AS Level Art & Design Photographs: Inception

This is a blog dedicated to my artistic inspirations which I have personally photographed since Monday 9th September, I hope that anyone and everyone who visits this blog appreciates some of the nature/any other subject matter and thus becomes inspired to create there own work.
 The photograph (right) was captured using an iPhone 5 on Monday 9th September 2013 during my first AS Level Art & Design class at King Edward VI College, Nuneaton.
    I came across this dying leaf balancing inside the colleges back gate which was opened up to reveal an historical burial site, of which I and fellow students were given the opportunity to capture numerous view points of whatever caught our eyes as inspiration. Inspiration which could potentially help give us ideas and develop our own concepts for our future artwork.
    This was my lucky thirteenth photograph on Monday morning and what strikes me about this shot is that the man-made possibly factory produced metal gate, seems to have been designed to resemble natures curvature whilst seemingly appearing to curve around the leaf, and by doing so, it is destroying it, causing it do die.

    The photo to the left, on the other hand, is of what appears to me to be some sort of pink coloured paint which has dripped down the side of an old wall covered in green moss, of which was the subject I found directly after I had taken the first photo. What I really admire about this piece is the contrast between the green moss and the paint as well as due to lighting, the pink paint appears to become darker in tone as it drips down the wall. The burst of white light coming through from the lower left corner of the photograph is due to myself blocking the rest of the light coming from behind. I also think that the dripping paint could also resemble a gunshot wound to the heart, maybe this was the artists intention? Or maybe not.
