Assignment 2: The Photographer's Eye

Frame

This image really stands out to me when I think of 2 different subjects that do not normally go together. In this photo, the grasses and trees are growing up and around the very industrial/ manmade looking pipes and machinery. 

Vantage point

I liked this photo because not many people see this view of their house. This is a very unexpected and unique view that I thought looks interesting. 

Detail

I thought that this electricity meter was a great representation a just a small part of a bigger world. This meter is just one component of the construction of the building, and if you think about it, one small part of the whole electrical grid because all of it is connected through the power lines.

Time

I chose this photo as my "Time" photo just because of the sky. Even at night, as long as you use a long shutter speed, you can see the clouds. I loved the color that the clouds showed up as too! 

The Thing itself

In "The photographer's Eye", Szarkowski talks about how photos differ from reality so I thought a great way to change reality slightly was just to flip it upside down. Now the picture still deals with reality, but it is not quite the same thing.

Blog assignment #1

         This is one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken. I took it while on a trip to Portugal. This picture was taken outside of the walled city of Óbidos. This picture was taken looking up at one of the towers along the wall. This trip was very memorable because it was the first time I had got on a plane, let alone left the country. My family was part of a missions trip, there, worked at a camp in the capitol city of Lisbon. When the camp was over, on the weekend we went sight seeing and one of the places we went to was Óbidos.
