MAIJA AND ANSEL ADAMS

This year our elementary school hosted a perception fair for all the third through fifth graders.  As much as I hate these projects, because of all the extra work it causes, the results are always delightful.
 
 
 
Maija chose to study Ansel Adams and his photography, and how it related to perception.  She studies his photos, and then took some photos of her own from outside in the nature.
 
Here are some of her shots.
 
 
 
 
 
Here she shows how you look at the flower and you see a flower
 
 
...but once you study it closer you see much more than just a flower...you see the detail...and that is how she tied her study of Ansel Adams and his photography to perception...
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
But this is my absolute favorite.  She showed Ansel Adams at work....
 
 
And then she showed herself at work.
 
 
SO AWESOME!
