self portrait

   

The symbolism in this photo is what i see as weird. most people that will see this photo will say why, maybe thats the meaning behind the photo, why...?.in this photo im covering up my face and am using an x-ray type filter, so why...?, why am i doing this . To me symbolism plays a huge part in the way you read a photo and it gives you a message. so what is the message of this photo? its not as much a message as it is a explanation. in my eyes this photo speaks to the world. in this photo im representing our outer layer. you dont have to agree with me but i belive when we go to school we put on our outer layer, when its the weekend we might not use our outer layer. But the fact of the matter is that this is my layer. in this photo i have a different face which represents me dressing up when i leave my house. in this photo my bodys warped and that means nothing more than the change in posture i have when i go out. In this photo there is a xray filter which represents people looking at me. when i put on my outer layer i dont dress to impress when people see me they dont have certain thoughts about be so they try to see through my layer to see what im really like so when they d se me they have something to think of.


Before i started in this class i knew quite a bit about photography as its been a hobby of mine for years but i like to captur what i think is interesting this class has kind of dulled down my love for photography because it was a hobby and i feel llike have to take pictures of things you dont potentialy like and then being graded on them is not photography.  I belivce photography is a way of capturing the beauty of life in its finest moments and putting pasion into it but when your requierd to take pictures of stuff that dont interest you it kind of kills the pasion and you dont really feel like puting effort towards it.

Deos this work tell a story? this work tells a story on a personal level to me i belive that taking pictures is built on by storys. as a photographer you tend to imagine storys in your head of specific picturess you want to take then once you do you can share it with others.

What does this say about me as a learner? to me this dosent say much about me as a learner but i belive if you really dig you will find something linked to learning btu from now on i like to see my self as a teacher.

What did i find frusturating about this. as a photographer i dont like things being assighned to me i like to taek my own pictures and in this picture i feel that it is really bad because its being forced on me so i couldnt put any passion into the work.

What grade would i give this in all honesty i would give it a F buts thats me. if i was inspired to do this and put passion into it i might of given it an a but for now due to my judgement i would give it an f.

In what ways was my process simmalar? theres only one way that my process was simmalar and it was my feelings and how i view myself as a person.

One thing i would like to improve apon is my passion for assigned photos. I need to look further in to the projects and understand why they were assigned, really look at it from a new perspective and maybe i will end up being more motivated in the composing of the photo.


What would i like to spend mor time on in school? its sounds rude but i would like to spend more time on stuff that matteres. as teen soon to be an adult threre is alot you need to know that the school does not teach you. for example they dont teach you how to write a check, basic safety, how to do taxes and even modern inequality in our generation theres alot of inequality and hate around the world and they dont explain it to us or even what it is. now dont get me wrong your sllowed to belive in what you want but when we ask questions as to why evereyone is being separated by their gender or there race the school system seems to have a quiete a little bit to say about it.
