I love to take pictures. I am sure that there are many who do, but one thing I lacked in my photographing is the meaning behind why I was taking the picture. It is true that anyone can take a picture, but not everyone can create artwork our of that picture.
After the reading and being in this class for the past few weeks, I now understand and agree with the fact that a photo should be able to tell a story, rather than just look like a nice composition. We must pay close attention to the detail that is involved with the shot that we are taking. We must ensure the clarity of the picture and express the importance of the point we are trying to get across with the picture. Every detail, to include how the film is processed is relative to the outcome of a viewer's point of view of a picture: edges, orientation, framing, balance, hierarchy, and so forth.
The main thing that caught my attention about the article was simply the amount of time that one has to put into getting the right visual of the message they are trying to convey with the picture. I believe pictures should show a timeline.
