1.-In less than a minute a photo booth will deliver 4 poses on a piece of strip film for 3 to 4 dollars. These are often seen in vacation areas such as the beach or amusement parks for an impromptu photographic memory of a good time with friends and family. Many are set up in bars or pubs. The pictures come in black and white or color images, and the booths are mostly photochemical, although some of the newer ones are digital. Automated photo machines were invented in the late 1800, and the modern booth with a curtain appeared around 1925 in New York City.

A photo booth that is incorporated into a wedding is the growing rage right now, and it adds a charming and humorous touch to the festivities. Some wedding planners are using a booth instead of the usual guest book, because everyone can personalize their photos with a message to the bride and groom. There are a variety of props available for the guests to use in their pictures, and as the evening progresses the pictures get more interesting. The vendor provides a scrapbook to the couple of all the photo strips shot at the wed...
For my museum selection I decided to attend Texas State University’s Wittliff Collection. When I arrived, there was no one else there besides me and the librarian. To be honest, I probably would have never gone to an art museum if my teacher didn’t require me to. This was my first time attending the Wittliff Collection, thus I asked the librarian, “Is there any other artwork besides Southwestern and Mexican photography?” She answered, “No, the Wittliff is known only for Southwestern and Mexican photography.” I smiled with a sense of embarrassment and continued to view the different photos. As I walked through Wittliff, I became overwhelmed with all of the different types of photography. There were so many amazing pieces that it became difficult to select which one to write about. However, I finally managed to choose three unique photography pieces by Alinka Echeverria, Geoff Winningham, and Keith Carter.
Photographs serve as a record of what we have accomplished, where we have traveled and who was there along the way. A significant mechanism in photography is tourists , to which I
It is considered that photography only became widely available to the public when the Kodak Eastman Company introduced the box shaped Brownie Camera in 1900. (Baker, n.p.) Its features became more refined since its original placing on the market; one of the reasons why it has become considered the birth of public photography is because of the processing. Using a similar image capture system, the brownie exposed the light to a 120mm roll of film, which could be wound round, meaning six photographs could be taken before the slides needed removing. The first Brownie used a six-exposure cartridge that Kodak processed for the photographer. (Kodak.com, n.d.) Realistically, the armature photographers did not need to understand darkroom processes, they could simply use capture the subjects, and send it to be developed. The cameras were relatively affordable, targeting many different markets, which is apparent from their advertisements. Figure 2 Is an advertisement from for the Eastman Kodak Company’s Brownie Camera; It states in bold lettering “Operated by any school boy or girl” which emphasis how it was targeted for amateur use.
The “Photo Scavenger Hunt” is an activity which helps with team bonding. The materials needed for this activity are a camera per group and a list of items to take pictures of. The objective of this game is to have one group take the most pictures of the listed items. Each team playing this game will have 15 to 20 minutes to take the pictures. The list may include landmarks, office supplies, etc.
It is impossible to fully comprehend the appeal to the Gulf Coast High School Band Room unless you are actually a member of the band. All members of the Gulf Coast High School marching band spend the majority of their time in the band room, which is like a second home for most. The room itself does not appear to be anything special. It is a large room with a high ceiling, bright fluorescent lighting, and pink and green padding on the walls. The hallway maintains a terrible odor which nobody can quite determine the source of, and the white, vinyl tile floor is covered in a layer of disgusting things one can only dream of. Still, for some reason it remains a haven to about twelve percent of the student body. At first glance, it does not look like anything special, but when you open that big, gray door and step into the “band world” it becomes clear that it really is an amazing and wonderful place. It feels like the center of the universe.
Today technology allows us to construct structures that we would never have been able to make in the past. Some of the creations are impressive based on what they accomplish but others are masterpieces in themselves. Man’s capability to build such tall buildings, as the skyscrapers we are familiar with covering our cities today, is a major expression of the advancements we have made as a culture. The power necessary to build such tall structures inspired competition between architects to see who could build the tallest one. One skyscraper that has inspired many and served as a model, for high rise buildings that were created after, is the Chrysler Building. The Chrysler Building serves as an identifying mark to anyone that views the New York City skyline. The history surrounding the Chrysler Building is almost as intricate as the artwork and engineering of the building itself. Today it elicits a reaction from anyone who passes by just as it did when it was first created.
