mixed media is the type of art work he decided to use. He combined many things together such as paint, photography, news/magazines and possibly photoshop. I think these things have to do with worldly things that are occuring. Im not so much into that type of stuff because it is a little boring. but there was a few pieces i did like. the colorful ones with more of a topic behind it than just political things interested me.

thoughts--
window ways
tunnels
electrical plugs
toilets
vents
framing
hose

Many things can be similar and even more alike than you think, but they all have their own meaning which isnt always like everything elses'.

I was thinking about taking pictures of my little sister in bum like clothing holding a sign conveying something around the lines of homeless and needing money but in stronger wording, sitting in some sort of place where you'd normally see bums. The economy has become such a horrible place, there are so many more homeless people now days then there has been in a very long time. "The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer."

i could become a better photographer by
* carrying my camera everywhere i went, and taking photos of anything that looks appealing.
* setting up my shots in a better manner, guaranteed my photos would be 100 times better.
* take more pictures of the things i really like in life such as landscapes and nature to develope a high skill level in those areas.

In my opinion, this video was very interesting to watch. Each story had it's own pictures to go with it that showed more to the story. i think each picture was taken to show how each photographer perspective came into play within the stories. not everything was in the nicest way, its like the pictures were takin to send out some type of message to everyone who would be looking at it and reading the story.

NY TIMES:

Obama: as the president of the united states all these pictures are up close and personal. His facial expressions vary and they really make you think about the things he might be saying or what he is thinking.


Cheney: this photo of cheney isnt so much on a personal level, the picture is of him cooking which doesnt tell us very much in comparison to obama. there needs to be more to the picture on a personal level and something that is compared or a like to obama to give the picture more of an importance.

Things I Learned--

~Backdrop is very important, it gives certain pictures much more importance
~value between backdrop and the subject
~its okay to break the rules every now and then to catch a really good photo
~get opposites of everything; color vs black/white, plain vs complicated, light vs dark
~taking notes will help you later on and it will keep you understanding whats going on within the picture and backgroud ect.

The indecisive image--
There are many different techniques that you can chose from to set up a shot such as macro, motion blur, shutter speed and depth of field. Bruer is the most radical process photographer; he always manages to find the best work outside the rules! Abstract photography is almost like a whole different world in photography. at times you cant even tell what your looking at, except a crazy cool looking picture.

1.) Will you include a person?
-yes i probably will include a person to give the picture a stronger meaning and a larger explanation

2.) What objects?
- i will most likely use my backyard, my little sister, flowers, homework..

3.) What is the emphasis of the photo?
-the emphasis of the photo will be the subject

4.) What composition techniques will you use?
-rule of thirds, diagonal line and golden line!

5.) What lighting will you use?
- i will use the three spot lights i have in my room, then the sunlight when the sun is going down and then when it is rising.

PRINCIPLES-->

i learned the principles in detail. it took me writing notes on them and keeping the paper next to me while i was taking the pictures but i still took them which i thought i did pretty decent with. they didnt come very clear to me at first and that frustrated me because i knew they in a way revolved around the elements of art but the key thing is their much more deeper then just an element. i liked taking pictures of macros and cross hatched looking things!

reading two:

The flat surface that a human works on/at is called the picture plane. Three demensional space has height, width and much depth to it for it to be legit. Flowing space isnt always clear nor the best choice in many artists/photographers eyes. You can add tints by adding white within the picture because it will dull it up a little bit depending id you know what your doing or not. Colors such as white, gray, and black are classified as neutrals. Obviously color comes from the right lighting corresponding to the picture.

Blog One:

I have learned a lot from the reading. I thought line, shape and texture were such basic elements when really there is much thought put into them and there is a lot of meaning to them in a single picture when you actually put things together and make everything come together which forms one great looking picture.
