Connecting essay - 1

This first photo is one that I have found on the internet, it is a photo taken by Michael Bosanko a well known light drawing photographer.  It clearly shows colour through the use of the different coloured lights used within the light drawing near the bottom of the frame.  Line and shape are also shown through the light drawing with the Ying Yang (a circle) at the front of the drawing.

This second photo is one that I myself have taken colour is shown through the bright red line of the light drawing but also the yellow orange that can be seen through the trees in the background and the faint green and brown of the ground.  Line is also shown through the drawing that I have done as well as a few fairly wonky and squashed circles and rounded triangles.

Bosanko's and my photo relate through the fact that both of them are of the same thing, light drawing, but they also have connections through the formal elements that they portray; colour, line and shape all shown through their respective light drawings and although the compositions differ quite drastically I feel that they both give off a very similar other worldly feel of something that shouldn't logically be there but still fits.
