Reaction Paper 2.



Ibelieve that Emmet Gowin is very talented with his photography. He is able to capture the every day type of lifestyle in some of his pictures. I believe that he captures a specific time that becomes special that would usually be passed over otherwise. The people in his life were very important to him. I really like this picture, this is the one that stood out to me the most. I think that it shows how a person would see it through their own eyes. It captures the perfect tranistion fall to winter day. I also believe that he is showing that life without people in it is lonely and boring. The beauty of his picutres is that they all look natural and things that would be in a person's life. His photographs I feel like have a sense of calmness to them. I really like the circle feature, I think it give it a unique and better look to the picture. I like the fact that he used something different.I think this picture says a lot about family life and just a relaxing time of the day. This shows that he did not have them wait and pose for the picture which has made it more expressive.

  1. You are very right about this picture. I believe the other pictures were staged though. I do like your point of view on the calmness of the pictures. It seems like in today's world you would never see an image like this and believe that this is everyday life.

  2. Agreed. He shows his influeces in his very pictures. The first photo makes me think of looking through a spy hole in hotel doors and pearing out into the outside.
