Illuminating the Lonely

This picture was taken on the night of a July 4th Fair show. As I went to photograph people on the rooftop and see the lighting of the rooftops and the fireworks setting off I was drawn to this photo. Amidst the crowd, one person was sitting alone on the rooftop next to the top of a tree in front of this large show. I enjoyed the detail of the background with strong lighting contrasted against the dark foreground of the person and tree. The silhouette of the girl alone contrasts with the fun life of the fireworks. The photo represents watching a bright and spectacular firework show of the joy and frenzy of life, but staying in the dark and feeling powerless and alone to make an impact or influence your own life. I wondered if she would go home after this or continue to wander around the rooftop.

Creativity is the ability of an individual to see and express how they look at the world. Exploring and expressing creativity impacts my artistry. Creativity can unite people together but also defines themselves as unique to each other. Photography is another form of how to translate creativity with a medium.
