Job 1: Finding your muse
Michael Kan inspires me because all of his photographs are unique in their own way. All of his shots are interesting because of their style, content, point of view, and editing. I think Michael's work speaks to me because it shows the beauty of nature, wildlife and other cultures and each and every photograph very interesting. All of Michael's photo's were taken with either a full-frame digital Nikon SLR or a large format film camera.
Birds
This picture was amusing to me because it captures the motion of the bird landing in the water and that is something that is very difficult to capture. When I look at this photograph I feel free, hungry, and hot because the bird is either in search for a tasty treat or just needs to cool down a bit.
Landscape
This photograph is amazing to me because it depicts all the colors of the sunset also shows the colors reflecting on the water. I also like how Micheal edited this photo. Sunsets are my favorite thing to photograph so it gives me a sense of inspiration.
Flowers & Plants
This photograph shows simplicity and fill-in the frame. Although it is very simple, it is still beautiful and shows lots of details. When I look at this picture it makes me think of a cool summer breeze and smell you get when you walk through a garden full of flowers.
People & Portraits
This photograph is awesome to me because is shows a completely different culture and how different they dress compared to us. Also, if you look at the man in the photo...his facial expression makes you wonder what he is thinking. I like this picture because the blurred background directs your eyes straight at to the man and his unique look.
