Emmet Gowin

I think family was very important for Emmet Gowin because he took so many pictures of them. I can relate to his love for his family because about 6 times a year my dads family gets together and we take picture to capture moments that will be precious when we get older and look back at them.


I can relate to this family picture really well because this is what my family does at family gatherings. There are a lot of little kids around and we just sit around and talk.

I agree with that when you take pictures that you plan, sometimes won't turn out as nice as some pictures that you randomly take. I've taken pictures before with friends and it takes us forever to get that perfect picture, but sometimes when we just take quick random pictures, they show up to be 10 times better than the ones that we plan.





I thought it was interesting how Gowin had a lens that took circular pictures and then cut them to be square. I think having pictures in a circle like this really makes the viewer look at it differently than looking at a square picture. While looking at a square picture people usually just look at it like its through a camera. Having a circular picture can make the viewer look at the picture differently. The first thing i thought of when i saw this picture was that it was though a telescope.
