The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale. It's the way we use our body to deceive people. When we are taking photos we choose positions in which will make us look better and choose the feature that we like best to be highlighted. Also it's not just in photography in which people do the same. Its also happens in painting. We see scale done differently and highlighting different aspects of the body. Just by the clothes we wear can deceive people. It is our nature to perceive people.
What is a token? Looking at the definition of token, there are several different meanings and interpretation of the word. However, I believe this article is referring it to be a indication of evidence or proof. So the token is referred to as a valued token for their child. I do like how the hospital allowed the mom to leave a token so that they could be reunited with their child. A token has to be something of value to the mom or a person now, it is something unique that has value to the person.
The two architectures that I picked as inspiration is African and Post Modern architecture. I wanted the piece to be simple and very clean. The rounded piece is foam core that I scored to get the curve was meant to be a drastic curve. It is to complement the straight edges of the balsa wood and also the string. The rounded triangles that are coming out of the rounded foam core is to represent the African architecture. The scotch tape that is hanging off the bottom, is also sharp clean edges but the tan color of it, is linked to the African architecture. A lot of the African architecture is very natural and earthy, whereas, the post modern is very clean and sharp. Overall, I am very pleased with how this piece come out and when playing with the positioning of lights the fishing line can create some very cool shadows on the wall.
The first three images are African Architecture and second architecture is Egyptian.

Camera: The camera goes along with soccer. I have a younger sister who also plays soccer. So going to her games and cheering her on, I wanted to capture the moments of the game. Action photography is probably by far my favorite type of photography and getting an amazing action shot that sums up the player in one photo. Disney name tag: Who doesn't love Disney?
