Read, Make, and Discuss 2

" . . . our decisions about where to live or work can have a significant if often unsuspected impact on our well-being, whether through subtle means, such as lighting and plants, or more directly, through agents such as allergens or pollutants" (Gallagher, The Power of Place, 19).



I produced these photographs in reaction to the quote above. This quote reminded me why I decided to attend Flagler College and move to Florida. This move has had an impact on my overall mental health and well-being through the change in environment. These "subtle means, such as lighting and plants" have allowed me to become a happier person and more in tune with nature. For the photos I wanted to focus on composition using the rule of thirds.
