The American Dream (Single)
DESCRIPTION
This photo was shot right outside of June Lake. The old wooden fence, combined with the lighting and clouds made this spot impossible to pass up. The sunlight already gave the scene a warm and welcoming hue, and I tried to enhance this by choosing the right composition. When taking this photo, I tried to use all of the distinctive elements to spark emotion in the viewer and make them feel like they had been to this place before; like it was home to them. I tried to capture an assuring and welcoming scene. In the process, I also tried to present the Great American Landscape and Country in its most true and pure form.
