Self/Reveal Project

Artist Statement

My whole life I have grown up in an LDS church. I have faith in god and Jesus Christ that I could always pray and ask questions that I have. I wanted to show that I use faith in my life. In each picture I have light that represents god. I always search for the light in my life and how when we show faith in god and ourselves there is a light that guides us. Even when we feel lost we have to find the light in the world. In the first picture shows how when you read the scripture we find knowledge and answers. The next picture shows the blessings we receive. In the last two pictures is what it would be like in heaven and how no matter what we are never alone.

Museum of Moving Image reflection

Jul23

In the museum there was a invention that when you spin it looks like the bird in the cage. There was two small poles. There was stings attached to each side of the poles. In the middle there is a flat wooden circle. In one side of the circle is a picture of a bird and the other side a picture of an empty cage. When you turn it around many times then let go and looks like the bird is in the cage.

 

In the museums there was also a cylinder that was empty in the middle. in the sides in the inside there were pictures of the same thing  or person. In between the pictures there is a rectangular hole to give the person watching it like its moving. The cylinder its on a pole that holds and spins. When you spin the cylinder you look through the sides to see it move

 

In the museum there is a machine that when you look inside are pictures. The pictures are like stop motion. On the outside there was a handle that you turn. When you turn the pictures insides move and if yo turn it fast it looks likes its moving.

My Flaneur project

Jul18

 

Artist Statement

My flanuer project is about gun violence in school. There has been many gun shooting that have happen in school. Students in the united states have to have locked down drills in case someone comes in with a gun. parent send there kids to school knowing their kids are in lock down drills and have to worry if they be ok. I showed I door knob as a gun and at the end a kid because that who it affects in the end. its was a success in how fast and blrurred the picture was to show how fast gun violance is happening in schools and that and students and teachers get killed. The pictures being fast as well showing a door knob as a gun helps the audience wonder more about the picture and when you open the door you see the kid symbolizing all the kids that hide in back of lock doors in lock down drills.

Reflections on MOMA

Jul15

 

what makes the photo successful is that the photographer was able to show that splitting the picture in half. Photographer shows how the person has a surname but ends up changing their surname. The top of the picture shows the person before they changed their names and when they did why the pictures at the bottom has descriptions. the photographer does not mentions what camera they use but most of its picture were photograph were in color.

 

The photographer did their picture in black and white. There were three women in different position. the models also had different expression and only one is smiling. As well as the photographer cropped some of the models. the photographer was successful in which they created a disorientation in between the images and models. the photographer shows their concept because it reminds us that individuals are different and mutable as well as inconsistent.

 

The photographer shows black and white pictures. They decide to have many different picture in different sizes. There were many picture of woman giving birth all over the wall cluster together but still able to see the pictures. The photographer was successful in which she was able to show new life by the woman giving birth. The photographer also showed the pain that mothers go through to bring their love one unto the earth. The photographer was probably trying to show appreciation to mothers.

Artist Statements

         At first I had the theme of asking the people what was their favorite place to be in New York City and this is what they told me. They each told me where they were from and something that they liked about New York City. I had to learn that not everyone would actually want you to take a picture of them but those that did let me I got to learn their story and how not everyone is from New York, some are visiting and some are from New York.

       Looking back at the photos I saw a story that represents New York City. New York City is about diversity and the people who come from all over the world to be here.

 

Different photographic views

Jul10

                                     In this picture I was playing with the zoom and i liked the way it came out. The picture looks like a butterfly.

 

 

 

                                       I was trying to focus on the flower and have the background blurry. i tried changing the IOS and Aperture.

 

 

 


I was working with the zoom. I liked the way it came out. The plant looks like a forest. i decided to take a picture of the bush in zoom because                                                                                                                     it would have look nice.

 

 

I was working IOS and Aperture trying to adjust it to the light outside.

 

 

we were working on the bulk. at first we could not get the picture right then we figure out the camera was not turn on manually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took a picture of the building while I was getting the ISO and Aperture to the outside light. I also liked the view of the building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was working on the zoom. In this picture the flower as well as the plants looked like they are pop up.

 

 

I was trying to get the middle gray so i practice on the chairs. it ended up looking interesting.
