Me and my beer.
Martin Luther once said “Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!” When you talk about the history about mankind I’m sure that beer is not in that train of though. I will be writing a describing a personal photograph that is meaningful and explains the physical characteristics. Major parts of the photograph will be discussed as well where this photograph’s was and the sentimental value.
The photograph that I will be using is one of myself inside of an enormous bathtub filled with mouth-watering Czech beer awhile I’m drinking a cold beer. I went to beer spa in a small town in Czech Republic. The foam from the beer acted like a great comfy blanket covering my whole body. When the heat from the hot beer touched my skin you could see the look of happiness and relax in my face. I keep this photograph close and where i can see it every day, as a screen saver on my cell phone. I will look back at this photograph when I feel sad or low, and as soon I look at it my mood start changing for the better.

I always reply with the same answer every time, for me that was a moment of pure euphoria. I would say it was like that hour stood still in time, and for the first time in a very long time I had peace of mind. Having the photograph nearby brings me hope and something to look forward to that maybe one day I can go back and try to have sense of contentment. To most people see some strange man sitting in a tub full beer and do not understand the significance of the joy that brings me. I would never in a million years would i though it was possible to do something like that. In my mind I was thinking you had to be a millionaire. In our society we live in now, it is difficult to relate to photograph. The reason is due to technology makes it simply and takes away the real meaning of

    In a world of digitally edited photography and Photoshop masters, Polaroid pictures have once more become a trend. The instantaneous image of life unabridged appeals because it refuses to portray life through any rose-colored or edited lens, instead allowing memory to appreciate the sanctity of returning to a moment lost. However, through this nostalgia, the brain crops and edits the photograph just as one would on a computer, freezing the moment in memory as better, brighter, and more beautiful than it ever was in life. E. B. White reflects upon this phenomenon in his memoir “Once More to the Lake,” elaborating upon the nature of time, memory, and the human’s perception of reality. Through a heartfelt story about his experience at a lake with…

    In today’s digital world, photographs are commonly described with rudimentary adjectives such as pretty, beautiful, or other well used terms to depict how they appeal to the viewer. Years ago, when the world appeared to spin a tad slower and life looked as if it were a little less complicated, people had more of an opportunity to look around and not only see, but feel the beauty of Mother Nature. One better known photographer of this time who portrayed not only beauty, but also emotion in his imagery was Ansel Adams. Adams was quoted saying, “A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.” Upon viewing the miraculous work of Ansel Adams, I discovered his statement to be true.…

    The Chinese proverb, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, is routinely used when glancing through a group of images. The main purpose of pictures is to forever preserve the moment in time and look back to appreciate the memory. The purpose of preservation can be found through a collection of images taken at a family gathering, or pictures at a museum event, so people could understand what it was like during that time in history. What if the photographer was trying to capture more than a thousand words; what if they were trying to capture the face of a struggling nation? Photographer Steve McCurry was able to successfully capture the powerful image of “Afghan Girl”, and showcase the struggle and fear instilled into a woman who was forced to…

    How to construct the subject’s identity in tableau photography? Since photography was invented in 1839, it quickly became the most influential medium as it is more connected with the reality compared to painting. It provides us a new way to explore questions of ourselves in relation to the world. As a dominant theme of photography, portrait photography practiced by many artists as the diversity of the subject matter. Like Andy Grundberg (1999, p.200) indicated that, “More than any other kind of images today, portraiture photographs seem able to speck to us directly, without any interference from our accumulated cultural baggage.”…

    “Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.” – Berenice Abbott A photograph displays more to the human eye than expected; on “looking” at photographs we are captivated in an artistic narrative formed – it’s said that we are engaged in personal creation that is not provided with given endings, reflections are modified, something’s are altered, memories are re-defined, and “new” memories and expectations develop. With this being said, Dorothea Lange and David Moore are photographers whose work speaks in depth of societies past, present and future.…

In On Photography, Susan Sontag gives the following example; “Those ghostly traces, photographs, supply the token presence of the dispersed relatives” (293). Although this may be true the majority of the time, it is not always the case.…

    Everyone has their fair share of drinking stories and they all vary from funny, sad, or stupid. My first time drinking with friends is a good mix of all three. We can blame it all we want on being young and stupid but looking back I think of it as a good time and an opportunity to learn a lesson. Almost everyone there dealt with the repercussions of our actions and somewhat regret what we did. Deciding to drink after our junior homecoming led to us getting suspended from sports for a week, two months of counselor meetings, and a bad reputation for a while if not the rest of high school.…
