Three photos of structures were taken at the same time on the same day on the University of California, Los Angeles campus. The first was the front of Royce Hall, the second was the front of Powell Library and the third was of Kerckoff Hall. The photos were taken within the same hour on a sunny day with an iPhone 6S.

The name is written right under the photo in Times New Roman Font size 32.
4) is of a man and a woman in what we can gather is the kitchen. We are able to see by their clothing and his hat that this portrait takes place in the 1940s.

Advertising has sky rocketed in the last decade and is on a steady incline. Advertising is not all for looks.

There will be two images being discussed in this essay. The first image was called “9/11/2001” by Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly.

Here, as in a photograph, a woman bent to pick three flowers. Still farther over, their images burned on wood in one titanic instant, a small boy, hands flung into the air; higher up, the image of a thrown ball, and
Throughout history, photographs have been known to depict and represent culture, character, information, and ideology. Through specific elements of form, and close scrutiny, photographs give a representation of the “bigger picture” by providing content and invaluable information that text, on its own, does not produce. Dr. Carol Payne, a professor of art history at Carleton University, wrote an essay in 2012 for the Oxford University Press. This essay focused on the relationships between photographic images, Canadian culture and identity, and indigenous people. Her thesis was to discuss how an image can present a sense of national identity (Carol Payne 310).

A photograph can mean so much to different people, but it’s ultimate purpose is to capture an important moment in someone’s life and be able to hold onto a physical copy of a memory. Photographs enact a certain nostalgia for the past, the good times or perhaps an important person or location; it’s a memory you want to last indefinitely.

The film depicts photos as a gateway to nostalgia, the immortalization of important figures and how photographs can deceive their owners. When you hold onto a photography they are generally a preserved version of a past memory that is important or a time of happiness.

Other than the subject(s) of an image, and the arrangement of them, there are many other factors which make a still life a still life. In still life there are many styles, as well as abundance and wealth being re-occurring themes, simplifying objects, or playing with them, their relationships with each other, is a common factor of most. Here in Talbot’s shadow picture we see a very unique flatness – making them (figure 2) appear more abstract, like a scientific study of the subject, the plant almost becomes symbolic in its bold simplicity. This image helps to support my earlier point on the still life photograph beginning from studying ordinary organic, natural shapes like fruits, vegetables, etc. As well as this, colours, textures, shapes
