I really enjoyed how this paper was laid out. The way the paper flowed was very easy to read and I could really feel what he was saying with the pictures. I think that photography shows who you are and what you treasure most in your life.I also like to think that what you do with the photograph says allot. I personally enjoy capturing the moment. Not a pose but naturally selecting the unfamiliar.
I absolutely love this quote,"As things teach us what we already are, we gain a vision of the world". This is so true. We are who we are and everyday the things that we do gives us the experience of liking of disliking something. When I was young I didn't know I would love to take pictures until I did it one day.
I really like the circular picture "Spring Snow". I think it gives the picture a whole new feel. By circling in on a picture you give it an elongated feel. I used to think the entire structure, people or pieces needed to be in the picture but recently I have thought differently. Focusing in on one point and getting the pieces of the surroundings give it a whole new feeling. I know photography takes a lot of practice and I cant wait until I am comfortable with the camera and start taking grade A pictures like this one!
I loved Emmet Gowin's pictures. I feel pictures of your family can be a treasure. Certain feelings in you come up when you see pictures of family.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why Emmet Gowin feels a picture an artist makes is in part a picture of himself. I think that we all like different things about a picture and we can have different feelings about the same picture. Many times people choose to take pictures based on their likes. When we see photographs of artists many times we can see similarities in the things they choose to photogragh. Atists can help you see the happiness and saddness that is happening to the people in the picture. The moment can be captured forever.
I liked that picture the best too! It reminds me of the country or a small little town. It is comforting and makes me feel good inside.
