Artist's Statement
If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
Any photograph I take I want one to dissect their own imagination, searching within themselves the story the picture tells, to draw out ones imagination. To taste the substance of what the photograph is, what they hear and feel from the image. To not just look at the picture, but to actually see it, and understand it under their own terms. I want someone to look at my art and wonder, what’s just up those stairs, just beyond the ajar door, or what magic is at hand.
A picture is more than just a piece of time captured within a light-sensitive emulsion, it is an experience one has whose story is told through an enchanting image. I photograph the world in the ways I see it. Every curious angle, vibrant color, and abnormal subject makes me think, and want to spark someone else’s thought process. The photographs in this work were not chosen by me, but by the reactions each image received when looked at. If a photo was merely glanced at or given a casual compliment, then I didn’t feel it was strong enough a work, but if one was to stop somebody, and be studied in curiosity, or question, then the picture was right to be chosen.
My mind is constantly taking in situations frame by frame, whether its zooming in on a minute detail, or soaking in the grander view. I always bring things down to a picturesque perspective. I’m not expressing myself, in terms, the world is expressing itself through me.
Having such an image before our eyes, often we fail to recognize the message it is trying to display from a certain point of view. Through Clark’s statement, it is evident that a photograph holds a graphic message, which mirrors the representation of our way of thinking with the world sights, which therefore engages other
Mckenny is from Wilkes-Barre, pennsylvania. After dropping out of college he went and bought a professional grade camera. He self taught himself through youtube videos and experimentation. He goes out into the forest and takes all kinds of pictures ranging from burning people, drowning people, burying people and ghosts. He uses models for some of these pictures but the ghosts he can do using only himself and a white sheet. “I like taking away identity when photographing and to leave people thinking. I only make the photos I do to express myself and what other people see or think is up to them.” he explains. “I don’t like to give people an identity; I like to focus on the story, not the person.” (McKenney) Analysing other peoples art is important as an artist because it makes them form a stronger creative process and inspires them to make more art.
Gregory Crewdson once said “I love the experience of cinema- being enveloped in a complete world of another’s imagination. I love the quality of film- how it can capture so richly the color and light of a scene. And I love photography - for what it leaves unsaid for it is from this that we can start to spin our own imagination.” Crewdson accomplishes the both the most intriguing and frustrating aspect of art; he poses a question yet refuses to reveal the answer. It is the unanswerable question that leads the viewer to study the work and spend hours contemplating its meaning.
I’ve always wondered how a single image could show a beautiful lie or a horrific truth of any picture taken. No picture can be considered obvious. My mind is always thinking about the many different perspectives that one picture can bring. That’s why I enjoy taking photos that captures the many mysteries of life. I would love to live life as a photographer.
Most photographers have a statement in mind and look for a picture that expresses it. Erwitt observes what life wants to say and then records it so others can hear. For me this is what photography is about. I believe a scene should inspire you not be staged. Like Erwitt’s work I try to take pic...
In the word of Gordon Parks, “I feel it is the heart, not the eyes that should determine the content of the photograph. What the eye see is its own what the heart can perceive is a very different matter” (qtd. in “Picture quotes”). Most viewer only views the images throw their eyes and they thought they could get the meaning of it. However, some photographs cannot be understood just by visual. For instance, Ice cream parlor, Blind River, Ontario captured in 1955by Parks. This photograph required the heart to be understood the narrative, messages, surprise and significant of the photograph. Parks’s photo should be
When planning and implementing a health management information system (HMIS), especially from the ground up, health systems privacy must be one of the most fundamental aspects to consider. Limiting assigned access, restraining the ability for the layperson or end user to access information outside of their scope, and ensuring that should breaches occur, they can be tracked and limited. Involvement at a systems’ beginning allows the opportunity to work with the team in creating built-in privacy measures.
When shooting a picture with the intent of causing emotion, making an impact, or sending a message, considering how the viewer will digest the visuals is an important part of the process. From framing and exposure, to colour and editing, everything comes together to make the image. A good example of this is the famous “Migrant Mother” photograph by Dorothea Lange. At first look when viewing, the eyes are drawn to the only face visible face, that of the mother. Her expression and posture express some of her internal thoughts, and her attire along with the smudged blanket show she isn’t of higher class. Looking to the other two people in the image, the children, we see them hiding their faces and taking comfort from their parent. This all serves
Use of computers poses a new challenge for privacy. Privacy is a state of mind, specific place freedom from intrusion or control over the exposure of self of personal information (Czar, 2013). In this day and age, many new rules come into play on how to protect the privacy of the patient. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the importance of ethical use and the unethical issues faced with the use of technology, as well as the impact of specific and a broad range legislation on information technology.

On its surface, a picture is simply a snapshot of the moment in time. However, when analyzed for the beauty and eloquence that could exist within a photo, a simple picture can turn into so much more. It can become a story. A story with the ability to extend far beyond the focal length of aany camera. It can become a story truly worth a thousand words. Josh Haner of the New York Times wrote a beautiful, harrowing story about Boston bomb survivor Jeff Bauman through a photo series in his 2014 feature photography Pulitzer Prize winning piece.
“I wanted my photographs to be as powerful as the last thing a person sees or remembers before death" Joel-Peter Witkin (Marino, Joel-Peter Witkin: An Objective Eye).
Kawauchi is simultaneously very conscious of that which is ephemeral in the world. And so her photographs often allow us to experience the aura of quiet beauty, poetry, and transience simultaneously. Perhaps each of her photographs is also a short poem, a haiku, which always also speaks of the nuances of colors and light. When Kawauchi begins a new photography project, everything remains wide open: no subject, no aim guides her. Then she sets off on her journey with a Rolleiflex 6x6, and sometimes with a digital camera, too, and is guided only by her intuition. And yet Kawauchi does not design this phase according to the laws of coincidence, because, in her view, intuition is fed from the subconscious, which she believes connects
Health care and research are no longer two different paths, but instead because the emphasis on reducing cost and increasing quality outcomes they are converging to make a LHCS. With the introduction of LHCS’s, research and treatment will converge into a new way of managing patient data. Expansion of technology and increased patient involvement in their health care will continue to create the need to reassess what privacy and confidentiality look like to the patient, researcher, practitioner, health plan and other business
"A picture can paint a thousand words." I found the one picture in my mind that does paint a thousand words and more. It was a couple of weeks ago when I saw this picture in the writing center; the writing center is part of State College. The beautiful colors caught my eye. I was so enchanted by the painting, I lost the group I was with. When I heard about the observation essay, where we have to write about a person or thing in the city that catches your eye. I knew right away that I wanted to write about the painting. I don’t know why, but I felt that the painting was describing the way I felt at that moment.
