Assignment #19: It's So Surreal

Title: It's a Virtual Reality



What is the difference between real and surreal?
            Real means that it looks real and it actually is. As in it is tangible and an actual thing. Something that is surreal looks real but is not.

What does it mean when someone says "It's so SURREAL!"
            I, honestly, do not know. I think it is just another form of saying something along the lines of "that's so cool" or "no way!". 

Surreal Photo (that's not mine #1)

This is Erik Johansson's photo. I don't know the title. But I really like it because of the concept. I like the idea that we could just paint a place we wanted to go and step through it. This photo came from an article and I read through it to see how it was put together... and he was committed. There was a lot that he put into this. The lighting is also really nice and it transitions from the living room to the grasslands really well. I think this photo is beyond well done. 

2nd photo:

Photo by Kevin Corrado. I really like this photo mostly because of the shapes of the trees. And the arms coming out is really cool. The figure in the middle almost matches the shape of the rock. I honestly do not know why I like it so much, it it's just really cool.

McDaniel I like this photo because I can see all the ice on the chain- from the tiny ball-looking ones to the sharp icicle looking ones. The clarity of the chain and ice looks really good and pleasing to the eye against the green, blurry background. I also like the light and brightness of this photo.

Assignment #24: TED Talk

David Griffin Brief Summary:            David Griffin, the photo director of National Geographic, gave a TED talk that touches on looking at photography in a new way. He covered different the different situations and conditions that other accomplished photographers have captured. Some of these included slums, underwater, people, animals, etc. One interesting point he said was that "Everyone has at least one or two great photographs in them." He spoke about the stories around the world that were told through photos. Through his TED talk, Griffin showed the world the different ways to look at photography.             Thoughts:          I think this is one of the most interesting and engaging TED talks I have ever watched. David Griffin is a cool guy. I feel like he touched all the points of his shpeel with grace and good flow. My favorite part (which is probably everyone else's as ...
