Content.

This semester, as I've been trying to learn how to use my camera and learn a lot about photography, I think I've learned a lot about the content of my pictures! I've learned a lot about what makes photographs interesting to people and what people like about curtain photographs. The picture below is a self-portrait that I set up and then had one of my friends take. This is a classic self-portrait done in a studio. Don't get me wrong. This is a great picture. However, this photograph is very plain. It doesn't tell anything about me or who I am. When I showed this picture to people, I definitely didn't get the feed back that I wanted. This picture, I guess, kinda reminds me of those old fashioned photographs they took of people when they have to hold super still for forever. Today, pictures like this just don't cut it. We have the means and technology to take pictures everywhere we are. We can take fun pictures in seconds, instead of hours.

The next picture that I took is a lot more expressive. This picture kind of tells a little story. People loved this picture so much more than the other one. It probably isn't' the best picture of me... but I think it's a lot more interesting for people to look at.
