I’ve been fascinated with with the arts my entire life, I was drawn to the emotion that can be produced without any words. I tried my hand at mediums such as painting, sculpting, sketching and many more. My passion soon grew when I got my first camera, I never thought that photography could be a tool for art and could tell such powerful stories. I always saw them as objects just for taking tacky family photos but, my mindset soon changed when I saw new world beauty through the lens of the camera
Late elementary school afternoons at 2601 Parkside Drive were where my thirst for exploring the world’s clandestine beauties blossomed into something new. Whilst others engrossed themselves in competitive foursquare and portable video games, I immersed myself in sketching images of places I dreamt of visiting. All I needed was a pencil in my hand, a picturesque landscape on my mind, and my Canson sketchbook on the table. The possibilities were then endless. Slowly, the tabula rasa of this book filled
I found great meaning in the essay “Learning and Identity: What does it mean to be a Half-Elf ?”, by James Paul Gee. After reading through Gee’s analysis of video games I was particularly drawn to the connection he made with learning in the classroom. I feel that the projective identity (picturing what one would like to be in a given role) is critical to learning, as is learning at the threshold between one’s boundaries and beyond.

I’ve struggled during the years of my college career trying to uncover my passion. During my summer class, I mapped out my interests.

how photography has evolved and how it can be used? This essay will investigate the work of contemporary photographer Tim Walker, and historical photographer Ansel Adams. This essay will examine the many changes of how photography has evolved through the decades from the photographer’s style, use of equipment, techniques and what photography is used for. These changes will be seen by looking at the contemporary photographer and comparing them to the historical photographer. Photography is a
Eugene Meatyard Argument: The Photographic Unconscious In his article "Photographie avant analyse"1 photography critic François Soulages discusses the reciprocal influence between photography (as an emerging technology in the nineteenth century) and the study of the unconscious (prior to the invention of psychoanalysis). To what extent, he asks, did a new technology such as photography enlighten, modify, or enrich the understanding of the unconscious? And, conversely, how did what he calls
“I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions.” In this essay I aim to address the question how does Sebastiao Salgardo’s activist photography reflect against media journalism? I will be looking into a brief history of the movement of activist photography and will also looking into Sebastian’s background.
