I need help from a creative photographer that has read mice and men?

mice and men is a book by john steinbeck


im going to take a picture of the description in the first chapter of the book


can you help me set the stage for it?


im actually having trouble picturing it or drawing it out


it explains a hilside and all this green, then white sycamores and a green hillside bank, but then all of a sudden theres sand. where does the sand go? how does all of this fit in just one frame


anyone really good or possibly have a picture or something like it for ideas?I need help from a creative photographer that has read mice and men?
I havent read that book but from what you describe, I can see a really good photograph! Here in New Zealand, there are scene's like that because there are a lot of farmlands merging into the beach. I think I would do this photograph digitally though. Capture the scenes you want and then merge them together in Photoshop. Up to you whether you want to sand to continue off the frame at the bottom or left or right.I need help from a creative photographer that has read mice and men?
Both the begining and the ending of the book happen on the banks of the Salinas River, and in the begining George and Lennie dream of the farm where Lennie can tend to rabbits. They talk as if all the problems are behind them, whereas their problems are really all in front of them.





If you want to express this idea visually, you have to include elements like the rabbit, the farm and somehow put them out of reach or not quite as accessible as they should be.





As most artistic projects go, you may need a series of photos to make this work. You also need to decide if this project is a tribute to 'Of Mice and Men' or commentary on it. What do you want to say about that work?
