Motivation

Dorothea Lange was born on May 26, 1895 in Hoboken, New Jersey. She grew up in the era of the Great Depression. During the Great Depression she photography unemployed men wandering the streets using a Large Graflex camera. Lange motivations came by from quotes that she live by “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” And “Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion... the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate.” Each photo taking has a different feeling towards it.

Anne Geddes was born September 13 in Australian. Geddes became photographer at the age 25. She assisted a local photographer before starting her own studio from her garage. Geddes main subject of photography was of babies. “The best images are the ones that retain their strength and impact over the years, regardless of the number of times they are viewed.” She put all her efforts to raising awareness of child abuse and neglect.  “Geddes does not audition babies for use as models because she believes all babies are beautiful. Instead, she keeps in touch with multiple birth and twin clubs and has thousands of photographs on file that parents have sent her.”

My motivation map consists of Money, Family/Friends, Survival, and Success. I feel as these key points help me live the life that I want and feed off each other. Money is a necessity, money makes the world go around and we need it to support our families. Everybody wants to survive and it’s hard to survive in a world like that. In order to make money and provide for your family you have to be successful in your ventures and family is your support base. My motivation map is similar to the photographer’s because their motivations help them be successful in their journey and my motivation is my path to be successful.

Photojournalism and Bias

In this image I see a Navy man in tears playing a song “Going Home” while the former president Franklin D. Roosevelt funeral train passes by. I think the man has a lot of different emotions on his face. I think for example, he is sad to know that a good president has pass away and is grateful to be the one playing this song while the train go by. In the article they mention “You know certain things because you can see and perceive them yourself.” He could also be reminiscing to times when he was in war and lost close friends but I think some of the tears can come from happiness. Tears of happiness to final be home with family and friends. So while he playing this song, all his emotions are showing.

Black and White

The image of the Navy man is in Black and White. The photography had a choice to take the photo in black and white because color photography was use around that era. The impact of black and white photography is that it makes the image more dramatic.

Rules of Third.

The photographer uses the rule of third by having the main subject, the Navy man to the front corner of the photo. As he in the front of the front He also has some keys points in the photo by also having optional subjects to the other side.

In or Out Focus

The image is in focus on the main subject of the photo. It’s a sharp image on the Navy man and it helps us see the emotion that is on his face. You can see every detail on his face. The background of the image isn’t as sharp, it’s somewhat soft because its blurry.

I think this a true image. The image presents the happiness of the soccer players and shows on their face. The image brings a lot of joy within myself when looking at the photo and just makes me want to be happy too. The photo wasn’t stage. The photographer was able to take the photo at the perfect time after one of the USA players was able to score a goal. Professor Nordell mention “I wouldn’t want to photography somebody in a way myself I wouldn’t want to be photograph.”  

Keep it Simple

The image is a simple piece. You can tell what exactly is going on in the photo. It doesn’t take much thinking or wondering what the players are doing. We can see that players are happy and rejoicing.

Exposures time

Since the players was moving in the game, the photographer had to freeze the moment to take the picture. The photographer used a fast shutter speed to freeze the players in a moment of celebrating. By doing this we are able to see every expression on the players face. The image has a clear and sharp view to it.

Uses of Shadow

Since the sun was out and was before the photographer he was able to take advantage of the use of shadows in the photo. I think the shadows also put a unique perspective to the image. If the photographer was on the other side of the stadium, the sun will be fighting the camera and he would have to change the settings.

I think this photo is an example of an untrue image. Like they said in a article “Just because a photo looks like photojournalism, doesn’t mean it’s Photojournalism.” I don’t think the photo was caught in the moment of surprise. The subjects in the image pose for the picture and was probably told to not look directly in the camera so it could seem off guard. According to Nordell “Opening doors for the photographs and ideas of views points of photographers from developing nations…. Opening the minds of the individuals of other nations to see the world in a different way”.

We want people to look at these photos and have a different view on it. I still think this was a great taking before the trees but it seems like a Not true image.  

Subject Expression

The three subjects in the photo seem relax. There isn’t much pressure on them while posing for the picture. They don’t look over pose, just more relax and simple. The subjects knew they was getting their picture taking because they photographer don’t seem that far away from there to catch them of guard.

Uses of Line

The photographer took the photo behind tree branches so the tress is covering most of photo with the three subjects behind them. The photographer uses the trees as line in his image. It was very creative to stand behind the tree branches instead of being in the open.

What feeling does the image create

The photo gives off an interesting view, wondering why the photographer chose to stand before the trees. Looking at the photo you can tell it was winter where they at because of the fire pit, no leaves on the tree and the subjects wearing heavy coats. They look like they are in a forest by themselves which gives off a lonely feeling.
