It was interesting how you talked about the changes in opinion of photography. Actually, I've read an article on Julia Margaret Cameron's "fancy-subject", which featured costumed sitters arranged in often dramatic scenes from sources such as the bible, Shakespeare, and mythology. Essentially, the author argued that the use of photography gave the images a certain charm and how what the viewer is looking at is really a "housemaid" dressed as Guinevere or a regular man dressed as John the Baptist, but never truly what they are portraying. Furthermore, the author argued that theater is able transcend the actor's self, but photography can not. Finally, the author pointed out the "truth" in the photographs, such as a drapery used as "water". It's
Julia Butterfly Hill is an environmentalist and stands up for what she believes is right. Hill is most commonly known for her 738 day tree sit in Luna. By living in a tree for over 2 years hill protested against the clear cutting of the redwood forest. Butterfly, a name given to her from the earth first! Group, sought to prevent deforestation, show the media the PL’s disregard for the environment and educate the public about the role forests play in landslides. She became the founder of the organization The circle of life.
The author’s article I have reviewed was Julia Preston. Ms. Preston is a former Mexican Correspondent who has also covered the federal courts. Ms. Preston currently works as the National Immigration Correspondent at the New York Times. In her article she goes into detail about immigrants and whether or not they are taking jobs from Americans and lowering wages by working for less. In addition, she provides a few words spoken by both the Republic nominee Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Trump promises to cut back legal immigration with new controls by saying he would” boost wages and ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.” Mrs. Clinton however believes that immigrants contribute

The photograph is a very powerful medium. The French painter Paul Delaroche exclaimed upon seeing an early photograph “from now on, painting is dead!” (Sayre, 2000). Many critics did not take photography seriously as a legitimate art form until the 20th century. With the
As early as mid-nineteenth century, astute observers were anticipating the consequences of the Graphic Revolution. Before the Civil War, a young Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in The Atlantic Monthly that the advent of photography would separate form from reality. He said the “image would become more important than the object itself, and would in fact make the object disposable.”3
Using a conceptual and practical framework to approach this research, I will compare various scholarly sources to reinterpret the existing ideologies of photography as an art form. This research partly falls under a practical approach, as it largely relies on my own creative experimentation with various mediums that combine both photography and art. This is crucially important, as it will take abstract concepts of photography as an art form and contextualize them into tangible experimentations for further analysis and interpretation. Within the conceptual analysis, I will use a visual analysis format to compare works from established artists that use photography in their pieces, as well as compare and contrast methods to establish a reinterpreted viewpoint on this subject matter.
Grown children have more moral duties towards their parents as compared to their friends and should value the traditions which require them to spend time with their friends.
The dangerous and complicated chemistry of early photography gave way to its practitioners being pseudo scientist-artists, testing metal salts and taking pictures without any particular concerns outside of reproducing nature to the most accurate degree. In not fitting neatly into either category, recognition of photography as art was especially laughable by the people of the 19th century, and did not improve as the technology developed. Even more detrimentally, by the early 1890s with the establishment of The Eastman Kodak Company, photography exploded into a fad that put portable cameras and accessible photo development into the hands of the public, applying greater amounts of stress to the artists who were fiercely trying to defending the medium as an artform. Most famously within this debate, three photographers from the era rose to give similar, yet different, contentions for the aspects of photography which could establish it as being art.
The photography was considered as a documentary medium because of the replicas of the subject when it appeared 150 years ago. The technologically advanced cameras and development of photojournalism led to the development of realistic photos. Those photographs were considered a witnesses of reality as they expose the facts of life (Mullen 6). Gradually, manipulation in photography was looked upon to necessary to display the subject accurately. This was because the event was not clear in photographs at times. Thus, the photographer was compelled at times to edit those images.
Flip through the pages of today’s fashion magazines and you will notice a more relaxed, natural looking subject. Compare those images with today’s portrait studios, and you will notice a stiffly posed subject in front of a neutral background.
For me, photography is dead. A picture has become not a photograph but a computer generated image produced from an input by a person. Nowadays people rely on technology to remember for them which creates a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences, photos are being manipulated in order to achieve desirable results, and new age photographers believe they hold the perception that professional photographers have. Ever since technology exploded photography has simply lost it’s soul.
Photography has the ability to both expand and limit human vision due to its ability to capture human behavior on film, providing proof that events have taken place. This medium provides people with access to images they may have never been introduced before, allowing them to see things they may never see in their everyday life. However, because a picture only captures what is being shown to the camera, it can take away the context needed to fully understand the story behind the photo, blinding audiences to the truth.
Photography has hugely influenced the world we live in and has changed the way we see things. Since the invention of the camera, every major moment in modern history has been documented and captured on film. For example, when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, a camera was there to show people celebrating and families reuniting. Similarly, when the passenger airship Hindenburg was destroyed after catching fire in 1937, a camera was there to capture the moment.
When evaluating the elements of the performance management cycle in Figure 9-1 and reading the case study on DineEquity’s, I believe that CEO Julia Stewart utilized two out of the three process steps from the performance improvement cycle. The first step she used during her visit to several restaurant was the feedback/coaching step and then the Rewards/positive reinforcement process. Stewart embraced the opportunity to praise her employees for their effort in performance for doing a great job, while also taking that same opportunity using it to coach other employees based off on one employee’s performance. Julia Stewart is a good role model for how to generate employee’s engagement and motivate the employees in her company’s restaurants. She
Although photography became acknowledged as a legitimate form of artistic pursuit by the early part of the 20th century, photography was considered a minor art form. This level was regardless of photography’s significant impact on perception and visual culture. Instead, the evaluation was premised on the fact that photography, as a medium had no historical precedent, and if any parallel was to be drawn, the parallel would be with that of printmaking. From the point of view of the Academy of Art, art was fixed in concept and form, because art reflects the values that are eternal. While this position allowed for the emergence of new styles, which were historically contingent on one another, it did not readily allow for new forms and media.
