Preliminary Work on the Final Project

  1. Please submit the picture you are committing to use for your final project.
  2. What aspects of the image interests you? 

The overall composition of the image and the leather bomber jacket my dad wore. 

  1. What time period is this picture taken?

1988, my father in university in Beijing

  1. Who is in the picture?

My father

  1. What is going on in the picture? 

My father is posing to take a picture on the new camera he purchased. It was taken by his roommate at that time. 

  1. Include a list of things that you could try to prove using the clothing in the image as a basis for your paper.

Although the jacket is a bit oversized for his body, the general silhouette of the jacket is still a classic piece of item people wear today. Because it was taken on black and white film, we do not know the specific color but my father mentioned that it was a leather jacket. He is also seen pairing the leather jacket along with his slightly oversized baggy denim jeans.
