"From Smartphones to Museum Walls" Lens Article


My favorite photo from the Lens blog post "From Smartphones to Museum Walls" is slide two of sixteen by Eric Ward in Ohio. The photo shows five people in five different hammocks attached to two trees, all one on top of another. Surrounding the people is a sea of trees. I like this photo because, first off, it gives off a happy vibe. The people in the hammocks are laughing, and the situations itself is so unusual it brings about a feeling of amusement. Secondly, colors of the hammocks (blue and red) allow them to stand out among the brown background of trees and dirt. Lastly, the arrangement of the hammocks is so bizarre that it initiates a sense of curiosity in the audience, wondering how the people shown in the photo were even able to set up their hammocks that way.
