This first picture shows me carrying my small backpack, ready for my first day of Kindergarten. The function of this picture was to provide my family and myself memories of my childhood. It represents the importance of education for younger children; I believe that America values this concept, because of wanting American children to learn about the American culture and subjects in general as well. My parents also see the importance of education, because they wanted my sister and I to learn things and become very creative and knowledgeable about concepts and ideas. It sends the message of how important and enjoyable learning is for everybody. The symbols that are seen here are my smiling, representing happiness in learning and education, my backpack, which typically holds books and school supplies, and my appropriate clothes for going out in public and to school.
The second photo is one of my high school graduation pictures taken by professional photographers, 13 years after my Kindergarten picture. The function of this photo is also to keep memories of important events and accomplish...

The second image reflects the goals of the Southern Poverty Law Center of a diverse group of young people in a judgment-free environment. The shelves in the background suggest they are in a library. Spanning across the entire image makes them the apparent focus of the photo. There are seven girls; three are African American, two from Middle Eastern, and two Caucasian, along with one Indian guy. They are all smiling, casually dressed, and wearing
Various symbols are used in "The Lesson," by Toni Cade Bambara, to represent the social and economic inequality faced by the children in this story. The children, not that they asked for it, are dealt the bad hand by fate. It is up to them to decide what to do about it or even to do anything at all.
Focus, Capture, Develop, and Take another shot are hard concepts to grasp while growing up and maturing. Throughout every obstacle that I have faced whether personally, academically or socially I have had to remember to apply these qualities to my life daily. As a child the one person a girl naturally gravitates toward to be her protector and supporter is her father. I, on the other hand, did not have that experience with mine. My transition from childhood to adulthood began at the age of seven, when I was placed into an unfamiliar and chaotic situation. I had to learn how to capture the essence of life’s gifts in order to cope and thrive. My mom had decided that we would be moving to Texas from California, for a job opportunity she received
I love my family with all my heart, that’s what the hearts represent. My family is always there to support me when I need help and they are always there to pick me up when I’m down, and they always push me to do my best in everything I do. The next symbol are the music notes, I love music. Even though I don’t play any
The picture I chose is a picture of me playing softball. I chose this picture because it shows how determined and committed I am on the softball field which relates to the school me and at home me. The at home me is all about softball and when I play softball I’m very passionate and always have my mind set on doing better and never giving up. The school me is committed to doing my work and getting it all done. I dedicate my time to my school work and also my softball life because I am very devoted to my school and home life. The at home me and school me is very committed because I am dedicated to getting school work done and committed to getting better at softball. In the picture I chose I’m focused just like the school me and at home me.
The photograph contributes to understanding past childhoods. The eight-year-old, Jennie Camillo (captured in the photograph), was
In times, we often see things, but we don't really capture what is beyond it. In some cases, there are people who are artistic and are prone to see what other's cannot visualize. Every individual has a talent which can be expressed and processed differently. Something you see can mean entirely divergent things to someone else;for example, some may see thing's that may seem simple, but in the eyes of an artist, it can be perceived with a whole new definition, dimension, and a potentially new discovery. As a photographer, my view of the world, can be skewed towards looking at everyday objects as potential art, but it wasn't always like that.
What is a photograph? The simplicity of taking a photograph leads many to ponder its artistic value. Yet, it is undeniable that there are some photos that cause an emotional reaction deeper than simply observing a recorded point in time. Surely, there are photographs that cause more reaction than some modern art pieces. There seems to be two types of photographs. The first classification is the ‘time capture’ photo – an image with the sole purpose of recording a particular event or point in time. The second nature of a photo carries a ‘deeper meaning,’ which has the ability to change the observer’s mood and cause a reaction. But what distinguishes these two varieties? There are a couple factors. The first is the ability of the photographer to make a photograph of ‘deeper meaning’ out of an obscure or random scene. The second is the capacity of the viewer, whether viewing the photo in a museum or in the privacy of his/her own room, to interpret the image as art. A photo can be classified as art when the thoughts and interpretations of both the photographer and the viewer overlap. In this case, any photo is taken beyond the simple ‘time capture’ classification.
Every picture taken is unique and is has its own characteristics given to it by its taker. Much like every individual person, each photo has a story and an attitude. All these distinctive qualities are given to the picture by the photographer with a particular purpose. To set up the desired image, there must be proper steps taken in order to insure perfection. The first...
Photojournalism plays a critical role in the way we capture and understand the reality of a particular moment in time. As a way of documenting history, the ability to create meaning through images contributes to a transparent media through exacting the truth of a moment. By capturing the surreal world and presenting it in a narrative that is relatable to its audience, allows the image to create a fair and accurate representation of reality.
In today’s world, photography has become a part of our daily lives. People take photographs of food, c...
Without a doubt, being a highly respected photographer would be my dream career. The type of job that wouldn 't feel like a job because it is one of my favorite hobbies. Growing up I always noticed how much longer I took to take a picture of someone than when they did the same for me. I soon realized that I actually had a passion for getting the right shot that I understood that not every pictures the same and that certain angles made others look better in places. The praise I received for taking a lot of these pictures motivated me. I liked that I hardly ever got told to take these pictures over and I loved that I was always the one chosen to take them time after time. Once I understood that I had this passion for photography I made sure a camera was the first thing on my Christmas list that year. I also knew that there was nothing but room for improvement, so i sought out private lessons which I worked and saved up for.
My educational journey has been like a roller coaster. I have been in the worst spot of my life time. Where I hate going to school but, also think about my father education. My career goal is one of my most important in my life to better myself than I am today tomorrow I will better than yesterdays.
Thesis: It's essential to know your camera’s features and settings if you want to take the best possible photos!
