American Photography (part 3)

1. The vietnam war, how it was mostly censored so that people would stay pro war. The government had the photos censored because they didn't want people to lose interest in the war. When the families of the soldiers should have been able to know what is happening to their family.
2. They make us see stuff differently by, seeing things hat we would have not seen before. Like if you were at your home you would be able to see photos from other parts of the world.
3. A lot they can do many things like persuade to be on someones side of something, or change your idea about something.
4. We would see more hitech digital camera's, the current war we are in, and alotof the thing that are wrong with our country.

Collage

A lot of stuff appears in my collage, but mot of it is about technology. Like space, Ipod, Tv, gaming system. To a lot of the layers i changed the opacity and added some sort of effect to them. Like pin light color burn stuff like that. The more i worked on it the more ideas pop into my head of objects that i could add. Different blending options and playing with the opacity. I liked my back round the best it combined space, and some wooden back round I decreased the opacity of the wood back round and it left a cool pattern. Probaly would change the whole thing it didn't turn out how i would have liked it to. Add more objects.

Ideal World

1. It would probaly look like the same as it usually does but with a lot more technology. Not as many bright colors either.
2. It would be where it already is.
3. All the same colors but jsut less bright ones.
4. Technology, like Ipods, computers, more hi-tech cars, stuff like that.
5. There wouldn't be as much non technological stuff. Like better built hoses ect. ect.
6. All types of people' mostly family and friends i guess.
7. They would all interact nicely with each other there would be no violence, maybe some arguing but no fighting or war.
8. It would have flying cars.

Close Up

I photographed JJ because I don't really know anyone else in this class and becuase I already had photographed him before. My favorite photo is the close up because he is making a dumb face with no expression.

I decided to document my cats. I picked this topic because I couldn't really thing of anything else to do, and because it was really easy to photograph them since they are in my house. I wanted it to reveal the simplicity of being a cat in a good loving household. I learned that it is hard to photograph cats since they keep moving. My favorite picture is probaly the close up of my cay static, because it looks funny.
