track!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personal: I love the fcat that this picture is in black and white, at first sight it makes me remember my high school track days. our shed at the back of the field, the long one hundred let in our “latter” workouts, the lane you will be in for the 200m dash. This photo brings back intense memories.
Historical:I ran track all throughout high school, it was not my intention to run it in college, but as “luck” would have it i have now been running track here at UNR for two and half years, almost three. This photo i feel have strong relevants to my life, I am on the track everyday and its somthing i will be doing for another year and a half.
Technical: In this photo there is a good use of natural light toward the back of the photo. from what I can tell I can’t tell whether or not there are any key lights becuase there is a shadow on the track; it makes it look as if all they did was use natural light. The medium in this photo I think is the angle in which the photo was taken, the slight slant and downward angle; looks like the person was sitting at a distance and zoomed in maybe. I think i portrays the dramaticism of track its self, looking at this picture makes me nervous as if i were about to run a race.
Ethical: The producer has the resposibility of taking the picture as is, not to change or alter anything on the track or the field in the background, and as a viewer I think I have the resposiblity of view the photo for what it is, to try and see it through the photographers eye’s in most ways.
Cultural: The numbers On the track, I know that everyone worries about what lane they are going to be in, also the long straight of the hundered in the photo, depending on where the finish line is, that strech is the hardest and the most dramatic part of the race.
