The red in the sign is really eye catching
and draws attention to the black watermarks under the screws on the bottom left
and right of the sign. The signs vibrancy also makes everything else, all the
plants and weeds seem quite lifeless, but I feel this is a good thing as it
adds rather than drawing from the picture and makes it work.

Quite like the fence in this photo, not
sure about the fact that it’s a colour photo, though I don’t think it would
work as well black and white. They could of done it at a different time of day
and maybe got more light on more of the objects in the fore, as it’s quite dull
and a bit drab but if the light was coming from a different direction it pick
up the colour of the pipes, but that’s just my opinion. Other that its quite a good photo and I quite
like it.

Burtynski
Had to have this in my research somewhere.
At first I found this amusing, because I
thought think about the traffic jam if all these cars tried to leave at the
same time and I found that to be most amusing, I don’t really know why though.
It’s the uniformity again that I like. I find that that is a playing factor in most
of burtynski’s photos.

This burtynski picture kind of needs
explaining because if didn’t know it I don’t think it would have such an effect
on you. This is photo of a city but all the people who lived there were paid to
destroy there homes, image that not only were they made leave they were made to
destroy it as well.
There
is certain feeling you get from it that’s hard to describe, when you know the
story behind it, it takes on another meaning and changes how you look at. The
owners of the homes did all the destruction in the photo; I find it hard to
comprehend how that would feel.

Edward Burtynski
We watched the film Manufactured Landscapes
about Edward Burtynski, and found it to be a real eye opener. This has to be my
favorite photo by Burtynski.
The feel of size and scale in this shot is phenomenal,
the uniformity of all the people/ workers goes hand in hand with the uniformity
of the buildings. The building in the front left of the photo appears at odds
with the rest, this mirrored by the odd person here and there not wherein
yellow. It really is a manufactured landscape in every sense, even the plants look
fake and to well ordered.
