How Photography Influenced My Life
How has photography influenced your life?

Photography has influenced my life in ways that are hard to explain. From the time I was born, photographs have surrounded me everywhere I look. With that being said, its hard to imagine life without to photographs; therefore I can eaily say that photography has influenced me. The tricky part of the question is answering in which ways has photography influenced my life. I would have to say that by being able to look at photographs everyday, I'm able to stay connected with others and with the world around me. Photographs allows me to capture a moment and have a better memory of a particular event.

If photography didn't exist, how would the world be different?

Without photography, that last resort

    Just like the reading states where it became a way for black people to come out and be noticed and respected; to be represented. Photographs show the truth in the lives of people, in our country, in the world, past, present, and sometimes even the future. The images that are portrayed always have a much deeper truth then what can just be seen with a quick glance. The author talks about how her parents took photos of her family and their lives constantly. The reason for this being that there is a deeper truth behind it. They weren’t able to express themselves in the past and so much of their lives had been lost. Therefore, they were taking every opportunity to capture and cherish…

    During the nineteenth century photography was a very popular pursuit. Social and cultural circumstances as well as scientific interests spread the invention and use of photography. Not all people embraced photography, especially some artists who did not consider photographs to be a form of art, but many found it to be a very useful tool. Photographs served as documentation for wars and furthered scientific research, creating new technologies that we take for granted today, making it a useful tool for people of all occupations, quickly spreading all around the world.…

    Photography shows us the world, but only the world the photographer creates. According to Sontag, “photography implies that we know about the world if we accept it as the camera records it.” In other words the viewer only sees what’s within the frame. Images allowed us to see situations that occurred, however, it’s extremely limited in what the audience can see. I agree with Sontag’s claim that photography limits our understanding of the world. Photography has accomplished the task of manipulation to the point where images do not exhibit the honesty.…

    Walking into the band room for the first time, the sound of every instrument being poorly played by fourth graders suffocated the room. The squeal of saxophones and blaring bass of tubas made it impossible to hear the instructions being given by the band director. However, none of that mattered to me. All I could do was to stare at the only thing in the room that was able to grasp my attention: a shiny, red drum set. I migrated to the back corner of the room where it sat unoccupied, took my place on the stool, picked up some sticks, and immediately felt at home. At that moment, it was clear to me that playing music was what I was meant to do.…

    Photos are wonderful still frames of a world that has passed us. Without them we would have lost so much of time. In every little box you keep a fragment of that day for all of time. I love pictures that don't include me. I personally dislike being in photos but love looking at others photo. It's weird I know but that's my stand on photos.…

    Last year, I had a class where everyone had to write positive things about people on slips of paper that those people would later receive. Most of the slips I was given had words like “artistic” written on them. It’s the one thing people think of when they see me. I’m given art supplies for birthdays and Christmas, I used to be able to fill sketchbooks in just a month, and creating just now seems like something I’m supposed to be alive for, but I didn’t get serious about it until I was in middle school and didn’t want to make a career out of it until I was a freshmen in high school. Unfortunately, I’ve been going to a school that does not offer much or any art classes but on my own, I have been climbing my way to my dreams of becoming an animator, illustrator, or tattoo artist. Going to Perpich will benefit me well in this process and I’ve already taken art classes at the Art Academy, started my own webcomic, experimented with many different mediums, and have read books about improving art styles. The visual arts is essentially my passion and I will do anything to keep it that way.…

    Through the power of photography we can bring back and recall a moment from our childhood. We can recall a moment of joy or sadness and share that moment. Because a picture captures the quintessence of a single moment and makes that moment permanent, we can look at it over and over again.…

    Photography is a creative form of art that can articulate all of the different aspects of humans. It shows our true colors, hobbies, and expressions. A photograph can also be interpreted with over a thousand words as just one human can. Looking at a photo allows someone to judge another person based on their appearance or expression rather than letting the person in the photograph speak for themselves. Aside from the emotions or expressions given off by a model in a photograph, the person looking at the photo and their interpretation of the person in the photo also says a lot about humanity in this way. Because we judge people.…

    For my Unit 3, I will be studying Wildlife photography. This topic greatly appeals to me and I find the concept very interesting. It links in well with my summer task and I would like to expand the focus by photographing other animals. The topic is very broad and I would like to produce an in depth study of it, however it could be quite hard to complete due to not having access to seeing many animals and so I must visit the zoo. Doing this could also have setbacks such as cages, high walls and whether the animals will actually be out and not hiding at the back or in huts. I would like to accomplish similar photographs to Nick Brandt who captures detail on South African animals very well. This topic would mostly mean using a shallow depth of field to try and concentrate on the subject matter (the animal) which helps make it stand out. To get interesting photographs I may have to have the animals doing something exciting which may be hard for me to capture if the animals are in the zoo. Therefore I seek to try and work around it by looking at events and feeding times at the zoo. I may also want to take photographs of different pets, which would require me to talk to friends or relatives to see if they have any pets which they wouldn’t mind me photographing. I have chosen this topic as it’s something that greatly interests me and I believe that if I am able to find everything I require, I could come out with some good results.…

    The world I come from is filled with trouble. Growing up has been awfully challenging for me. On one side of my family, there are well educated people who know their responsibilities and understand right from wrong, and on the other side there are troublemakers who seek to enjoy themselves as much as possible (with the exception of a few) with little to no responsibilities. During a major part of my childhood, I had been best friends with one of those cousins for a long time, to the point where I myself became one of those troublemakers, until he took matters too far by committing actions he should never have done, so I had to make one of the most difficult choices as a kid: we could no longer be best friends. My entire life has been a struggle with situations like these, and having to find myself new friends…
