Multi Frame Photo

This Project was  very interesting, trying to find total different images that connect together with each other. My hardest part of this project was trying to connect them together, in a patter or a symbol. The two images were harder than the three multi frame photos because it was harder to get your point across with only two pictures. Its easier when you have thee pictures because you have more points to get across, than with just two. even though this project was challenging it still was a great project. 

SF MOMA REVIEW

Exposed
Exposed was a very interesting, expressive way of photography of different kinds of images. The artist brought out modern images and historical images of places all around and also of people. The exposed images brought out different styles of photography for example; this one piece was about violence, and another was just plain and simple. It came up in different categories of art. One of my favorite series was New York by Garry Winngrand. It showed a lot of day to day things on busy streets, of New York. They also played a Video that I wasn’t able to remember the name. It was really cool and interesting.

Henri Cartier-Bresson
This section of photography was very different than exposed. It was more settle and traditional. He is a photo journalist, and is a very unique artist in photography. Most of his photos made a symbol stand out of an image; it really brought life to the images, even though most of them were in black and white. I wasn’t that interested in his work, with the portraits, I felt that he could have done more with the people, but that’s my own opinion.

Name Poem Photos

In this project we took photos of pictures that represent each letter of our name. We took pictures of images that represented who we are as a person/ our personality. It was a fun thing to do and an experience to learn who we are as a person and what we think we represent ourselves as.
