Perspective

After today's class I realized that perspective changes the way I see myself. What I learned is that although I am not camera shy sometimes I can feel self conscious about the way a picture may turn out, because when you are the person in front of the camera lens you may not know how the picture may turn out. A picture tells a story, but not everyone may be reading the same story, because there are no words in front of them to read the story clearly.

I chose this photo, because it resembles how I enjoy being outgoing. In this picture I am sitting down, but I am still moving. Most of the time weather I am sitting or standing I am always moving my body, because I have ADHD. I don't take the so called "medicine" that my doctors want me to take. This photo shows that although I am outgoing sometimes I just cant help it. Notice I have a crooked smile on my face which means sometimes I'm smiling when I don't want too. I also have my eyes covered by my hat, because sometimes I want to hide from the world, but sometimes my hat can stand out more than my eyes do when I'm trying to get away from the world.

I also chose this photo for a couple reasons. The first was, because I have never seen the back of my head and I had no idea what it looked like. A final reason is, because of my hair; not many people have the same hair type as me at this school, so sometimes I am easily distinguishable even when I try to remain a low profile I am still noticed when I don't want to be.

When a ruler is in power there is a lot of hard work that gets put in to keep that person in power. In Manet Eduardo's painting Olympia the artist exemplifies how this happens. As the women on the bed is casually relaxing; the other women in the background who looks as if she is a servant providing the woman in power with luxuries. I noticed that the woman on the bed's face is laid back looking as if she doesn't have a care in the world, while the servants face looks disgusted at the woman in powers actions. It shows that even if you have control of what is going on the others around you may not like your actions. A final note I noticed about the painting was the black cat, which is a representation of bad luck and chaos. The cat also has a sort of  deranged look on its face representing that chaos is by her side since the cat is the powerful woman's pet. In conclusion when someone is at the top of the pyramid much hard work must be put in from the bottom for one to stay at the top.-SoCo
