Food is her comfort. When times get overwhelming food will always be there.

GREED

I get money, I get paper
I get girls, all different flavors
I buy Gucci, I buy Prada
I spend dollar after dollar

PRiDE

 

A-R-i-Z-O-N-A! When I decided on the word 'Pride' I wanted to look for something beyond the 'deadly sins', to a definiton that I feel in my everyday life. At an Arizona Football game, the feeling of pride was felt through the entire stadium, and the moments of joy and excitment that filled the stadium before kick-off I feel were captured in this photo from my seat in the Zona Zoo.

Lust

Photograph by : Eric X. Bracamonte

Desire, Want, Infatuation, Craving.......all characterizations of the sin Lust.  One of the
seven deadly sins that many people are familiar with.  When shooting this photograph, I wanted
to capture the essence of what lust is; the craving and desire for someone in a sexual and sensual
way.  I did not want to put faces or background in this photo for the purpose of wanting
all the the attention to be on the the contact being made between the two people.  The indentations
in the mans back and the closeness of the two bodies I believe shows the desire the woman
has for him.  I believe my interpretation of lust shown in this picture is an accurate portrayal of the
 sin in its raw form.

Envy

This photo was taken as a representation of the sin Envy.  Envy is unique compared to
the other sins in the sense that it has a color commonly associated with it; Green.  With that in
mind I wanted to create a photograph that represents someone feeling envious towards someone
or something (desire for the possessions or qualities of another), by using the eye as the direct link
to that feeling.  It worked out well since the common theme for these photos is black and white.  It
really helped to show the central theme of this particular photo, because it accentuates the color
of the eye.  

Sloth

Photograph by :  Eric X. Bracamonte

"Get your lazy a** up".  My interpretation of the sin Sloth.  It is obvious that this photograph
was staged.  I wanted to portray the different aspects of someone who commits the sin sloth,
someone who is lazy but takes it to the extreme.  I wanted to put a sense of time in the
photograph that would add to the viewers overall perception, so I added a giant clock showing
the time of past 3 in the afternoon.  The various objects and props were added to the photo merely
as a way to show the abundance of laziness.  Overall I think this representation of Sloth is very
accurate and demonstrates the book definition as well as my own interpretation very well.