Something like this throw away camera (visual) will cost about $5 to $8 a piece, can take excellent pictures, is already loaded with film, and can come with such features as water proofing and flash. You simply un-wrap it, point and click. When you are done, you just drop the whole thing off for processing. The downside of this option is that it ...
In Perchance to Dream, Franzen writes about his struggle to “engage with the culture” in his writings and subsequently ends up “torturing” his story by overloading it with every possible social issue, yet Baker produces an culturally engaging novel seemingly effortlessly, without agonizing over the need to incorporate and satirize dozens of social ills. However, what is meant by ‘cultural engagement’ and the standards for achieving such a lofty goal are under debate.
Something that makes our booth unique is the gorgeous tapestries and colorful decor we like to put together. It helps to inspire us as artists and creates a good atmosphere for customers. The other face painters have carts and usually try to rush the process but luckily we have a large area for our customers to sit down and relax. The ground is covered in yellow hay, the ceiling is a large white parachute, and every other inch is filled with vibrant colors. The back of the booth is similar to the front, but has a small kitchen made over a large tree that had fallen many years ago. We decorate and work around the nature that is already there, to set up a cozy home for the twenty or so people that stay yearly. This is where we relax and get rocked to sleep by the music that play throughout the
“I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated” (Nachtwey). Photojournalism is the art or practice of communicating news by photographs, especially in magazines. Photojournalism has evolved immensely from the beginning to the present. Photojournalism developed during the Crimean War, submitted to its evolution throughout the course of the Golden Age, and eventually settled on its present-day existence today.

Have you ever seen a painting or picture that captivates you and directly stirs up emotion within you? More than likely, you have. Usually, viewers merely observe the picture and enjoy the way it looks and how it makes them feel. But, have you ever asked yourself, “why?” What about the picture makes it pleasing to the viewer? With each strategy the photographer uses creates their own touch and passion that floods all over the picture. The emotional connection nearly goes unnoticed for when the picture is well photographed, the viewers experience the sensation in their subconscious. This is one of the most powerful tools that a photographer holds in their hands. If one can become a master of manipulating how the photo affects its viewers, the said photographer can potentially maneuver people’s minds and thoughts with one click of a button. The time spent with my mentor has opened up the door for me to tap into that power though the use of background, focus, shutter speed, angles, and most importantly, lighting. Even with all these techniques, the person behind the camera must remember that creativity must be at the forefront of all operations. Caleno (2014), when writing about the basics of capturing a beautiful moment in a picture commented, “If we want to be creative we must drop these pre-conceptions and start looking at things from a small child’s innocence.”
Western Civilization: A Brief History (Spielvogel, 2001), discusses how ‘The Great Exhibition of 1851 was a symbol of the successes of Great Britain, which had become the World’s first industrial nation and it’s richest.’ Furthermore, a vast tree inside the building provided ‘a visible symbol of how the Industrial Revolution had supposedly achieved human domination over nature.’ Being a professor in Western Civilisation at Pennsylvania State University, Spielvogel is a reliable source.
Sounds obvious, sadly, even some professional wedding photographers fail at this challenge. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, it is far easier to get your guests correctly positioned by asking them nicely, rather than ordering them around. Getting to know the whole bridal party and both families makes it a lot easier to get natural photographs. Who wants to be told to smile all day?! A laugh and a joke, a funny story and people smile naturally. Quite often I am asked which side does the Grooms button hole go. It's not about being the photographer, it's about being the go to wedding guy (or girl). Please do make sure, no matter how brilliant or how cheap your photographer is, that then have a personality that is easy to get along
The biggest tip that any wedding photographer must know is planning is crucial. When you consult with the couple ask them what shots they would like to have captured on that day. This will help you compile a list to use on the wedding day to ensure that you capture those important shots. No one wants to be the photographer that missed important photo opportunities. As further preparation visit the locations you will shooting. This is re...
