I took more shots today of the deforestation project on our campus. My main focus was to simply practice photojournalistic techniques. Learning to most effectively portray a message in an impactful way. That was the drive behind my compositions, exposure, views, etc. The removal of a sensitive environment on my campus is a small one compared to what goes on in some parts of the world, but you can still get a feel of how much a landscape can change in just a couple of days. From a luch green forest full of life and fresh air, to a motionless dry desert of treaded mud and roots. This small series is just to capture the essence of a situation in the most effective manner, so I hope that it is successful.

In this shot I am focusing on the tattered landscape. It resembles scenes of the shattered streets of Hiroshima or Nagasaki after the A-bombs of WWII. Of course, I understand this is not quite comparable. Again this is simply to connect a situation with the possible emotional concept that some connect with it. This may not have been someones home, but it was some'things', destoryed. I use color in this shot to separate the 'post-deforestation' land in the foreground, from the as of yet untouched forest in the background.

Full view, please!
