First day of class

Posted by Codejoy Wed, 23 Jan 2008 22:46:00 GMT

vanity_fair_sopranos So my first photography class did not go the full length it was supposed to (12pm-6pm). We got out early and it was a nice introduction to the dark room, what the class is about the inner workings of the camera etc. I even learned something, what a range-finder camera is specifically. It was a good class and our first assignment was "Found Photo". That is we are supposed to bring in a photo that evokes emotion for us and talk about it. The photo I am kicking around is this one. I am not a fan of Annie just cause shes on top, but she is good. This photo is awesome and it made me realize that vanity fairs covers are always top notch. What I like about this photo is the fact that you have two cold hearted criminals on the cover with this beautiful woman as a stark contrast to them. The kicker to me is the fact that the lighting is rather warm (Without being overly warm) one would expect it to be a colder color cast, so I wonder what she is saying about these cold gangsters, is it that they are really not as bad as they seem? We all did see the last episode though right? EDIT: I had misread the assignment to be a photo we liked technically, and then I wrote here how it was to be evoke a feeling. Then I realized that the assignment really did state to show something that evokes emotion. So this image doesn't make sense for the real assignment. Will be posted the new image I choose soon...

    Congrats on your first day! I'm super jealous, and hope to weasel a spot in a class at UW too. I'm looking at the photo from an emotional POV (probably since I'm taking a Womens Studies class - ha!). While it's technically brilliant, it actually makes me a bit angry how non-responsive his face is, despite this naked woman on his lap. Like it doesn't matter, he's the mother effing king. Then again, I didn't watch the show :)
