Mountain ViewBy Brenda Ramirez When I was at the Getty Villa for a school project we were looking at Abelardo Morell's photography and we were out looking for things like Abe's photography. My eye caught the different color and perspective about what was in the fountain. The fountain was in the garden. The maze was inside the fountain and the coins were shining from the sunlight. The day started out cloudy but then the sun came out and that's why it caught my eye. In the fountain it looked shiny and you could see them in the water, in the picture it looks different because the coins don’t really show that they are coins. You can see the pattern from the ground because of the water. I realized it looks like one of Abe's photos, Map of North America: it's about a map and water is on top. That is how I felt my photograph was like. I imagined it looking different from how I took the picture, like the water showing more. What surprised me is that more color and pattern came out in the photography. The photograph has pattern in the shiny things and rhythm of the lights and texture because everything has texture. I used it for texture and pattern and point of view. I named it "Mountain View" because if you get the picture from far it looks like a mountain and houses were there, even though it's really coins inside the water fountain.
