Describe: A tree with a burst of light through the center, a person walking, a sidewalk, smoke in the background, very defined and sharp all over Interpret: The sun is either setting or just rose and is shining through the tree. The bright light of the sun is in the center of the image, carefully captured between branches of the tree. This creates heavy shadows, which makes the image more dramatic. At the top of the tree, the branches are very defined due to the time of day, which adds to the overall composition. Theorize: Making the sun the central point of the photo, the image emphasizes that the sun is the center of all things. The photographer demonstrates the significance of lighting. Judgement: I really like the composition of the photo, I just really wish that guy wasn't walking on the side. ((since it was on campus I know it's really hard to not get people in the photos))
image #3 description: a wall takes most of the image area. A tree grows right in front of it on the left side.
Interpretation: the wall appears to be made of brick, and appears very tall due to the number of bricks it contains. The tree looks small because of its size relative to the wall. The wall is probably part of a larger building. Whether or not the tree was planted by people is unclear.
Theorizing: The tree's leaves grow away from the wall to catch open sunlight. As a result, the branches grow straight out. The low visibility of the trunk almost makes it look like the branches grow directly out of the wall. The single tree and wall shows signs of loneliness and confinement.
Judgement: The simplicity of the photo is its greatest strength, I think. The proximity of the tree and wall is eye-catching and brings visual interest.
Image #4: Description: A paper towel dispenser mounted on a wall. A light source shines from the left. A single paper towel waits at the mouth of the dispenser. Text is painted on the upper third, left side of the dispenser. An image is painted at the bottom, center of the dispenser. There is a slight tear in the paper towel hanging directly in the center. Interpretation: The slight tear in the center of the paper towel is where the last user ripped the towel, or the photographer tugged at the paper towel for the shot. The image is telling the user how to dispense paper towels. The text offers contact information in case of malfunction. The light source is from a fluorescent light above a mirror. Theorizing: The image gives off a sense of loneliness, especially with the single light source. It reminds me of Gwendolyn's Image 8 with the emphasis of shadow and singularity. Judgement: I like the fact that the dispenser isn't centered. The positioning in the upper left gives room for the delicate shadows on the wall. I like the contrast between the fact that it's a public bathroom, which is typically gross, and it's able to give off such delicate lighting and shadow. Awesome.
Describe: there is smoke in the background. a large tree is the center focus of the image. There are several shadows leaning in the general direction oft he viewer. The is a light behind the tree, shining thrpught the gaps beteeen the leaves of the tree. There is a silhouette of a geometric object to the left of the tree on the side walk. Interpret: the suns is rising behind the tree, the tree stands tall att he center of the image. Towering over the metal newspaper box to its left. The surrounding side walk is well cared for which implies it is well used. Theorize: the image has great use of contrast and lighting. The shadows are extrememly strong. You can tell that this is the focus of the photographer, because it is such a prominent component of the piece. Judgement: i really like it. It has many aspects to it, and the soft lighting , mixed with the composition makes this a beautiful image.
