Artists Assignment
What part of the photo do you look at first? Does your eye move around the photo?
Tone is important in this photo, as it defines the man and sets him apart from the background. The first thing i noticed in the picture was the man's face and his expression. my eyes moved around the piture, but only the top half.
5. What emotional impact does this photo invoke?
For me, this photo makes me feel happy. I actually feel how this man seems to feel. it makes me happy that he's so content with a life that most people would hate.
6. Diane switched from a 35mm Nikon camera which produced grainy rectangular images to a twin-lens reflex Rolleiflex camera which produced more detailed square images.
7. She took black and white pictures.
Other photographers, Jim Zuckerman, Carol Popp de Szathmari, Mark Klett.
