If you have been to a concert in recent years, you have likely noticed the abundance of people capturing the event on their smartphones. It has become a common practice for fans who want to capture their favorite artists, yet both artists and audience members find it annoying. Apple is seeking to address the issue, but not by encouraging iPhone users to not use their devices; rather, they will try to prevent cameras from being accessed altogether. The technology giant was granted a patent for a

I am in need of financial assistance in order to attend IBC College because I am a low-income student. I was laid off my job in May making it very difficult to find a job without any schooling. I had worked as a Photojournalist for over 22 years, working for several News Stations like, KDBC TV, UNIVISION, KFOX TV, KTSM TV and also working in other cities like Las Vegas and Austin, TX. The way the industry is working right now is by far disappointing, they are slowly getting rid of Photographers and

Description Dorothea Lange creates a work of art using her camera. This black and white photograph from the depression era portrays the struggle of motherhood while in a destitute state. This photograph would be much different if the value was altered. Using black and white with the photograph represents the depression that overcame society at this time. The intensity the photographer reveals would alter if the photo was in color. The focal point is the women’s hand on the lower corner of her

The Hidden Truth When the subject of eating disorders comes up it is mostly teenage girls or women that are put in the spotlight. People focus on the modeling and advertising industries by calling them out for the unhealthy image they create for young women, even though it is well known that most if not all their images are photoshopped. The implied message of most advertisements raising awareness for eating disorders is that women are the only one that suffer from them. Based on the visualization

Photography offers perspective into a world that harbors a unilateral view of the life surrounding it. When examined in intricate detail, a photo would serve to aid in a person’s learning process. It provides new insights; introducing foreign locations and ideas to those who may have never seen them otherwise. The human brain is not being limited knowledge when it analyzes a photo. To limit knowledge would be like observing the world only through photographs. Susan Sontag’s claim of photography limiting

Before photography impacted the European world, many people thought that use of a bulky camera was trivial. Not until later in the 19th century did people give the idea of photography a chance. Photography was a significant innovation in European History because it allowed individuals to see the disarray that occurred in the world, gave light to the growing improvement of technology, and assisted photographers in capturing priceless scenes. Prior to the use of photography, paintings, drawings, and

In his groundbreaking book The Image, historian Daniel Boorstin described how our culture had created “a thicket of unreality which stands between us and the facts of life.”2 Taken together, telegraphy, photography, radio, cinema, and television brought forth the pseudo-event, an occurrence staged to call attention to itself. Boorstin was not just concerned with the now-familiar “photo-op” or “media event.” He put his finger on a much larger problem. Americans not only confused the copy with the

The Invisible IDPs and their Silent Cry Today my day went off with a bad start. Tears rolled down on my cheek inadvertently as I was browsing images of frightened IDPs. Two images that attracted my attention were that malnourished mothers who were sitting helplessly in the rubble and young IDP children climbing in trees. Families are now no place else to go. The sad story is the government soldiers bulldozed their makeshift camps mercilessly without notice and by force. The stories remind me of

Photography “Photography is a word derived from the Greek words photos (‘light’) and graphein (‘to draw’) The word was first used by the scientist Sir John F.W. Herschel in 1839. It is a method of recording images by the action of light, or related radiation, on a sensitive material” (Bellis 1). Photography has been around for quite a few years. It has evolved from a pinhole camera, to a flexible film camera, and now to digital cameras, but it is slowly being replaced by cellphones and isn’t pursued
