Allie Pugliese Assignment #1

I think most of the pieces in the show had a good working relationship with each other. Each different theme of picture had a different frame. The photographs taking place in the woods or fields had black frames. The photographs from other countries had gold frames, the black and white photographs also had black frames, and the last set of pictures from different highways is wide with no frames. I think the photos had a good relationship because they all included nature and human effects on nature. For example, the lone tree standing can represent how humans destroy forests. Also, the last photo by the water shows how humans change the beautiful scenery multiple times and destroy even their own history.


The colors used in this photograph are very earthy and natural. They are mostly green and different shades of browns that complement each other and create movement for your eyes to flow around the photo and take everything in. The lighting of the picture makes me look at the woman first. Then the color of her shirt makes me look at the leaves above her. The interesting shape of the plant pulls my eye around the top to the right, and then to the bottom to take in the rest of the picture.




I think this photograph is a good representation of how much the world is connected and how people are so similar to each other. When I first saw this picture, I thought this woman was from the U.S. I saw the tattoos and her style and thought she would be a rock chick from L.A. Then I saw the plant climbing on the building in the background and thought it was very interesting because I have never seen anything like that in the U.S. I read the tag to see where the photograph was taken and it said Italy. I thought it made sense for the plant to be from Italy but I was still surprised about the woman. Thinking back to the photo makes me think of learning about globalization in an Economics class I have. One of the major parts of globalization is that everyone in the world is connected by similar taste. Most countries in the world have McDonald's, heterosexuality is more accepted than homosexuality, and people wear jeans, parkas, and boots. This photo shows how young people in Italy are just like people in the U.S. and other countries. They like to express themselves through tattoos and their clothing.
