My first image, which conveyed detail, depicted a banquet being served on the Dean Dome basketball court. I chose to use this image for several reasons, including its repetitiveness, unique color, and relative uniformity. Although many of my classmates chose to photograph minute details of a single subject, such as a piece of wood or stream of running water, I found that this photograph was more expressive of detail in a much larger subject. When taking this photo, I intended to capture as many…

A snapshot memoir is factual stories about someone’s life that is somewhat important to his or her life. I have many snapshot memoirs myself, however I have one snapshot memoir that is most important out of the rest. My most important snapshot memoir was when it was my first orchestra performance to the elderly and the young at the Sunrise Senior Living center. Whenever I think of the memory I can hear the tunes of the national anthem and God Bless America coming from the the wooden boards of…

The Innocent Eye Test was an oil painting done by Mark Tansey in 1981 and is currently being exhibited at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. In this painting, there is a cow standing and observing a picture of the other cows. While around a cow is a group of good looking men, they are all dressed in suits and wearing glasses. They are watching and recording the “real” cow’s reaction to revealing the “non-real” cows in painting. Why is it that the artist lets a cow observe the painting…

times to document their progress in the Crimean War through the use of photography. Ever since then, war photographs have been and will continue to be used as a way to evoke a certain reaction from the public.

to carte de visite, introduced by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri in 1854. Disdéri’s camera had multiple lenses, therefore he could capture eight different poses on one large negative. This negative would be printed on albumen paper, and then the images were cut apart and glued to calling-card-size…

traditional lighting associated with photgraphy with the lighting of tv screens. Then I continue following an image by also removing the figure as the main portion of the image , to make the figure less important. Finally, when i capture these images I use long exposures which creates a stillness of the image, except for the human figure, which creates this blurr and motion in the image. My images are a series of self portriats. I spend time setting up the frame and what object i want to be…

My reason behind taking this photo came from my passion for creating art. Art often puts me in a feel-good mood no matter what I may be going through, and that includes photography. Ever since I was a little, I loved to draw. It wasn't the final drawing or masterpiece that I loved, it was the process of drawing. I began my journey of an artist many years ago in hopes of one day becoming an animator for Pixar studios. I see myself as an artist who wants to share my vision with the world, not to…

This exhibit presented categories of images of people who share their lives through a glance, gaze or gesture, with or without their knowledge. These type of photographs give a greater understanding about how we see others and ourselves. No matter what the portrait contains, the…

There was not a single piece of leather furniture that lacked an intricate map I had scratched into it with my grubby four-year-old fingernails. Every wall and flat surface had Sharpie murals of vast cotton candy skies and family trees made of dogs as soon as I discovered how to hold a pen. My parents never tried to stifle my creativity. They urged me to pursue artistry and offered every tool conceivable to develop my creative skills. Growing up hearing my father jam out on guitar and watching…
