This week's assignment was to photograph beauty; whatever that meant to us. One of the two photos had to be of a person or animal, and one had to be of an inanimate object.
Beauty: living thing
This is a red panda at the Milwaukee County Zoo. My first bachelors degree was in zoology, so I have a strong love for animals, and I find this one particularly beautiful. The red panda is not out of it's enclosure very often, as it is quite temperature sensitive, and when it climbs this particular tree, there is no glass impeding the view, which made it ideal for photographing a zoo animal. My favorite part about this particular photograph is that if one looks very close, you will see that the panda is licking it's nose. I used this particular cropping because the tree on the right makes a nice natural framing of the photograph, and the long shape mimics the panda's body as well.
Beauty: Inanimate object
These grasses, located on the Carroll University campus, against the gradient blue sky, represent my idea; the interplay of humans with nature in its element.
