What is the potential of photography?
Q: How can a photograph become more than just an image?
A: I think that a photograph, although it is a image, can become a statement. I believe that it becomes a photographers opinion on a certain situation, event or place. Also, I think that a picture can be seen through the photogrpahers eyes, at the point time. The picture explains how the photographer sees the setting.
Q:What afffect does size or scale have on the power of a photograph?
A: I think that the the size and scale of the subject of a photograph is what makes it powerful. I think that powerful photographs have a small subject with a detailed, large background, or a large subject with a not a detailed background. I think that these two scales make the viewer pay attention to the real meaning of te photograph.
Q:How does location and context change the way we precieve and understand photographs?
A: The context and location of a photograph, I believe is what makes or breaks a photograph. With a strong background, it helps the viewer understand what is going on in the situation. The stronger the background or context, is what makes the overall picture stronger.
Q:What can you take from JR's photographs to make your images stronger? How might your pictures become more impactful?
A: I think that I can take the essence of a strong theme for a group of pictures from JR's photographs. In many of his projects, he uses one idea and carries it throughout mutiple pictures. I think that by taking this idea of one strong theme for a few pictures will make my projects stronger and will make my overall projects stronger.

For my depth of field project, I decidedto use tickets as my main focus. Originally I thought that I could use the place I saw whatever the ticket was refering to in the background, but I found that that was not always possible. So, for some of these pictures I used objects refering back to the thing I saw. I had alot fo fun with this project because while I was taking these pictures it reminded me of the specific event the tickes represent, and who I spent that time with. These tickets remind me fun times I have had with my friends and family.

Photographer report
1. Stephen Shore
2. October 8, 1947
3.Stephen Shore was interested in photography from a young age. It started at age six when he received his first dark room kit. From then on he photographed different things when finally he sold three of his photographs to the curator of the MoMA. More recently, he has been working on a project called "American Surfaces" which is basically a collection of photographs that Shore had taken from 1972-1973 on his multiple road trips around America.
4. Shore's artwork focuses on color photography, in natural everyday places. Many photographers look up to his color photos for inspiration. Many of his photographs are taken while he was on vacation around the United States, and in other countries. Shore chooses a viewpoint facing a vertical. Also Shore uses a heavy, difficult to set up camera to take pictures. Shore does a great job of taking pictures of the obvious and by using color photos, he makes it seem like the viewer is at the place where the picture was taken. Shore also uses natural light to add shadows which dramatizes the structure as a whole.
5. Stephen Shores photographs caught my eyes because of their bright colors. As I started to look through his photographs I loved the way Shore captured buildings and regular places that people go to every day and sometimes overlook. His photographs are great because he uses color to emphasize the places he photographing. I think that he captures places that people go to everyday and helps those people remember how important that place can be. Also his use of natural light makes shadows appear which makes his pictures look even more dramatic and important.
