Leading Lines

Artist's Statement:

The assignment for this project was to take photos centered around the visual technique of leading lines. We were to make 2-4 prints for this assignment, chosen from the roll of film that we were given to take photos.

I chose to use 2 photos with lines diagonally across them to have the eye follow it across the page, and chose another with lines leading deeper into the photo so that the eye searches deeping and lingers longer.

For the railroad photo, I had to make another print since the first turned out too dark due to over exposure and too long in the developer. I learned from my mistakes however, and since then have started to reach for the print to take out of the developer 10 seconds before it reaches a minute.
