JOURNAL #6 – **//The Story//** A good photograph, aside from being compositionally and technically sound, makes a person think and wonder. Often these photographs tell a story. You each have been given a phrase which you have to interpret and depict in a photograph. There is no right or wrong way to interpret them. Find 4 photographs that could be attached to your phrase and write a paragraph for each one telling me the story and why this photograph is about your phrase. (Remember you can interpret things in many different ways, the photographer has the power to change the truth about something simply through focus, frame usage, and lighting.)

Title: Young man, plaster over left eye, sweat on face, portrait By Philip Lee Harvey Date Taken: N/A Getty Images . To me this photo exhibits the quote above in the sense that he is angry. He looks as if he was in a fight either as a trained boxer or in the streets. His eyes look spiteful and wanting to get back to the fight and finish the guy who gave him those bruises and cut.

Title: young couple embracing view over mans sholder By: Dan Kenyon Date Taken: N/A Getty Images . This photo is much different than the previous one in that it has more of a evil feel to it. She looks protective over her man and seems as though she would hurt anyone who would try to take him away from her. The picture looks happy but the shadows across her face make her look maniacal and almost as if she were out for revenge.

Title: Woman lying at bottom of stairs, man sitting with head in hand By: Luc Beziat Date Taken: N/A Getty Images . I can see this photo taken in a different perspective. To me the saying is filled with not only regret but also revenge. It looks like this man pushed his wife down the stairs for some reason that can only be assumed. But now, he stares at her dead wishing he could take it all back.

Title: young women looking out window By: Johann Wall Date Taken: N/A Getty Images . "A get back stare" can be interpreted in several ways. In the pictures above they were taken in more of a revengeful sense. However, this picture give of a more relaxed feel. To me she looks sad, staring out the window wanting to get back a lost boyfriend. She almost looks in mourning.
