Street Photography – State of Intent
The final name of this project is “The moment of Hutong people’s daily lives.” The concept/story I want to tell with my photograph is what Hutong people’s daily lives are like, such as gathering together and happily spending time with family and friends. I want my audience to feel a deep connection with the Hutong people because their lives are just like ours—ordinary and happy. I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs that show the focus of objects.

RESPOND NOTES
Chosen Photographer: Annie Leibovitz
Leibovitz’s photos intend to tell the mysterious beauty of women of different ages, with various techniques. Her photos demonstrate models looking straight at the camera, with rare facial expression changed. Also, her photos usually demonstrate leaning toward the camera to emphasize themselves. The contrast in light for pic 2 is outstanding. Pic 4 is the only photo to not show her common techniques, which is special.
Final choice. This photo shows the most mysterious with enough balance in light and the focus on the model.
“Trapped” by Marc Aronson
I read the book called “Trapped” by Marc Aronson. This book is about the 33 miners got trapped in San José, Chile and the progress of being rescued. It describes geographic information and vivid situations and actions miners had during being trapped. It also has some resources and pictures to show the story more understandable.
I really enjoyed this book because it had a lot of geographical information and showed the serious situation by showing some pictures. I also found out some central ideas that could be
When I read this book, the central idea came up to my mind: When people are in serious situation, they tend to be more bonded to survive.
Through reading this, I realized that people tend to be more collaborative and closer when they are in danger. Throughout the pages, the miners always collaborated and become one’s supporter. They always had a meeting about being safe, following their own roles and rules, and comforting the other when they were about to lose their minds and hopes. These kinds of behaviors could lead to people being more calm and safe.
The other central idea I found was never losing hope.
Even though miners were in urgent problem, they tried their best to survive. They always endured by thinking of their family. Every miners became one’s supporter. Because of this, no one could lose their hopes, and as a result they could all be safe.
That is it for my blog. Thanks to everyone who read through all of this. Again, “Trapped” is a really good book so I recommend you to read it.
Should Roger run away or trust the woman?
This found poem is made from the book called “Thank You, M’am”. In the story, the boy named Roger tries to steal a big woman’s purse to get his suede shoes even though he knows that what he’s doing is wrong. But he fails and instead of getting a purse, he makes the woman mad. However, she didn’t take him to police but takes him to her home. Unlike Roger having a conflict with himself whether to believe her or run away, she takes care of him with her kindness and sympathy as if she’s taking care of her real son. As a result, Roger reflects himself deeply and decide to never do this kind of bad things again. This is from the 27th sentence to 45th sentence, where the woman is still trying to give him some food and Roger still wondering whether to go out or trust her. I wanted to show the internal conflict Roger is having with himself either to go out or not. The picture is for showing Roger having a deep thinking.
