Apollo Orange Moon (Single)
DESCRIPTION
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” This photograph demonstrates a minimalist approach to a unique perspective utilizing macro photography, fruit, and miniature figures. The challenge of this project was to see past everyday items and connect with your inner child. As a child, I remember my parents describing the great historical event of the first human to step onto the moon. I used to envision being one of the Apollo 11 astronauts and placing the U.S. flag on the moon. My macro photography captures an orange in a fun and compelling manner, which, in turn, will hopefully put a smile on your face and allow your imagination to run wild.
