Week 2
September 8th, 2010

●If your pictures are not coming out good enough, then you are not close enough.
-- this is both emotionally and physically. You need to know something about your subject for the shot to turn out well.

Icons: They symbolize something
● Pictures can become cliche too
● Photographers can become emotionally distraught depending on the kind of work they do.
● If you want good pictures, you need to arrive early and stay late.
● Think in the five dimensions
-- height
-- width
-- depth
-- time
-- imagination

● Sunlight is very intense, the skylight is about 1/4 as intense
● Avoid mergers in photographs
● Small group og photographers speaking out -- also a tiny aperture
● You should explore relationships within your photographs
● Your lead photo in your photo story should be showing a key activity and telling the reader something

Some of the important concepts to focus on:
● Five dimensions
● Weather
● Subject
● Composition

Thoughts:
This week we learned some more about concepts in photographs. I found it interesting to see how much emotions is in some photographs and how connected the photographers can be. I look forward to seeing how I am connected with more of the work I do in this class.
