The Rest of the Photo 1 Prints, Fall 2013

These photos are larger than my last post, and they're some of my favorites. 

This is a photo of my ex-boyfriend holding flowers for me. He originally wrote the poem in this photo, by E. E. Cummings, on a small booklet for me. I printed the words onto the photo by writing on a clear plastic sheet with a Sharpie, and laying the sheet over the paper while exposing it. It took a lot of trial and error. This is the poem:

i carry your heart with me

e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

This is the final matted photo of the two pictures I posted earlier. Each photo is a picture of a sculpture outside of Kemper Auditorium. The bottom picture is the top picture with inverted color. 

The two outside photos are inverse pictures of the middle picture, which is a photo of grapefruits at Paresky Commons. 

This is a panoramic picture of the three pathways outside Paresky Commons. I took these pictures by setting a tripod in three different directions.
