Reflection of Readings

Photo-Ops:

This reading covers photography from all perspectives. It provides the reader with the idea that beauty is all around us, and taking a photograph can capture that essence. When you approach the photograph from different angles and point of views it can allow the viewer to interpret the photograph differently. Exploration can only improve a photographer’s experience. The basic techniques talked about in this reading provide the perfect in site to the world of photography

Chapter 2:

This reading really reminded me of my History of Photography class that I took last semester. We talked a lot about photography and how it was a struggle to become an art form. I find it interesting that photography really did serve its purpose of documenting, but that evolved into an art form through experimentation. The line between documentary and art photography is often blurred for example I can think of Robert Frank, who documented the back roads of America. I can also see his photography as an art. He chose to photography non-stereotypical American, by turning the camera way from the norms of the American society.

Parts of the Letter Reflection

Typography originated by hand which can be defined as a series of marks that construct a letterform. I find it very interesting to think about the inventors of the fonts we use today. Something as common as Times New Roman is use so frequently it is interesting that most never stop to realize that the font originated at the tip of someone's pencil or pen. Typography has evolved over the years greatly. Now we can search the internet for new and better fonts. It is also interesting to me that each letter form has specific parts that can be identified and separated from other fonts. Each part of a letter form together to make a swift visual flow for the viewers eye.
