Re:video

I thought the video was both depressing and fun. It really showed how much power photography has in the media as well as the negative effects it can have because of that. Personally i can't stand the media (for the most part) but I will say I don't see much actual value in these pictures being used in the media unless they have some good message to use???? Photography definitely has a dark manipulative side..... But I do believe that it can be used to put good messages out there to not exactly shape public opinion but to maybe inform? But over all I think it was just testifying to the power of photography on us, for better or for worse

 us walking towards the U.S Mexico border.

 When you see these people looking on what do you feel? what emotion do you get that words cant speak?

 what does this wall tell you? seeing the enclosure as opposed to hearing about it leaves a much bigger impact. can you put yourself in that situation? you would probably assume it is hard and it reminds them of how much greener the grass is on the other side.

last but not least. what impression/impact does this leave on you that words can not say? seeing where someone either cut or poured acid on the wall in order to break through really shows how others feel about it.




Photography has an insaely huge impact in the media. it leaves the biggest impact. you allways hear about celebrity divorces or a ship crashing and so on. the article itself leaves quite an impact but once you actually see the ship submerged or the angry couple holding their children walking off it doesnt really hit you. a photo tells a thousand words and will hit you more personally then anything else.

 emphasis: there is a dominant object or thing that immediately catches the eye. (the crane) if you see anything else first please consult a doctor ;)

 symetry : it simply means that the visual weight of the photographic elements are equally distributed on both sides of the imaginary central axis in a photograph.

unity:the over all arrangment of the photographic elements in a regular and consistent manner.

does this mean more pictures? :D
