...Assignment 2: Essay Small Business Image and Enterprise Word Count: 1497 Small businesses have been distinguished as those that employ fewer than 20 employees, by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)(1997), however this definition varies depending on the source, from more or less employees or by annual revenue (Connolly, Norman & West 2012). Historically, small businesses have also had a negative view within the Australian communities, largely due to the failure rate of Small and Medium sized businesses (SME's) (Peacock 2004b). The effect of these failure rates on the communitie's opinions and feelings caused poor small business image and negative attitude in society towards enterprise, as shown in surveys from Mozell & Midgely in 1993, Goddard and Ferguson in 1997 and Hindle and Rushworth in 2000 (Peacock 2004b). Unfortunately, the rate of small business failure is similar to the rate of small business establishment is Australia so this is not a fact that would assist the positive societal attitude (Connolly, Norman & West 2012). Small business image is the general cultural and societal perception of small business which, the Karpin report observed negative in Australia in its report in 1995. The Karpin Inquiry suggests that the poor small business image is due to a negative enterprise attitude within society and rectification suggestions focus on increased small business knowledge and education in the primary, secondary, vocational and tertiary...

...The input interactions are creative directors or art directors toiling on particular publicity electioneers. Event photography proposes chances to photographers who relish sprouting images of populaces. The main marketplaces are weddings, anniversaries, graduations, celebrations and business proceedings such as symposiums or award ceremonies. The contacts for this kind of toil may be the specialties themselves or event organizers, such as conference coordinators, hotel managers or wedding planners. Sports photographers shoot live action at games and vend their images to newspaper and magazine publishers, or to the social establishment compering the games. Sports photographers may work on obligation from a sports editor on a separable publication, or they may find an event and proffer the images to an amount of publications. The main contacts are sports editors or art directors at newspapers and magazines, or marketing and municipal dealings managers of sports clubs. The word "photography" was coined from the Greek pedigrees “phōtos”, genitive of “phōs”, "light", and “graphé”, which is "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", mutually meaning "drawing with...

...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...

...Sturken claims that “camera images ... are central to the interpretation of the past ... [and] are often perceived to embody memory” (11). Photographs are commonly thought of as confirmation that real people and objects existed, and that real events took place. However, photographs are incapable of being accurate reflections of the “real” world and always have meaning imposed on them by their creators, whether consciously or unconsciously asserted (Sontag). In addition to the reading of the photographer, it is crucial to examine how an image is interpreted by its consumers. Photo-viewing and -sharing has reached a crescendo in the twenty-first century, with increased public accessibility to images resulting in more public dialogues about their...

...collectively. They both worked on these painting equally. The efforts of both artists are in each painting which is rare to find but it makes these images unique. Even though they work collectively on each painting they took turns and work on it separately at different times. Working this way subtracts each other’s work so an idea that DiMambro had when painting may be different than Rushing’s when he came in to paint. The ideas each artist has for the painting may change but it came out good in the end as if just one artist painted the picture. In most of DiMambro’s and Rushing’s paintings the objects and characters are outlined which emphasize each part. It makes the characters bold so that they stick out. This collection of art is also very colorful and has a common, bold, color of red in most of the paintings with a shiny finish. Circus images always seem to be bright with an exciting atmosphere. The way the paint was brushed on was not perfectly smeared. You can notice the lines and brush strokes. It is not one solid coat like a painted wall. Most of the circus project paintings are close up, there is not much distance especially compared to Robert Morgan’s watercolor paintings. We as the viewer are able to see the character and objects close up. It is interesting to see these paintings have images of clowns. Clowns is not an image that you see very often, which makes the work that much more extraordinary. Clowns are the most iconic figures in the circus. They...

...Business Research By: Jennifer Heinrich 10/7/12 I opened J.Lynn Photography in 2010. I did many things to keep myself on the leading photography line for my friends, family, and clients. I would check prices for other top, award winning photographers in the area, and make sure my prices were comparable to theirs and I could offer similar choices in packages, and designs. I listened to feedback from my clients as to what they were looking for and would always make sure the customer was happy and satisfied. I would make sure that the pictures that I delivered to clients were top shape, no lines, and did not have any imperfections in the printing. One of the leading photography companies in my area was Portrait Innovations. They had special packages that you would only pay under ten bucks for and get one pose with several different sizes then all your extra images, and a disk would cost extra money. People that I know that used them would pay a hundred bucks or more for printed pictures and a disk with images on it. They also would have their pictures that day. I offered packages based on size of pictures, and you could pick your pose and mix up your package. It would be one flat rate for a certain amount of pictures, then your extras would cost extra. I would make sure to have your pictures delivered to you within 3 business days. That included editing, saving, printing, and putting all your hard...

