Memory Suicide Taking photographs is a hobby for some people, a career of others, or an absolute disaster for a few. They capture the moments and memories people want to remember and display for time to tell. However, there is always an opposite reaction which, for this, is deleting those photographs. The memories in the mind are extremely difficult to delete unlike the ease of pressing a button on a camera. Erasing the ugly, unfocused, and poor captured photographs from our mind is an…

of a moment in time and transcend to a "deeper level" of artistic understanding. Momaday makes these claims when discussing the work of renowned photographer Edward S. Curtis, who spent his lifetime perfecting the art of photography while capturing images of Native Americans. Upon examining Edward S. Curtis's photographic work and the effects of photography on American culture, one can clearly see that Momaday's claims of photography carrying not just a medial…

People say pictures are worth a thousand words, and I would definitely agree. A picture can tell a story without actually saying anything, and when I look at the picture I chose to write my visual analysis on, so many memories and emotions come to mind. At first glance, the picture just looks like an action shot of a volleyball player setting a ball to another volleyball plyer on the court, but when I look closely at, every detail brings back memories and emotions. To most people, the picture I…

‘darkened room.’ It uses a lens and a sequence of mirrors to project an image of the surrounding landscape onto a viewing surface.” (http://www.scopex.co.za/files/Camera-obscura-ML-1207.pdf) “The principle of optics that makes it work was light travels in a straight line and when some of the rays reflected form a bright subject passes through a small hole in thin material they do not scatter but cross and reform as an upside down image on a flat surface held parallel to the hole.”…

Throughout this reading, Atkins focuses on Frans Hals’s artistic execution of roughness in his art pieces. He points out that Hals’s artistic virtuosity is displayed through the sketchiness of his painting, the connection between him and previous famed painters, and the unique method he employed. Further, Atkins argues that many of Hals’s sitters are “virtuosi-liefhebbers”, meaning knowledgeable lovers of art. Through Hals’s rough brushwork, his sitters were shown refined and cultured. Also,…

There are different geometric shapes in this piece. The piece had simple geometric shapes, such as spheres, cones, rectangle and cylinders. The pieces looks focal due to the use of so many distinct geometric shapes and colors within it. The use of lines, colors, and shapes within this piece is what really appealed to me. In this painting, the use of lines played a vital role in the positioning of the man and woman within the piece. There were colors like gray, brown, black and mustard within the…

The photographer divided the subjects into two subgroups. One is about blurry and hurried pedestrians in the streets, and the other is about a young girl in the front . The blurriness of the pedestrian may show their busy life pace of the night. But the young girl, who is the main figure, looks calm and energetic. Her poise forms a strong contrast to the pedestrians, and she becomes the focal point in the picture. This street snap compares the mediocre culture of young and the public. The…

While around a cow are a group of well looking men, they all dressed in suits and wearing glasses, look like they are watching and recording a cow’s performance. It can be said a cow that the men are watching is a “real” cow and the…

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…
