...This is about my still image analysis of my pictures I posted on Facebook. On Facebook I have posted some pictures that are semiotic. Semiotics is the study of signs. This may includes signs devised to convey meanings “....language, badges as well as 'symptoms' as in that’s the sign of swine flu'”. (Branston 12) Potency involves the strong or weak signs of semiotics that appear in the image. The sign in this image is that of me wear a suit with a sign of economic stature, which is the definition of symbolic sign. Most people where suit like the one I have in the picture and have some type of corporate job and make very good money. This makes the image a connotative image it represents an idea or mental image of a thing rather than the thing itself. The denotative meaning of the image is a guy in a nice suit poses to get his picture taken. The definition of denotative is the literal meaning of what you see in the picture. When I post this picture on Facebook the audience for whom the picture was for was my Facebook friends. My mom somehow saw it and she doesn’t have a Facebook account. Then I realize some of the people who are my Facebook friends are also her co workers and they commented on the picture. I don’t really care who sees the picture because it’s my own personal count with some friends and family members. What I hope people get out of this is that I look nice in a suit and tie. I look at it more like a professional selfie form a distance as it was shoot by a photographer...

...the capability of zooming smoothly and in more detailed with its high-resolution digital photographs. Regardless of the size and amount of image data, end users can navigate through an image smoothly by using Sea Dragon. On the other hand, Photosynth is a technology that takes a wide variety of images and fusing the images according to similarities to generate three-dimensional models. What I was looking at on the screen in the beginning of the clip are the collective of images on Sea Dragon and its feature of being able to access photos and data either remotely or locally interactive with numerous amount of images. The only way to limit the performance system is depending on the number of pixels on the screen of every end user. Blaise Aguera y Arcas, speaker for Photosynth demo, continues to introduce a project called Photosynth that connects two different technologies, Sea Dragon and computer vision research by a graduate student of University of Washington. An example model of Notre Dame Cathedral is shown, which each of the images that appear in the “orange cones” was taken from Flickr, and is combined together to create the three-dimensional whole image of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Photosynth along with Sea Dragon have been “Jaw Dropping” for the audience and users as it has the capability to navigate smoothly through a bundle of images representing the object. In other words, it is amazing...

...Picture perfect! Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and as a professional photographer our whole exitance is to capture the beauty of an image. And while I appreciate, Brandon Stanton vision I strongly disagree with his excessive use of sentiment to attract his audience. At his best his images are ‘street photography’. And his capture is fetishized. Author, Photograph, Blogger- Brandon Stanton started this journey with the attempt to photograph 10,000 New Yorkers. He took his success to Facebook posting, pictures of men, women, and children with sentimental caption’s he clams this inspired him to start adding quotes which led to full interviews to all his social media images. And well he has had a (New York Times) best seller in 2013 it still leaves one to wonder how something that is perceived so positive can still leave one so unsatisfied. Going to Google to view the site I type in humansofnewyork instagram page and choose http://www.instagram.com/humanofny. Once on the page I randomly pick through the images to get a feel for the site. Undirecting my attention in the...

...eCreative Images Click, Click. Oh No I’ve been shot at! Wait, that’s just Kristen sneaking around the corner with her camera snapping pictures some candid pictures again. What is Photography? Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images. Or as Ken Rockwell put it “Call it vision, imagination, or seeing; it all comes down to the same thing: the ability to envision a final result in your mind's eye, and then to make it so with your tools at hand.” My friend Kristen Savonell-Zehner has taken her hobby/interest to the next level, paid professional. Kristen got her first camera at a very young age and was constantly taking rolls upon rolls of pictures featuring anything and everything she saw. Taking Photography classes in High School helped understand the basics. After high school Kristen went onto college for Radiography, not photography. Over the years there would be the pictures here and there of inanimate objects. Until one day a friend saw a picture of a pumpkin she took and asked if she would mind taking pictures of her and her boyfriend. This was a scary thought as all she had never taken pictures of humans. She continued being a hobbyist photographer for about 10 years, while still being employed as a fulltime Radiography Tech at Boone County Hospital. During her pregnancy she decided she would start charging a nominal fee for her work. Then she got her “big” break, the opportunity to go part time at the hospital and start her “official” business...