...Everyone makes the mistake of judging items by their appearance or reputation and not taking the time to look beneath the surface. In “The Safe” by Tim Gautreaux, the traditional image of the dirty junkyard is contradicted by the magic of the special sewing machine. In the junkyard there is a sewing machine made with a very artistic hand which inspires Snyder to change his profession. It helps to bring out hidden characteristics that the workers of the junkyard, including Snyder possess. The attractiveness of the sewing machine forces Alva, the junkyard owner, to realize that he is surrounded by a beautiful family and his work. The complex design in something simple like the sewing machine causes Alva to add more elements to his businesses...

...eyes to see and too rapid for us to observe and gaze at its beauty. Photography makes this possible in our lives. It has played a very essential role in our lives and in our society. It has many uses in science, business, media and even preserving history. But above all, photography has given us memories to cherish, just like an image of a beautiful smile of a person, an unforgettable happening in our lives and a photo together with our loved ones that we may or may never see and experience again for a lifetime. Photography is the art and practice of creating images with the use of radiant energy and by means of light on a sensitive surface of a material such as film and image sensor (http://www.merriam-webster.com). The word photography was derived from the Greek words photos which means “light” and “graphé” which means “drawing” (http://scphoto.com). Using the two definitions from Greek roots, photography is then described as “drawing with light” (http://scphoto.com). There were several people that have coined these terms but Sir John Herschel was the person rewarded and received the credits as the originator of the terms and as the one who introduced it to the society (http://en.wikipedia.org). 20,000 years ago, humans have already been making images in their caves and now with the aid of photography, artistic creations like those that are made by extraordinary artists can already be recorded (www.scphoto.com) The art of photography flourished...

...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 in it rather than just see a whole lot of work. I think photography is not only great to learn about seizing moments...

...When comparing photography and a painting as an aura, the photograph is an image of an image while the painting remains entirely original, “that which withers in the age of mechanical reproduction is the aura of the work of art" (219). The painting is a sensory experience of distance between the reader and the work of art. “For the first time in world history, mechanical reproduction emancipates the work of art from its parasitical dependence on ritual” (p. 224). The value of the work has been changed and no longer retains its religious or secularized beauty.” Instead of being based on ritual,” Benjamin notes that the function of art “begins to be based on another practice—politics” (p. 224). Art and media begin to merge, when the mystification between art and society begins to diminish social roles of artist and educators...

... this brought in new demands of entertainment. In the 17th century, using a magic lantern, allowed them to create a certain illusion to make the still pictures appear in movement, thus making short clips. A magic lantern was an early version of a slide projector that images would pass through a lens with a light. It is debatable on who invented the magic lantern some credit Butch scientist, Charles Hugyens in the later 1650s, and then others credit Athanasius Kircher who used a candle as his light source....

...Merceds Creech Katherine Miscavige English 302 10/17/16 Photography: The Drastic Change Photography has advanced vastly through the years, and will be continuing to change through digital cameras, the instant continual sharing and of photos, and the ease and accessibility of editing. Photography gives us the capacity to record our day to day activities, and reflect on our past. Photography has had a long trip from the very first photograph, to the constant sharing of digital photos. Light is the fundamental structures photography revolves around. 1666 when Isaac Newton discovered that light is really made up of seven distinctive colors. This lead to the Niecpce brothers experimenting with light-sensitive materials to make images in the year 1816 (Cross). The development of the camera has evolved over centuries. The very first type of camera was the camera obscure. The camera obscure was the very first glimpse of what we now call the camera. The initial multiple copy photographic process was created in 1841 by Fox Talbot, which was a huge step forward within the photography world. Less than six years later, Louis Evrard made the Fox Talbot procedure even better by opening a printing...

...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...

...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...
