For this Assignment I explored aspects of my own home and also submersed myself in the home of a culture I experienced for the first time on the island of Anguilla. I found there were many photographic opportunities within my own apartment and the historic aspect of my building allowed for a lot of cool shots. In Anguilla, most of the pictures I took were at a sea side bar called Banke Banks, where the owner, Banke Banks himself, actually lives. I also photographed some of natures creatures in their homes on the island to give a variety of definitions of the term home.
I chose the picture of my backgammon board because I feel it is an important part of my home away from home (my apartment at school) and my home in Connecticut. I grew up playing backgammon with my mom and dad and the game is a big part of my home and one of my favorite games. I don't think i'll ever own a home without a backgammon board in it, and i also thought the angle of the shot was very interesting.
The picture of the door and the white wall with the artwork on it was another one of my favorites because it shows my taste in art and i also thought the lighting in it was great and loved the light-pull dangling in the background against the white shower curtain. I also liked the contrast between the brown of the door and the white of the wall and the framing the art work does to the left side of the image.
I really liked the picture of the claw-foot bathtub. I think the bath/shower is a very important place in the home. It is where we either start our days or decompress after them. It is something we all have in our homes and I chose to photograph mine for this purpose and for the purpose because the claw foot makes it unique and interesting, especially against the tile floor.
