Photography – 2012
I love photography. I don’t take pictures too often, but nevertheless I do enjoy it. The photograph tells a story unbeknownst to the naked eye. The camera captures a deeper aspect of the “picture that otherwise could not be seen. Photography often seems like a snapped picture of random objects put together, but of course there is more to what meets the eye.
Sometimes, as in some modern photography, it seems like the photographer just snapped a picture of a random object. But I think modernity allows for personal interpretation and expression. Perhaps, and most probably, this photo expresses something deeper for the photographer.
MOMA’s New Photography 2012 exhibit is great. I love the personality, the character, and the creativity behind the photos. Each photo is definitely worth a thousand words.
If a picture is made out of a thousand pictures, and each picture is worth a thousand words…
That picture is like the longest essay ever.
Its amazing what a huge impact a picture can have, how much it can make you think.
I’m picturing that HUGE panoramic picture in which the photographer left the camera in the same spot to take a few snapshots every minute and then put it altogether.
I can definitely see your point about how some of the photography in the exhibit was really well done, while others were random. Though some of the most puzzling photographs were the ones that took the most effort, yet didn’t deliver in any particular way.