...Tati Kringel Professor Posada CTVR 1 15 September 2016 When Creation Causes Destruction New advances in technology have created and given users a wider rage of ability to potentially become a photographer just by owning a smart phone. This creates a difficult field, or obstacle for those who take their photography careers seriously and are professionals. In the article, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” by Walter Benjamin, he writes about a change in perspective in film and photography and discusses his argument towards the loss of the aura through the mechanical reproduction of art itself. He also touches upon how modern art has changed immensely since the beginning of its creation, and how it has lost a majority of its value. As social media is growing and changing, there are many opportunities for anyone to be able to take professional photos just by having equipment and the social...

...1895- November 8: Wilhelm Roentgen of Germany invents the x-ray photograph. This is important because this technique has been able to examine things a normal eye cannot see. It has made a huge impact in the medical field to see where a fracture is or even what’s wrong with the inner body. This has been a positive impact on society because this image can see and fully examine a person or creature. 1906- A photographic method that allows images to be reduced or enlarged, known as the photostat, is introduced. When the method of enlarging and reducing an image was possible, it was incorporated into a lot of things used today such as phones, laptops, and tvs. This was also a positive impact because it allows us to see a picture in a widescreen or be able to focus on one certain thing of that picture. 1963- Kodak introduces the Instamatic line, the first point-and-shoot cameras. This was important because most people like basic and simple. It was easy to just pick up a camera and shoot. This technique also has been a positive impact and has been added into phones as well. The idea of the camera being so simple is what made the impact so great. Photography will help me in my career not only to see pictures in a different way, but I feel like it will just help in general. In photography, we learn how to look at a picture and learn how to inspect it fully. In the business world, I will be forced to look at situations and maybe even layouts but I will be able to capture the beauty...

...(2 points) Briefly describe how WSI technology works. Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) is creating a digital image from an entire microscope slide. An automated microscope (slide scanner) scans an entire slide and stores a digital image. Then the digital image can be viewed, managed, and analyzed using a computer. There are computer algorithms that can numerically analyze the stored digital images and produce cheaper and faster results compared to manual slide analyses. b) (2 points) Discuss one advantage of WSI technology. WSI technology has reduced turn-around time. Diagnosis and numerical analyses like counting can be done automatically and faster using computer algorithms. c) (2 points) Discuss one disadvantage of WSI technology. It is a new technology. It...

...nobody knows who the anonymous “Tank Man” was or what happened to him. There are many similarities between these two photos, one being that these people stood up for something. In Kent State they were against the Vietnam War, and China was for Democracy. They both involved the government and some kind of army who shot and killed civilians, although, China had an estimated 1000 dead, and Kent was at 4. The photographs also had no color, which I think is good because it shows the true emotions and the color doesn’t distract the viewer. It’s these kind of photos that move people because it shows the person’s true emotions and are genuine. They need a studio or professional makeup artist to get them ready. It was already there, and the photographers just snapped a picture, not knowing that it would become such moving images. Some of the best photos are the ones least expected and just happen. ...

...Flipping The Coin of Photography Before, I tell you about what I am going to write, first and foremost I would like you all to imagine two situations. The first is suppose you enter an old palace, what do you expect to find. Well, you are sure to have a glimpse of numerous paintings hung on the gorgeous walls depicting portraits of glorious emperors and his beautiful wives, or certain scenes of importance being depicted on the walls. Any genuine person would call the palace and its adored paintings, a work of art and rather be mesmerised by the antiquity. Now, the second situation is somewhat we all are acquainted with. What do you expect to find as you enter the house of a popular film star. Well you are luckily you are going to see numerous photographs of stars being framed and hung on the wall. You can also find a good deal of landscape photographs in any modern household. Well, now the question arises. Will you call this house a patron of art? This is where the ambiguity arises. It has been almost 180 years now, and still innumerable critics have been raging a battle among themselves on whether to consider photography as an art. Well, I am no critic, neither I am any artist or photographer. I am what you all are, a layman. And I will try to analyse things from layman’s point of view. So, being impartial, standing on the vulnerable bisector dividing the two forms, I would like to establish art with photography. How do we describe art? Art is a form of media be it painting...

