Photographic Context & History (Ongoing)


TERMS & CONTEXT
ISO

In Digital Photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in filmphotography – the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. Higher ISO settings are generally used in darker situations to get faster shutter speeds.

 EUGÈNE ATGET
1857-1927

ALFRED STIEGLITZ
1864-1946
US
Important figure in promoting photography as a viable art form
Was a publisher, patron, collector, gallery owner, promoter..... of all kinds of art
Married to the painter Georgia O' Keeffe
"I have always been a great believer in today. Most people live either in the past or in the future, so that they really never live at all. So many people are busy worrying about the future of art or society, they have no time to preserve what is. Utopia is in the moment. Not in some future time, some other place, but in the here and now, or else it is nowhere."

Open your eyes and look at the world to see more than it really is.  Artist Statement  What is especially satisfying to you about the finished product?        The  finish product on photo #2 shows how you can be bright and happy but you don't have to be around people. It shows my colors are being happy but like it photo #3 shows how my would can be dark at the same time they contemplate each other. They explain how life is a rollercoaster with ups and downs.   In what was...

Question #1: "How are emotions..."

QUESTION #1. "How are emotions raised by a photograph (work of art) different from typical human emotions? (For example, is a 'sad' photograph/painting different from another experience of sadness?)

If not, why not?" ************* Everything is different I felt many different  things over this weekend, I was so happy yesterday  but on Thursday I was crying my eyes out all day then I did some horrible  things to myself.
