John Szarkowski’s, The Photographer’s Eye explains how the elements of a photo and why they look the way the do. The story also teaches you taught me about how the photographers control in the photo by using the frame and different vantage points to change the outlook of what the photographer will see as a whole with his own eyes. The advancement in shutter speed, materials more sensitive to light and better lenses changed the way humans looked at things. I thought it was neat and never really realized about the ancient drawing of horses legs where they all going forward until Muybridge changed it when he took a picture of the galloping horse showing its legs paused in time. In the reading although it says, that photography cannot tell a narrative. I don’t feel to really agree with that because when looking at a past photo of a family at the beach with the children burring each other in the sand tells a story to me. It can bring back a big long family discussion about the trip. The reading taught me a lot about photography I didn’t know due to the fact I’ve never really worked with photography.
