Pier 24 Photograph Analysis
As I walked into Pier 24 Photograph, I experienced sentiments of curiosity and anticipation. Photography has always intrigued me and having the opportunity to observe these photographs that related to this idea of “The Grain of the Present” illuminated the talent that San Francisco possess. As I walked around, observing the various works by the skilled photographers who must have spent countless hours capturing the perfect image, one particular photograph captured my attention.
The image was Falls #2, 2005, located in Alec South.

Furthermore, the photograph’s size does not represent its vastness. As I mentioned before, an observer cannot understand the impact of Niagara Falls unless they view it in person. But, I feel if the picture were blown up, it would only help how powerful the image of the falls is.

The natural beauty of Niagara Falls cemented itself in my memory. The bonds that I built with my parents and my brother never felt stronger. We had just overcome a difficult period in our lives and that trip marked how strong we are, and how we had the ability to succeed in the toughest situations. This photograph sparked why I love to travel and why I will never miss a moment to experience the world around
