Post #5: You know how she gets. Lets not push the envelope.



You've Ever Wondered by Erica Barban, Curie High School

This photo was taken by a high school student who took part in an exhibition where multiple high school students shared words and creative ideas about their photos and photo ideas. This photo was exposed twice to create the double image. The face of the person is over laid with something that looks like car garage. I just think that this photo is interesting to look at.



Mathematics #57, 1976

I found this picture while wandering the Internet aimlessly. As you can see, that can have very good turnouts. I really like this picture becuase one, it's called mathematics(what kind of name is that?) and two, the contrast is unique. I struggle to really identify what the subject is. To me it's more of a photo gram then a photo, but nonetheless very enjoyable. My best guess...It looks like someone waved a sparkler in front of the camera during a real long exposure. Just a guess.


Small Wars, An-My Le

This photo is a picture of an air assault in the middle east. Obviously the weapons used had tracers in which the photographer could capture, using a slower shutter speed, looking like strange lighting rods. This picture, like the last has very interesting contrast. The bright streaks illuminate the majority of the photo while the rest are covered in dark greys and blacks.



This one didn't have a title that I saw. Here's what I like about it, the patterns. I've always been pretty good at those. Though I don't like how it's not black and white like my other ones, the over all idea kind of fits in I thought. For me, it takes a while to see what I'm looking at, but then I get it, I see the structure. He's the question though, is the picture looking up, or down?



I have nearly no idea what this photo is of. The only thing that I recognize is the bricks in the lower right hand corner. but what are they around. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a picture taken from birds I view, but then I realized it couldn't because the bricks would have to be absolutely humongous. But I like it, and I think that it fits in with the other four nicely, so I went with it.
