Science of photography

Every day I check my Instagram and Facebook to see what my friends have posted. The posts of pictures I see are what I use to interpret what I think about that person. I make assumptions and conclude a lot from a single photo. However, what I perceive is not always the truth about that given situation or person. People post certain 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…

Perplexing Coding This picture symbolizes my AP Computer Science class because in this class, I had to come up with different types of codes, like the one shown, to write and format. I chose this image because once I entered this class I knew that coding was exactly what it appeared to be. Complicated. Most of my class was filled with seniors so the first few months I struggled to learn the material that they already knew. When Mr. Ellich asked questions like what does “string” mean in coding,…

“In the beginning, photography was my passport to meeting people, learning, and experiencing new cultures. Now it is more than just a passport.

necessary to have an impact on the citizens in the US. Dorothea Lange’s photography had a captivating effect as her technique allowed for the subject of the photograph to be focused on. Lange did not photograph to be recognized herself, she photographed to portray the reality of the US during the 1930s to the 1940s. Lange was a very prevalent photographer of the time and helped develop the concept of documentary photography. As an FSA photographer, she brought awareness of the severe poverty and…

wouldn’t change anything; I love the photograph the way it is. It’s clear, beautiful, intrigues me and makes me think. I paddleboard, swim and love music, so the photograph represents me well. I also, have sparked an interest in photography recently, especially photography nature and landscapes. I express creativity and the photograph makes me wonder which is what I love doing in my life. The video I chose is created by a person on YouTube; a guy took certain clips from the animated move…

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.

One thing that really adds to the effect of the whole video is the color scheme used. In certain scenes, color is either muted or focused on in accordance to what is happening to the characters in the short film and its overlying message. This serves to amplify the horrific changes the boarding schools made to the kids and their heritage. The film…
