Funny Captions: The Right Way

A cool computer is a good computer.

But freezing a computer may turn out catastrophic for its lifespan.

Photo manipulation Ethics

the story mainly expresses the things that are done to photos among the photojournalists of the world. 4 pictures are edited to please the eye of another individual. the question stands as us it unethical to edit such photos to be deceptive. such as adding another missile in the missile test photo or removing the one woman from the photo with all of the men at a convention.

I believe the most unethical shot among the photos was the one that removed the single woman from the entire group of men. suppose the one woman wanted to be recognized for being there? perhaps she was somebody important such as a representative? you would never know until the lawsuit comes crashing down on your shoes. it is sexist and unnecessary even if it is just to please the eyes.

the least unethical picture is the one that shows the man working on the pipe. all it shows is an overlapped layer that should not be in that specific spot. there is a fine line between correct and wrong photo manipulation. maybe you wanted to enhance the photo so the picture can be clearly seen. that should be considered ethical in photo manipulation.

American Soldier: Evaluation

I believe that the most powerful photo in the sideshow was the one where he was holding the cross in his hand. I believe this because most it focuses mainly on the cross and nothing else.

I believe the most powerful sequences of photos is his training because it shows the different phases that he goes through in order make it through his rigors as a soldier.

the images work together to make a story because they are go through a sequencing of time showing what happens from a certain focal point. the story focuses on the point of when he is in Iraq. a past, present, future concept.

the verbs are typically written in past or present tense.

the captions enhance the photographs by telling the story behind what is going on.

Beauty: What Everyone Wants us to Look Like

changes made in the woman's face:

1. head was raised higher off the neck from original shot.
2.Hair was falsely created hair to fill in empty spaces in falsely swaying hair
3. shoulders and neck made to look thinner
4.eyes much larger than original
5. face rounded out and thinned out cheeks
6. lighting was added to brighten out and remove blemishes on face
7. lips much larger than original
8. imperfections removed for final detail


business is business. if people want to advertise false things about their products saying that it can make them look like a digitally altered person, then go ahead. Its not false advertisement, but it can destroy peoples lives because they think they can look like what people advertise.

a good example showing the wrongness is exactly that video. people are people not robots or computer altered characters.

some changes that could be except able would be things like the raising of the head off the neck and possibly filling in some spots of hair. otherwise I do not think all the rest would be except able.

photojournalism is the discussion and reporting of photos around the world and telling the stories behind them. with fashion photography your doing exactly opposite. your advertising a picture and CREATING and story behind it.

Photoj discusses what is happening to things, people, places ect. this usually expressed through good photography and is all about the real world. now fashion photography is all about the falseness of people and how they should look instead of what they do look like.
