Assignment #23 Part 1-Idea: Can A Wrapped Object Be Art?

Can a Wrapped Object Be Art?


Idea 1:
       My first idea is to basically wrap fruits in a fruit basket. I want to take wither a wire or a regular basket and wrap different fruits and put it in there. I want to use fruits that people can easily identify like pears, bananas, apples (kind of), and oranges. If I take the photo with a wire basket, I would take an almost straight on angle. With a regular angle I would take it from a bird's eye view. But I also plan to incorporate another of those same fruits but unwrapped. I want to take this on a white background. Lastly, I would wrap the fruits in paper (preferable brown paper bag paper) so I can watch shadows on the white background.


Idea 2: 
       My second idea is to take some kind of glass or vase  and wrap it in newspaper or cloth. If I wrapped it in cloth, I would spread the cloth around to get some kind of "melting" feel. And then pour some kind of liquid that would be associated with that glass. Like I did a mug, I would pour coffee (inspired by Sam's photo "Sunday Morning(?)" <-- I forgot the name), if it was a wine glass, I would pour wine- I MEAN GRAPE JUICE BECAUSE THIS IS A CATHOLIC SCHOOL AND WE DON'T PROMOTE DRINKING. But you get the jist. I want to take this on a white background but we will see what happens.

My Photos:  Technical: Exposure- 1/320 sec    F Stop: f/8  ISO: 800 Technical: Exposure:1/320 sec     F Stop: f/8   ISO: 100 Technical: Exposure: 1/320 sec    F Stop: f/8  ISO: 800 Technical: Exposure: 1/320 sec    F Stop: f/8  ISO: 100 Online:  by, Scott A. 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 #6: How do you See Polar Opposites?

Black and White          When I started brainstorming ideas for this concept, I had a lot of other options. But in the end, this concept of black and white hands really spoke to me (the deadline spoke to me too).  But I really dug this concept. My original idea was to just paint the hands and have it under the contrasting color background. That evolved to having the contrasting color drip down the hand. Putting these photos in lightroom allowed me to intensify colors and clarity which brought my idea to reality and I am really happy about it.

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 well) was the part about the leopard seal. THAT WAS SO CUTE! The photograph
