Blog Assignment 1

Blog Prompt #1: Imagine a world without photographs. Describe what this world would be like.

A world without photographs is extremely hard to imagine. There would be no way of knowing history, what happened in the past, what did things look like, what did people look like? I also think it would make technological advances difficult, and not only technology, but also architecture, fashions, and personal family history. There would be no way of knowing what other parts of the world look like, everybody would be very uninformed. Photographs provide so much information in all different aspects of our life, they allow us to experience people, places, and things without being present to view them.

Blog Prompt #2: What does the word "photograph" mean to you?

Photograph to me is emotion. Can make you feel happy, sad, uncomfortable, angry, or excited. As we talked about in class, it's capturing a moment in time that other than that one photographer, there is no other proof of it's existence. Photographs are also pieces of art, of fantasy. For me, magazines, fashion photography are large parts of my life, I am enamored by the finished product of the shoots. You don't see what goes on behind the scenes, only the finished product.
