“Look into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” said Albert Einstein. I vehemently agree with his wise words, because especially in today’s times of our narcissistic and selfie obsessed society there is no appreciation of our beautiful natural world. The seemingly endless green fields, the blinding blue skies, and so much more.
I figured that I’d capture the essence of nature by looking at a small part of it. Although it would show only a fragment of its allure, it would be adequate enough I think to get that opening message across as well as hopefully making people aware that their phones aren’t the only thing that exist in this world.
I propose going to a park located in inner city Dublin – Stephen’s Green. There I will take photographs which will subsequently form the collection of work to illustrate some of our natural environment. I will head out to Stephen’s Green at first just to see what’s exactly there. What will I experience? What’s changing? What’s permanent? The main problem associated with this area is the season we are in now. Obviously due to autumn, the trees are largely leafless and any potential wildlife that could be found there will soon go to hibernate in winter.
I’ve spent three months making preparations for this event. I didn’t to ask for permission from local authorities as this is a public place. I have my camera ready and all that remains is to do this. This work will ultimately make up an album. Its target demographic is supposed to be for people of around my age, not just for individuals who share a common interest in nature but also for those who don’t, because with this I hope they will develop that interest.
Firstly, I will visit the river in this recreational centre to see which animals are found there and then photograph them and it will be easy as they won’t have any objections to it. Secondly, I will photograph the interior of the park such as the trees and even the historical monuments there like statues. Thirdly, I will come back another time to see what has changed and what has not changed in the area over the winter period. The themes of nature and appreciation are well showcased in the Stephen’s Green park and it’s something I desire to bring light to as I try to stand from the rest of the crowd today.
