Why Are Photos Effective
The photos that are given are very emotional photos from the past and present. The photos make me feel a certain way. The pictures in the story also made me react differently then I thought I would. Lastly I thought the photos would be different then they were. Henceforth the photos are very effective for the readers in many ways.

These photos make me feel sympathy for the people there were involved in the Holocaust because they were judged on because of their race and forced through pain and death for no reason. Most people that were killed were innocent and did nothing but they had to go to the concentration camps that were shown in the photos on the website. To me this is heartbreaking, and I honestly do not know why anyone would hate someone

    First off, I will explain why I have chosen the pictures on my collage. One of the most important pictures is of the maze, or the labyrinth, which represents the line, “How will we ever get out of this labyrinth of suffering?” that Alaska Young often uses. As the labyrinth is a symbol for life, we see her escape the labyrinth when she dies in a car accident. Another very meaningful symbol is the question mark on my collage that represents “the Great Perhaps”, or a defining moment in life,…

    Though capturing visuals of an object may enhance any project, when including a personal belief or background story towards the main item, it helps the buyer and the seller create a personal connection towards the sneakers. There was this mutual connection when he would state his opinion on how capitalism was is being managed by big American corporations. Just by seeing that statement, it instantly created a bond between John and me. When he had stated that those sneakers were one of the last American crafted Converse, the need to purchase them increased because of the way he scripted its authenticity. Although it may seem accessible to judge an object by viewing photographs, skimming through a detailed definition of the article doubtlessly heightens the influence of the…

    If one is to look at a photo of the incident at Kent State they would realize that is actually what happened there at that point. The picture does not leave out any detail because it is like a visual that will stay for a long period of time and cannot be easily manipulated to get one to believe something. This is also seen in pictures from Vietnam. The world was the way it was in the picture and did not limit anything. This conveys that photos do not limit our view of the world like Sontag…

    There exist many factors one might both examine and manipulate in order to create a photograph that creates more appeal and emotional impact than an image that has simply been “snapped”. I will consider several of these variables in an examination of a photograph of a military ceremony. The photographer in this instance took several steps to bring this image to life through careful and specific creation of composition elements, the use of a narrow lens, and focus manipulation.…

    Dorothea Lange Analysis

    My first impression of this photo is that it is sad but shows the conditions that many Americans faced during this time. Something that I like about this photo is that all three people are in focus, but the main subject is the mother. I also like that it is bright and taken in an actual place people spent time. Something that I dislike is the feeling of sorrow it makes me feel when I look at it. This portrait evokes very raw emotion and shows the her strength because she is having to take care of her children and provide a place to live for them through the hard time. This photo is properly focused because all three subjects are in focus and it does not have unintentional blur. The color makes the photo more dramatic and better shows that they are suffering. I think she used the correct exposure because it is very bright and does not show any unwanted shadows throughout. She used balance in this photo because there is a child on both sides of her. She also used the rules of thirds because the children are on the sides of her which are where the lines would intersect. The main thing I like about this photo is the emotion that is shows and how you can know what they are feeling just by their facial expression. Overall I think this picture did exactly what Lange wanted it to do, it created sympathy for those who were…

    An image can have a power effect on a viewer’s mind even images that we might not know what happen can trigger emotions inside of us back to that moment. Our minds start to wonder what happened or what didn’t happen. In Barbie Zelizer’s “The Voice of The Visual in Memory” she addresses how images can play a role in a person’s collective memory. Collective memory is the memory that people share about events that happened in the past. People use images on the internet, books, magazines, newspapers etc, because images capture specific moments in time that we can always look back on and see that day again. Zelizer explains how images have the ability to suspend an event midway at its most powerful moment.…

    Museum of Tolerance

    The whole story of the Holocaust is a very sad and depressing. When you first enter the museum, each person is given a passport with a picture of a child on it. Each child was involved in the Nazi rule and had their life forever altered because of it. As you go through the exhibits, you learn about the child and what happens to them throughout the Holocaust. At the end of this exhibit, you put your passport into a machine, and it tells you what happened to the child that you had. The one that I had was only six years old, and she didn't make it. There is one exhibit that is called "The Hall of Testimony". This is where you can hear the stories of the Holocaust survivors. There are also artifacts and documents that this museum withholds. It has actual copies of letters from Anne Frank. It's amazing that there are actual real documents that were able to be saved from this time. There are also images of the bunk beds that people were ordered to sleep in while they were in the death camps. The living conditions weren't by any standard, reasonable. The whole section of the museum made me appreciate the life that I live.…

    I was able to visit the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center. There I learned about two photographers name Andre Bradley and Paul Anthony Smith, it was a very interesting experience as I began to look at each photo and description I noticed that both Andre and Paul's photography was similar in the sense that their photos are a balance between hardship and family. They both photograph personal experiences of their life and motives. When I first walked into the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center it was super quiet and the only one there was the receptionist. I began to look at the walls and I noticed a photo that immediately caught my attention. I began to look at the photo and think to myself this photo looks like it was taken with a cellphone, but then…

    This shows how low the guards in the camps treated the Jews. They treated them like animals; they treated them as if they were not selves. The whole experience was extremely dehumanizing. I have never experienced anything so horrific in my lifetime but I have been through a dehumanizing affair. I was in high school when many of the boys would make comments about my womanly features in a derogatory fashion. Although they were just being playful and possibly trying to flirt, god-forbid, I would tell them off or sometimes just ignore it but it made me realize how insignificant those boys were and how that's not all I was. I was and still am more than the derogatory terms they would call me. It pointed out more important things like intellect, and intelligence instead of physical image. It also made them look like animals. The primal concern for animals is pleasure and survival, the same for rational animals but they also strive for success, and finally people, our primary motivation in our lives is the search for meaning. That is…
