Brittany Smith- Crit 4


 
 
Crit 4 was so far my favorite topic to shoot.  In my collection of photos, I really tried to capture items that we use to record memories, items that contain my own memories, or how memories seem to us in our heads.  Often times, memories are very vague and sometimes hazy when we try to think back on them, which is why some of my photos have less clarity.  Also, sometimes we only remember a certain part of a moment, like a few seconds of a laugh, a chair, a hand, etc.  That’s what I tried to capture. 
My POW for crit 4 is this picture of a bear laying out in the trash for trash pick-up.  I was walking down the street one night and found this.  I thought it was kind of comical, actually, but then also felt bad because I have also been through break-ups that made me want to just throw out everything that reminded me of that person.  This photo goes very well with the “memory” category for obvious reasons.  It vividly represents memories that we wish we didn’t have to carry with us.  Sometimes we wish we could just throw them out. Unfortunately that doesn’t always work.
