American story

A. What is the most powerful image from the pictures printed in the Denver Post over the three weeks they published images from the year of coverage? Why?

Abandoned theme parks

Image
1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph. I would like to go to the Land of Oz, Beech Mountain, North Carolina, USA because it seems scary enough for me to go. Plus i would love to visit a wizard of oz theme park! Also because it looks creepy and that would be fun. 2. Post one photo from that park. You may use the photos from the link, or you can google an entirely new photo. I would prefer to see a photo of the park in disrepair and not a photo of it when it was still operating.   3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them. Pripyat Amusement Park, Ukraine Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobart, Japan Six Flags New Orleans, Louisiana Okpo Land, Okpo City, Geoje Island South Korea Dunaújváros Vidám Park, Dunaújváros, Hungary 4.

Prompt shoot #2

Image
These pictures represent cold. These are my pictures for electrical. These are my pictures that represent purple.

Warm up

1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images? I felt very sad. 2. The photographer said this: "These photographs do not define us, but they are us." What do you think about this comment now that you have looked at the photos? I think the photographer is trying to say that the photos do not define who we are as a  individual like they don't give the whole story.But they are what it looks like,. 3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation? I think I would take photos because it would be my way with coping with the situation rather then being sad all the time. 4. If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say to him? I would say I'm very sorry for your loss and no one deserves to die so young with life ahead of them. It gets better throughout time just  hang in there and it will.

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? Post the images with your writing. What caught my eye about Harry Callahan was his photos always being in black and white. Also a lot of his photos have his wife or his child in it which i find so sweet. He's a really good photographer and deserves more recognition. 2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog. I see a woman in a room with the outside of window rejecting onto her face. Her face is looking to her left at something. I also see her hair in a pretty up hairdo. I smell the scent of a Sunday morning. Also the dust in the air with a nice breeze. Maybe a little hint of  cinnamon because it looks fall in the picture. I hear the sound of rus...

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?  I could not avoid mergers it was really hard to not let something not get into the picture that I didn't want. 2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a spec fic example of what you did to do this correctly. Focusing  the  camera because it wouldn't focus like i wanted it to so i had to adjust the lens and then it worked better but I think i got the hang of focusing it better. 3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I would take more photos and also get pictures from different angles. 4. What things would you do the same? I would keep the flash on like i did. 5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule d...