...Upheld By Character Character is built upon strength and compassion. To be quite honest, I happened upon this photo as I was rummaging through the mountains of pictures my mother has collected over the years. To my knowledge, I have never seen this before but I feel as though this photo gives an extremely detailed overview of my life. The fate of most photographs usually consists of being overlooked and cast into the attic, yet every picture is a reminder of an important memory. However, photos such as school pictures, which can be seen throughout my house, seem useless to me. Often times in these pictures emotion tries to be built or controlled. A moment deserves to be captured when the subjects in it find themselves unable to hold back a smile or a prideful smirk not when one is forged. What good is a memory if it lacks emotion, the backbone of a picture? It is obvious that in my picture we are not overtaken by joy, however, emotion engulfs this photo. Determination and faith can be found in this mirror of a memory. My father has his hands around mine, preventing me from falling into the abyss. Maybe to an average person it would be called a swimming pool, but convincing the 3 month old version of myself that that was true would be quite a feat. This second nature act of protection is not what drew me to this photo. It was no great accomplishment to stand on the first step of the pool, true. A father has an innate desire for the well-being of his child, also true. But the...

...Research Essay 1 This essay is to be no less than 2 pages long. Susan Sontag’s essay Regarding the Pain of Others brings forth many atrocities of war. I would like you to choose an atrocity mentioned in the essay which will be the basis of your research paper. As you research you will come across pictures and photographs that are suppose to “show” you what was occurring during the time of the atrocity; however as you view such photographs I would like you to address ONE of Sontag’s ideas below which will become your essay topic: 1) Photographs do not assist in the comprehension of a situation, that is up to writers to create narratives that help in understanding 2) Meanings from photos are free floating, and can only be grounded by words 3) The photograph is not an objective mirror, but an expressive medium capable of portraying multiple realities. 4) Intentions are not inherent in photography, meaning is situational and in flux – this is in keeping with the previous key idea. The photograph itself is capable of “speaking” for itself only so much. It requires an interpreter. And it is the agenda of this interpreter that the photograph assumes. The photograph itself has no agenda; it takes on the one of who is interpreting for it. Part Two You are to create a power point presentation of the atrocity you discussed in your research paper which is to include both pictures and text. You may also choose to streamline videos...

...Mashell Chapeyama Topic: Art History Year 2012 Level: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration The French revolution and Painting The French revolution had a big impact on art. It brought in new themes to art. The following are some of the themes that emerged: • Democracy • Reconciliation • Patriotism • Rising against unfair rulers • Battle-scenes Some paintings that emerged from the French revolution heightened the need for democracy. Before the revolution most nations were ruled by dictators, most of whom were monarchies. For example there were some paintings that showed the democratic legacy of Greece and Rome. Patriotism was also portrayed. For example the picture entitled the Coronation of Josephine. This was a great piece of art. The painter wanted to illustrate that Napoleon was the legitimate ruler of France. The earlier paintings related to this showed the sketches of Napoleon crowning himself. On the other hand the picture of Gericault showed how people can attack the government. It has some revolutionary connotation. It seemed like inciting people to fight mistrusted rulers. Some pictures showed what happened in wars. One painting shows Napoleon crossing the alps on his horse. This showed his victories in wars. Napoleon was a successful fighter. The other pictures show the people fleeing from battle fields. Some were refugees fleeing their homes. One painting of David show what happens in revolutions. It was entitled, “Oath of Horiatis”. It also...

Ultrasonic B-scans are used to create 2-D cross sectional images of the structure of interest. A solid ball would create merely a filled in circle; a tennis ball filled with air would create an image of a outer rim with empty space inside, as shown below: 4. The three controls that a technician uses on an x-ray machine are the voltage adjustment, mA control and the exposure timer. The voltage adjustment is used to control the penetrating power of the beam. A greater penetrating power will decrease the contrast of the image. The mA control is used to determine the current which flows through the filament in the cathode. This changes the number of photons produced, which affects the blackness of the image. Finally, the exposure timer is combined with the mA control to manipulate the darkness of the image. 5. Grids improve the image sharpness when a relatively thick body part is being imaged by maximizing the number of primary photons to pass through to the film, and interacting with the secondary photons to decrease the chance of secondary photons hitting the film. 6. CT scans use multiple x-rays or the rotation of a single x-ray rather than a single straight-forward x-ray to create the final image. The rotational motion of the scanner makes the target area...
