DT 27.1 Editing Portraits

AT 21.1 Hybrid Photography

During the Spring Break I shot a roll of color film themed "people". Below are a few photos from the roll.

Pecker

I was really enjoying the beginning of this movie because Pecker sort of reminded me of myself. I’m the type of person that would always carry a camera and photograph people around me. But my opinion quickly changed. The story line wasn’t so bad. It was just the humor that I really didn’t enjoy. There were some scenes that were funny but other scenes were just vulgar.

One Hour Photo

One word to describe this movie is, creepy. Sy, the photo technician who is the main character in the movie had good intentions by exposing a cheating husband to Nina (the wife), but ended up turning into a psycho during the end. He got obsessed and it seemed like he got too emotionally attached to the photos he was viewing and printing out.

This movie wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t one of my favorites. I’ll definitely think twice when I pick up prints and wonder what they really do with my photos.

Manufactured Landscapes

This was an excellent movie! The director did a great job of getting the message across about how humans are affecting the natural state of the earth. The images were breath taking. I was amazed at how the photographer was able to make the unpleasant scenes look so stunning and beautiful.

I also liked the fact that the end of the movie had no actually ending, which me wonder… What happened to the largest dam being built? What happened to the city that was being torn down? What happened to the woman that didn’t want to leave her home?
