I decided to take a really close look at this famous photograph by Lee Friedlander. I thought about the following:
How would I describe this photograph to a person who could not see it?
How is space represented in this photograph (foreground, middle ground, background)?
What is in or out of focus? How has the subject been framed/cropped?
Which part of the photograph strikes me as most interesting - captivating, surprising, puzzling, mysterious? Why?
What questions would I ask the artist about this work, if s/he were here?
What do I think it would be like to live in this photograph? What makes me think that?
Why do I suppose the artist made this photograph? What makes me think that?
What do I think is effective about this photograph? What doesn’t work so well?
I would start by describing what day it was and because its not printed in colour it is harder to work it out but I looked at the shadow so it meant that there was a light of kind shining onto the sign so this meant it was ever early in the day or later at night.I know this because it looks like the artist is standing in front of the sun. The next thing I would put out is in the left side of picture there is a big patch of rocks and mud but at the fare back on the left side there is a triangular looking tree, a rectangular caravan, and a wight triangular house.Right at the front of the picture there is a sign and there is a cloud on top of there sign that makes it look like a IceCream.
Foregrounded: there is a triangler upside down sign and a cloud lookes like its on top of the sighn that makes it look like there is a big ice cream. Middle grounded:in the middle grounded there is a wight triangular house in the fare back of the picture there are some cares that looks like they are driving of the picture. the whole composition is in focus because I can see the whole picture clearly except from the cars in the far back right hand side corner.
the most part of the picture I find the most intresiting surprising and puzzling is the way the have made the clouds look like an ice-cream.
