I came across this tractor at Moore State Park in Paxton, MA. If anyone hasn't been there, it is definitely worth the drive. I went there a lot over the summer when I was stressed out from work or needed to get out of the city for a bit. Plus, there is a really cool hill/field that is so wide open you feel like you are on top of the world when you are up there. So that is the habitat for this tractor. What really made me decide to shoot the picture was the way the orange tree in the background perfectly matched the orange on the tractor. Then I zoomed out to force myself to get close to the subject (i may be hearing that in my dreams now haha) and took the picture from about two feet away. This method definitely works though, and I am very happy with how this picture came out.
This picture was taken at the gathering of Worcester artists called StART on the Street which took place on Sept. 21. I was looking to capture people's reactions to the cardboard box city that had been constructed there. This mother and her son seemed to be standing in awe, but still had walked into the middle of the chaos. That was the best part about the cardboard boxes; the feeling that they were accessible and could be picked up and moved around, but still had a sense of art to them. I only wish that the stores' banners hadn't been caught in the frame, but cropping would have cut off the top of the cardboard tower as well.
