the enlightened one: jesse leonard
For my project, I had chosen the theme of reaching a higher consciousness of knowledge and depth. In my original brainstorming for my photos, I had thought of doing several multiple exposures. However, I could clearly not do that with a cell phone. So instead, I followed the story of Siddhartha Gautama becoming the buddha. It is said after his period of suffering, he was sitting under a tree when a warm beam of sunlight shone on his face, and he became enlightened. So I attempted to capture this moment in this image, for I could not do any sort of advance techniques with a cell phone. However, I do believe I successfully captured symmetry on either side of the figure and the tree and the splotches of sunlight on the ground create nice repetition, along with the image as a whole having a nice sense of unity. While the image is not particularly interesting, I believe it was nicely exposed and technically acceptable.
