Scavenger Hunt

The theme for the three photos is awareness. In each successive picture, the subject of the photo is (presumingly) more aware that a photo is being taken of him. Regardless of the camera though, the subject does not look at the camera, but instead continues what he is doing.

The first photo is taken behind Newman Towers in the woods. The subject is completely unaware that a picture is being taken and is walking away from the camera. Since the first shot is a wide shot, the best place for this is in an outdoor location. The trees seem limitless as do the rocks, giving off the sense that the picture continues beyond what is shown. The subject walking away from the shot also gives a sense of continuation.

In the second picture, the subject is standing, yet is most likely aware that a picture is being taken of him. Rather than moving away from the camera, the subject is standing still, not attempting to leave the frame or come closer to the camera. As in the first picture, the subject has no interest in the camera and instead continues to do what he is doing.

In the final shot, the close up, the subject almost definitely is aware of the camera. Since he is in the middle of a pool shot though, he keeps his focus on the ball that he is attempting to hit into the pocket. The red ball is extremely close to the camera, almost making it the subject rather than Mark, who is about to hit the ball. The yellow and green balls are there to help fill the picture and add another element to it.
