Mid-Term Response

I chose to respond to Loretta Lux. I liked Simon Johan photographs more than Loretta Lux because of the animal subjects being outside in their natural habitat compared to children inside their house. I just found the animals to be more interesting. But I think Loretta Lux's photographs are successful because they look exactly like portraits. I can not think of what she used to edit the pictures because they look so flawless.

Reading Assignment 5 & Shooting Exercise

Currently I do not have the reading for this week on my person when writing this. I will get back to this bit later.

Shooting Exercise

This exercise was somewhat interesting. I ended up looking for pictures that would have a different front and back picture, but would be still interesting. From doing what I did for this exercise, the interesting part I found was the difference between the front and back pictures I took.

Reading Assignment 4

I know this is late, but I will get back to this entry in a little bit.

...

I finally found my reading. So now I can respond to it.

I only point I can relate to was when you do not have to print everything you shoot. This allows you to make risks during the three chances you have to get a good picture. The three chances are taking the picture, reformatting the picture, and printing the picture I think.

Reading Assignment 3

As I sit here in the mac lab waiting for the newspaper class to let out so I can get some other homework done, I notice this longer reading we also have have to respond to. I think to myself when I finish printing the reading out that it would have been nicer to receive this reading before the weekend since now we only have 2 days for a 14 page reading.
...
The reading points out something near the beginning and I realized that when I look at something, I do look for the relationship between the subject the view has and myself without realizing it.

Reading Assignment 2

I had forgotten about this 2nd reading until this week. At least I am responding to it now.
...
I have noticed from reading this that the seriousness of photography has dwindled through the years. Like stated in the reading, the photography of the 19th century was a serious event, while now I do not see many people taking photography seriously. I also agree with the statement at the end that says that "a strong portrait is a strong photograph." If there was not was a good subject and the photographer did not take tame to set up the camera properly for the picture, then there would not be a good picture. I also found the inexpensive ways to set up the lighting interesting.

Reading Assignment 1

I honestly do not know what to say about or how to respond to our first reading Digital Revisited.

...

Well on second thought, when I reread the quote by E.L. Doctorow I possibly thought of something to say. When Doctorow says "We live in an age where everything is available but nothing is valuable," I agreed. People today take everything for granted. In some cases, maybe, even their own lives.

...

Also, come to think of it, I not even sure if this section was even to have meant something to me compared to the first section that actually has something to do with this class.

Oh well, as least I put something up on here.
