The Thing Itself


What I got out of John Szarkowski's statement that the factuality of images, "no matter how convincing and unarguable, is a different thing than reality itself,"is that sometimes what seems to look like a simple scene, has a greater meaning behind it. For example, the photo I took may seem like a garden and field with a rock in the foreground saying "Let it Rain." However, The "Let it Rain" rock is telling the viewer that in order for our fields and gardens to be bountiful with crops we need the rain to come and help the crops grow. The image doesn't always just show the obvious, the viewer may need to think about the photograph to find the deeper meaning it is trying to tell.

  2. I like that you took a picture of a picture for your slow shutter speed. It's cool how you caught the slide show changing and it almost looks like a double exposure.
