Sole Survivor
Artist Statement
This group of images was the perfect picture for the virus shutdown with a lot of restaurants closed and shortage to get food from there. Obviously grocery stores are still an option. I used the portrait mode in these pictures to try to focus on the pizza. I set the slice of pizza in the center of the pizza box to show all the space around it. The lines on the box were nicely defined to show where the slices would line up. I also like how there were crumbs around the box and the box didn't seem new. Now I know technically a still life should be multiple objects together but I thought this shared a theme of what some families are going through right now and I wanted to capture the idea of it.
One Red, Eight Blue, and Seven Purple

This picture is one of the snacks I usually have before I go to practice or before tournaments. But now since nothing of that sort is really going on there is simply no shortage of these snacks. This is the remainder of one box out of three. I stacked them up by color and put the last red one on top to look visually pleasing. It also would have been nice if each stack alternated between purple and blue all the way to the top. The small difference you may not see in the images is the the second and third images have the stacks of bars all facing down meaning the nutrition facts are facing up, however the first image have the stacked up bars facing up. I found it ironic that this picture showed a large number of food items unlike the other image at a time like this. But otherwise I enjoyed taking the pictures and exploring with the angles.
