Putting the relevant equation in the image

I want to create images that depict how math builds or creates a certain landmark, building, or statistic.

For example, look at this image of an MLB players batting average

If i took an picture of a statistic I could use the equation of how to calculate that statistic and place the equation somewhere in the photo.

In this image i would put the equation how to calculate batting average: Avg. = Hits/At Bats

The Next Step

After the critique of our Concentration's in class I took not from other opinions. Yes my pictures displayed math, but the images were almost too obvious that math was used. When I shoot next I want to create images that portray math, but I want to make where the math is shown less obvious. The math needs to be less obvious and even more abstract than the door handle image.


You may think that this is just string, but the patterns required to make this shape the person is holding involves mathematical ideas. There was a certain way to do this, and patterns is what math is about. I also want to make images that show possible equations used in the subjects construction. Perhaps I could use the idea of putting the specific formula on each specific image.
(feedback pleaseee)

Math Is Everywhere

 
 
This week I displayed photos that I created to try and depict how math is everywhere in the sense that we use it for everything. Construction, patterns in our day, and things that require numbers to understand something (measurements) are what I attempted to portray.



In this photo I tried to take an abstract route in the sense of eximplifying math; the key has a certain shape and pattern to fit in the door. There is a formula required to make this key fit and function.

Math



I think it would be cool to have math or give examples of math. Whether it's showing a view of someone's homework, angles that we overlook because they are normal. Math can even be depicted in a Baseball photo. There areall these formulas floating around the world which were created to help us define the magnitude or depth of something and we don't notice them because math is literally everywhere.

Color Is Key

 This image of a church gives you a warm homie feeling. You feel invited to the church, it's welcoming.
This image of the church is in black and white. For some reason since this is a church, when the color is taken out it seems a bit evil. I feel like you would find more than God at this place. It's a little creepy.
 
I want to possibly concentrate on taking asthetically pleasing images that are positive and with color. Then I want to depict how without the color the image can feel sad, or upsetting. Without the color I want to show a negative perspective or overall negative feeling.

Landscape 4 Concentration

One of my ideas is to create landscape images that are ofcourse appealing to the eye, but I want more to come from the image. I want it to display a certain feeling or mood when you see it. Whether I want to represent an area with an image that symbolizes the place perfectly or whether im trying to make you feel a certain way has not been decided yet. Like this would be good to show if I wanted to make you feel Frightened, Ecstatic, or even Blue :/.
