After working on my photography project, this series was sort of a sigh of relief. My favorite type of photographs usually capture the image of something nice or quant that I otherwise would not have seen. Most of the pictures in this body of work are of nature or have animals in them. Animals can be particularly challenging to photograph, especially rabbits that instinctually run away from oncoming large animals such as photographers. They don't pose, their movements are unpredictable, they are difficult to find, and you can't just go back and take more pictures.
I've been working most of the semester on taking pictures of a place that is not exactly picturesque and is heavy with social and environmental issues. There's a time and place for multiple layers of meaning and context and analysis and connotation, but sometimes it's nice to just look at some pretty pictures.
