Brazil is so fun! And amazing trip needs amazing photos!!!
It is time to relax and I decide to post a post which is not sooooo “academic”! I believe every photo has its reason, people would take them because they get a special moments and experience. And I find out that I have a lot of wonderful pictures in my camera, but it is pity that I cannot show most of them.
This is my favorite Photo. It was taken at the building in the Flamengo Park. I flipped it because the reflection is so perfect that Jess’s shadow becomes the real person and her real body becomes the shadow. It looks like Jess was looking into the ground! I like it so much, do you?
This is Brent, I flipped it too and made it looks like two same Brents are looking at each other.
Haha, this is Wiatt, see, there is a bunny on his shirt~~ Cute, is it?
Guess! Whose shadows?~~
It seems like Troy is in a mirror~~
My picture before Niemeyer’s building. Now I am a big fan of him~
I am in Maracana Stadium!! Unforgettable memory!!!
I think everyone got their own experience in Brazil. Please share them!
I appreciate the pictures of you and your classmates adding to the blog. You have a great eye for details. I’m glad I have exposed a new group of students to Niemeyer and Roberto Burle Marx, two fantastic designers an we were fortunate to visit a good number of sites designed by these two individuals. The shadow picture reminds me of walking up to daycare with my little ones in the morning and “racing our shadows” up to the front door. It is a reminder of being in the present to acknowledge our bodies and relationship to the sun. Burle Marx takes this one step further in this section of Flamengo Park he designed as noticed with the flat elongated shadows in contrast to the bulbous rocks as a layering of planes and volumes. I hope that the various Burle Marx landscapes we visited will inspire your future designs as a landscape architecture. I know I am invigorated and still absorbing all his fantastic designs.
Brent looks like hes got wings… AWESOME PIC AND PHOTOSHOP!
