Best Photographs VIII











4 comments:

  1. Describe: Lights, trees, sidewalk, circles, branches.
    Interpret: This is looking through glass at the outside world, with reflection upon the glass.
    Theorize: There is layer upon layer of images bound together to create a composition with lots of repetition of circles and vertical lines.
    Judge: This could contain a lot of metaphors with the many layers. I enjoy it because it is different from the norm and has nice rhythm. .The lights and circles reminds me of notes on music sheets.

  2. Photo #8
    Describe: a face is barely shown on the right side; light streaks curve throughout the photo; picture is blurry; background is dark.
    Interpret: looks like a ghost with only a face drifting through a space; looks like a documented ghost; face looks Asian.
    Theorize: To achieve this ghostly image, the technique of long exposure while a subject is moving was used. This photo shows a way to make a composition creepy and supernatural through the use of this technique.
    Judgement: I really like the paranormal feeling I get from this photo. I like the composition.

  3. Image #6
    Description: A spiderweb lit by a light source. There is a building behind the spiderweb. There are a set of trees behind the building. The window frames and shutters are painted different colors. The glass panes are ingrained with a square frame.
    Interpretation: The spiderweb is lit because of the morning dew. The background is an apartment complex, surrounded by woods.
    Theorize: This was a happenstance photograph taken in the early morning on the way to the bus station to go to class. The spider probably made this web the night before.
    Judgement: I love the contrast between the light spiderweb and the darkly-colored building. I wish the background was simpler, perhaps without the trees or if the trees and building were composed of similar tones to really bring out the brightness of the web.
