Trapped
I liked this shot. It didn't quite fit as any of the keywords we were given but i think it very effectively represents a trapped individual. With the emotive expression and the light barely reaching them.
Mystery
We took many photos of dark alleys and old building that all gave off a mysterious feel but i thought this photo was the most intriguing. Without a sign or any information as to why all we know is that these stairs are off limits. The colours also work well as the dark red and black band contrasts with the blue wall and light behind, emphasising the denoted message. Also because the stairway looks just like any other stair in our building it leaves you wondering "why this section in particular?" and that question opens up all sorts of curious thoughts.
Happiness
It's not hard to see why i chose this picture to represent happiness. Aside from the beaming smile i like the image of a girl and her bicycle with basket, it's very reminiscent of many older films and cartoons portraying sweet content girls, one in particular that comes to mind is Dorothy happily cycling along with her dog Toto in the wizard of oz.
City
This smokey city skyline is a good view of our surrounding taken from higher ground, giving us a fuller picture of our city. What i like about this shot is the 'white space' (although grey would be more accurate!) included keeping it balanced and creating distance and scale.
Calm
An unusual picture, i think it was the straight line of the pipe that interested me about this one. But it's would be fair to say that running water is often portrayed as calming and i think it works well along side the grassy rocks behind. This little spot certainly seemed far from the bustling city that surrounded us.
Anguish
Anguish is a great word! Here describing the devastation young Fabian feels when he returns to find what is left of his trusty bike. This picture is focuses just on the figure, His whole body showing his horror, and the bike, making it a view into a personal experience.
