through the walls
Throughout the week, I split my intent in my photography in half. At first, I didn't have a theme or idea as to how my photos would be connected, so I instead carried my camera waiting for a good composition. After time passed throughout the week though, I found a common thread through some of my favorites I had taken so far; there was a sense of indirectness between the subjects and my camera. Whether I chose to use a prominent foreground, or in many cases the subject's face isn't visible, I ended up dedicating the rest of the week to the style of "indirectness."

Their photos of the moon are reflected in a fountain, and while they stay with the theme of shooting a subject indirectly, the reason I have ten of them is purely because I didn't have 20 unique photos.
