He and I have the same dreams! I am holding my breath to what's gonna happen soon!

Mental Level of Photography

Last week, we have talked about the depictive level of photography, flatness, frame, time, and focus. We also talked about how photographers use lenses to create a new world that is close but also apart from the real world. In this chapter, we are looking at how photographers come up with the idea of their worlds and how do they present them to the viewers. I feel personally connected to this chapter because I have always been interested in psychology and the ideas and thoughts behind a piece of art are something worth looking into, and this chapter also includes how we operate in a psychological way, mental refocus of things we saw, and the neuroscience behind it. Thank you for the interdisciplinary of studying at Hamilton College, I am able to connect my photography class to my psychology class. Everything is constant at a certain point in time, but we still observe them differently because our perspectives are different. The perspective we often talked about has little connection with the physical level of things but is deeply and mentally connected to the person who is looking at it. People have different perspectives because of their experiences, cultural background, emotional state, education, and etc. Perspective makes the diversity of art. When we compose a photo, we see the things we want to see and either leave the things we do not want out of the frame or hide them behind some other object. Photographers communicate and present their world to the viewers via photography. They often focus on the point they want to stress and obscure other things. One thing I have noticed among the example photos provided in this chapter, photographers often focus on a black space to open up the space in the picture and increase the depth of the mental space of the photo the viewers may feel, opposite to using white to create a shallow mental space.

Depictive Level of photograph

If the physical level of the photography created elements in a photo, the depictive level of photography creates a world in the picture. Previously, I always think photographer uses their camera to capture a moment and a fragment of this world. This is partly true, but now I believe that photographers created a new world for us through his lens.

The picture is in two dimensions, but the depth of the photo gives it another dimension. The photographer defines the sense of space of a photo by changing the depth of the picture. If depth set the space for the world in the picture, how the photographer frames the picture created the boundary for the photo. This boundary does not necessarily mean limitation. Sometimes it might mean an extension to the world outside of the picture, how the world in the picture immerge in the world we live in. Frame also redefine the space in the photo. The distance between each subject and the relationship between each subject is redefined by how the photograph frame the picture. There is no eternity in the real world, but eternity might exist in the photo because the shutter captures the exact moment and lock it forever. To me, a photo is more than an exact moment but a short period of time. A good photo offers an infinite opportunity for imagination. It shows you a short period of time, a story that is made up by the viewer’s mind. The main character of the photo, sometimes, is selected by the photographer by focusing on it to offer the most details to the viewers.

A photo is a world created by the photographer where there is protagonist and a wonderful story that is lock in time.

Some thoughts on the "Nature of Photography" Chapter 1 and 2

Sorry in advance for my poor writing skills. I am trying to improve my writing. Please excuse my grammar mistakes and any tips on writing are welcome! The content is just some of my thoughts so any comment on that is also welcome!

Photography is used widely in people’s daily life. It can appear in different forms, colors, and styles. The diverseness of photography offers an opportunity for individuals to accomplish a different goal through the lenses. Some people make art with photography, some people use it to keep records, and others may use photography to pass on their ideas and emotions. It seems to me that photography always serves a purpose. It is difficult to define a picture as good or bad but to feel with our heart.

“On the print is an image, an illusion of a window onto the world”. Photos offer a perspective. When we look at a photo, we are looking at the world through the window created by the camera. The window can travel through space and time. When we look at the photo, we align our eyes with the photographer's lens and become part of the scene.

A Quote that stood out from the reading

No matter how interorganizational relationships are organized, they challenge our ideas about organizational communication. Traditional organizational structures were developed to simplify and minimize communication needs. In contrast, we expect interorganizational structures to be highly communication intensive" (OCAG p 170). 

I thought this was interesting because I never thought about how differently certain organizations must develop and structure themselves and now after reading this I can see just how this structure impacts certain companies. I took a class a year ago where we had to analyze a company's both external and internal communications and everyone had different aspects of their chosen company's communication that were easier to find and now i'm seeing how it all connects.
