The autumn season has always been one of my favorites. As someone who’s life revolves much around art and design, I tend to view this season in particular as one for an opportunity to be inspired and connect with nature.
From the change in color of the tree leaves to those of yellows, reds, and browns, to catching glimpses of animals preparing for the winter to come, fall is truly a site to see.
I had spent an afternoon in Central Park, Manhattan to capture photos, and had taken the time to edit them as well to emphasize the colors of fall, and bring focus to interesting subjects in my photos. For example, the photo I’ve taken of the lone musician playing center stage to the statue of the Angel of the Waters (Bethesda Fountain), seems to have an untold story behind it. Is this angel dear to their life? How often do they come and play here? Is it a song for this angel? Only they may know.
As you can see in the raw unedited photo of this, there were many people around, in addition to the trees looking slightly dull. The other onlookers made the photo feel rather busy, and I wanted to bring more attention to the musician playing. By doing so, makes the story behind this photo stronger, and demonstrates the life that the musician’s music is brings into the environment around them.
