different. Her illustration of “The Boating Party” is an ironic piece of art that uses an outing by three people to speak for women’s rights. At first glance of the painting, “The Boating Party,” people would almost say that it is a happy image. In the image there is a man, woman, and child settled a boat. It can be assumed that they are a family going for an outing on a nice summer day. With the lake filling up at least half…

Professor Zig Jackson once said, “A camera is a very powerful tool.” Photography is the way in which you express something and show it to world. People see a camera just as a tool to take pictures, but cameras go beyond taking pictures, it puts into image what can’t be described in words. As many of us have heard before, a picture is worth a thousand words; this is exactly what I feel with Candy Cigarettes by Sally Mann and Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park by Diane Arbus. These two…

Objectifying both women and men with provocative images and deceptive expressions supply consumers a false idea of reality. PlayStation and Sony Computer Entertainment present a provocative image in its PS Vita advertisement that draws a reader’s…

pictures for a reason. That picture meant something to them. They wanted others to view it, therefore they posted it. Are they posting these pictures to convince others or themselves of who they are? In this generation digital images are more popular than printed images. For the most part every teenager and young adult has an Instagram and Facebook. On these social media sites the pictures one posts are trying…

In John Berger’s book Understanding a Photograph, he argues that there is a distinct discontinuity between an individual viewing a photo, and the actual photo. A picture solely preserves a single moment in time, and while they often act to tell a story, the medium cannot be fully interpreted without knowing the story that surrounds it. Although there is a definite connection between a photograph and the narrative that corresponds with it, the photo is only a visual aid for the story; it does not…

My Response to Ritchin and Balsamo. From the four reads of the week by Ritchin and Balsamo, my main takeaway from Ritchin was the advancement of digital photography and how it has made it easier for photographers to tell their story through imagery, plus the added effect that tells a false story and Balsamo the unconscious consequence of technological innovations on culture. “Photography, as we have known it, is both ending and enlarging, with an evolving medium hidden inside it as in a…

Though Susan Sontag claims in “Why We Take Pictures” that photography is a defense against anxiety and a tool of power by allowing an individual to control what the subject of the photograph is, thus controlling the environment. Since Sontag wrote her opinion, photography has evolved to be a more casual experience that documents daily life. Through the mass incorporation of social media into our lives and how it allows us to have constant access to others lives and others into our own, we…

How To Take Great Photos Of Your Kid. Photos are one of the best ways to chronicle your child’s journey from a playful infant to a successful adult. What would the first day of school be like without pictures? What would their first dance be like if you could not get a picture of them all dressed up for the first time? What would their first bike ride be like if you could not get a good picture of your kid trying to ride a bike for the very first time? Hopefully you understand where I am going…

songs are coming through the loudspeakers. When you go to the gym to work out a rap song is blaring out of the speakers. Music is constantly around us. When people hear a song images pop into their heads. Music plays a key role in the sense of place. The articles Place or Space and Sacred Spaces and Tourist Places, the way images are presented, and the things I learned all contributed to our project in the way music corresponds to geographic sense of place. In the article Place or Space by…

art because anyone can take photos. In my opinion, I would say that Photography is art. People say that it is not because it’s just too easy, or that camera makes the image and that basically anyone can do it. But art through photography is not easy at all. The photographer is creating the photographs. The camera records the images, but the photographer is the one that is capturing the emotion and the beauty of the moment. Photography is art, that is a fact. Like some people say beauty is in the…
