#11____Memory of a Place:
The place in my memory would be a zen temple i visited in the past summer. I do have a couple of photos of the small temple. It was located in a very quiet and peaceful bamboo forest near Hikone. There was a lot of beautiful green moss on the stone bricks on the road. i would like to photograph the sunlight shining through the bamboo leaves onto the moss, just to make the photo to express the sense of peace and "zen". It would look green and cool in the summer. I guess it would still look the same for me today. I loved spending an afternoon lying down on the bamboo sheet and listening to the sound of the wind passing through the forest. I'd like to sit or lie down on the grass or on the stone stairs. There might be an old monk sweeping the leaves on the floor. It should be very very green~. I'd like to have a company or two, but we are not going to talk with each other. we're just going to sit together, and meditate on our own.
#12____Memory of a Photograph:
My favorite photo was taken with my grandma 20 years ago. It was a snap shot. I was standing beside her making faces, and my grandma cracked up. She was laughing. The facial expressions of us were very very natural and funny. It was a very very memorable moment for both of us. After 20 years, I am now in the US, and my grandma still lives in the same place where we took the photo. If i could do something to change the photo I would probably add more contrast to the foreground and also change the depth of field, since the old picture showed too much distracting detail of the background, like buildings and trees. If i took a picture with my grandma today, we are definitely going to look very different. However the emotion will be the same. Family time, priceless smiles.

#13____Human-Made Space:
Since I don't really understand the concept of "topographics" I guess if you wanted to create a new "land art", and if I could have enough time for this project, i would love to plant a bunch of cherry trees and make their branches and trunks intertwine. I would love to document how the trees grew into each other and the interesting cherry blossom. The point of this project is to document something so natural but at the same time so artificial.
#14____Unknown vs. Familiar Space:
In my opinion, the familiar place should be visited by a lot of people and there should be a lot of human-made things around, or even there were a lot of people. So if i am going to photograph this familiar place, i would place my focus on something small, like a bicycle leaning against the wall on the side walk. By using small depth of field, the landmark will probably be a blur background which still could be recognized but the focus would be on the small things. I would love to show the familiar place in another perspective, especially an indirect perspective. For the unfamiliar place I guess i would use a smaller aperture in order to get a larger depth of field. Since it's a place that hasn't been touched by humans, the photo must reveal as much information as possible. My focus will be on the main landmark.

In this creation I would love to try to use slow shutter speed to try to capture a study and then move the camera outside. The image may show that a desk in the woods. In the past I was a very studious person and I spent most of my time in the library studying. But now I tend to be more outdoor and enjoy my time with friends.
