Context in Photography

This Picture is one of the series that John Baldassari took, well known as the name ‘wrong’.  There is just an old man standing somewhere, below the picture it has a context  that says ‘wrong’. It broke many rules of photos, such as the clear point of view.  Sometimes it’s confusing to know the reason why the author took this photo.  It seems like this is not a good picture. However, I think Baldassari wanted us to know that by a context, a bad picture can be a good picture. Since the context shows the reason why an artist took this picture, people not only understand the picture, but also figure out the reason which the author demonstrated.  Moreover, by the context, the photo has the meaning and the topic. As a result, I think Baldassari’s photo is not a bad photo at all.

Welcome to Your New Blog!

When you blog you create posts and posts are categorised according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you. If you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:

  • An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category.
  • Body – this is where you share your learning. This can include text, images, embedded videos from Dragons’ Tube or elsewhere. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging? Do they want to keep reading?
  • Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
