Analysis:
This image is of a woman reading in a park outside the city of Chicago. Literally being outside provides an element of peace and tranquility.Form (what is most relevant in regard to the interpretation)
- Color: I think this piece might be more powerful if in color, but i really enjoy it in black and white, that is how it stood out amongst others to me.
- Angle of View: showing a couple skyscrapers in order to match the tall object in the park was a great addition to the photo.
- Line: The buildings and the tall object in the park provide a downward center of focus so that the person reading isn't the focus but the second or third thing you see.
- Distance of Camera to Subject Matter: this allows the woman reading to not be the first thing you see but the center of focus.
- Relation of Elements in the Frame: the city and the park are sizable but they are very unrelated and the difference between the two is very organic.
- Author:
"As I was walking through the Grant Park, I saw a girl, lost in her book ... maybe a sci-fi had taken her long time ago in a galaxy far, far away .. or she was engrossed in the suspense of a murder mystery .. or engulfed in an intense tragic romantic novel ... whatever it was, she was lost in the pages ... "Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere."" - This Image exemplifies how tranquil and relaxing reading by yourself outside can be. The cityscape only provides backup to this example. Being on the edge of noise and chaos, but still being able to tune out everything and get lost in your hobby.
