Before beginning my first project in photo, I looked at Harrison's images after telling Anne that I was interested in doing something related to nature. I really like the uniqueness of his images and how they seem to break the boundaries of man relating to nature. My favorite image by far is of a man who is holding out his arm, and there are small trees growing out of it. The background of the photo seems to be a windowpane with rain pouring down it, which adds to the effectiveness of the image. I like that it is hard to read the man's emotion in the image, which lets the viewer have their own unique opinion about the photo. I also like his images with bees. There is one image of a man who is holding a swarm of bees with some of them flying around him. This image brings man and nature together in an odd way, as people wouldn't usually enjoy holding a bee's nest in their hands. The man in the photo appears unmoved by the bees, like he is acknowledging them but does not care that they are there. His images make you think about the ways that man and nature interact and blend the boundaries between the two.
