get from point A to B. This Ford Focus is where the automobile is going. Fuel efficient, stylish, small, and aimed at a younger demographic.
