For this photo challenge we were to photograph nothing, so what does that imply well I guess that is the riddle we needed to solve. I am sure that everyone went about the challenge differently, for me I tried to photograph nothing in a couple different ways and the above photograph is the image I chose to show. This I guess could be a considered a photograph of an empty street, but isn’t an empty street “nothing”? The funny thing is that everything you take a picture of nothing you take a picture of something.
Take this photograph for instance it is just an empty street and nothing is the focal point of the image yet if you look closely you can see different points of interest within the image. If you look in the background you can see the light of the Luxor shining into the heavens. This was a longer exposure as well and you can see a little distortion alone the right or street side of the photo from someone walking through the frame leaving a shadowy streak. The patterns that the light shining through the tree over head also add an interesting element. So even though the image is not of one thing in particular it has some interesting elements within it for being an image of nothing in particular. So in my opinion it is impossible to take a picture of nothing without taking a picture of something. Yet sometimes the images that do not contain a particular focal point can still have make an impact and be a very interesting photo to look at.
