Doug and Mike Starn

I am not really sure why I am attracted to this photograph so much, but the tree seems so distorted, almost humanlike. All the tree branches completely fill out the frame of the photograph as well, so white space is limited but it goes well with the branches.

This is probably one of my favorite photographs I have seen all semester. The city line in the background is gorgeous, and it does draw my eye, but the bamboo sculpture is so random.

This picture makes me wonder how terrified the person walking along the bamboo structure was. She seems so far up with the city in the distance. There is so much going on but for some reason the picture fits together.

I love how the Starns' construct for their photographs. The amount of bamboo poles in this picture is insane. The bright sky really illuminates the bamboo, and I wish I could be up there walking along the pathways, as though I was in the sky.

This photograph was in the light manipulation collection. I think that entire concept is fascinating. The leaf completely stands out against the pure white background.

I do not fully understand how they managed this art piece, but I find it really interesting. I like the way the Starns' make trees seem so appealing. It is almost as though they blew up certain sections of the tree to highlight different points.
