Camera exposure

 Something that i have learned from the website is that "Shutter speed" and "exposure time" refer to the same concept, where a faster shutter speed means a shorter exposure time. That they determine how much light will be allowed into camera. This helps by freezing motion to get a better photo. 

   Mary Ellen Mark , ( march 20 ,1940) has a close interaction between her and the subject of the photo. How close she is shows the emotion that the person or objects portrays at that moment. In this photograph the struggle that is lived on a daily basis in a bad neighborhood is showed by the melancholy face of the youngest of the two. The other is holding a gun putting in his jacket stating that even to step out the door he needs some form of security. This image shows the daily struggle of life in the hood  in any country in this world. That daily life is their struggle and their striving to survive it.

  Robert Frank shows the true struggles of the real american people in every day life with every day conflicts of his time.This image shows the crumbling segregation during the 60's and how we all depend upon each other. With his photography he projects how the real Americans live day by day.

   Without color this image sends a deeper message of how difficult a situation may be there is some possibility you will succeed. The tree seems to show its struggle growing from a rock bed , the way its twisted and almost tipping over . Depth of field shows how remote and barren the landscape is , and against all odds how a lonely tree defeated all the obstacles put in front of it.

 This image to me portrays to me how someone can be stuck in time or in a certain point in his/her life and the people around don't seem to notice and this is captured by shutter speed. Its amazing  how a man made object can capture in an image of something beyond our comprehension. He is just standing there seeing but not observing what happens around him while the rest pass a man in a deep sense of  self discovery so he can proceed with his own life.
