Archival ink jet print: 40"x 41"
This image is of a woman in a office putting files in a foder. This work is uneac because it is a single image composed of meany images with different focal points put together to make one flowing image. This artist uses point of view, depth of feild, distence from the subject, color, and contrast.
My interpritation of this image is that overall the point of the picture is to be looked at and passed over. This image to someone who dose not know photography and how a camera foceses might not even know anything is wrong with an image like this one. Some people might know there is something wrong but just accept it. The image is beutiful and keeps a viewer constently moving in and out of the image in a way that would not flow from a regular photograph.

This photograph is an image of a sergeant that got his face and skull blown off in Iraq. This image is strong because of its use of distance from the subject, placement of subject on the page, negative space, point of view/ angel of view, depth of field, & color.
The image can be interpreted that it is showing the negative effects of war. Nina is showing this idea in a way current with what is going on with the world today. Throughout her series she shows the wounds next to the ages of the people who have received the purple heart. This award is suppose to represent bravery and getting wounded in the line of duty but the images show nothing more than a young man who will live the rest of his life deformed.

TITLE: Mexico City 5
MEDIUM: c-print mounted between plexi
SIZE: h: 37.5 x w: 30 in.
EDITION/ SET of 20
This is an image of a lot of naked people with all of there arms around each other in Mexico City. This image uses depth of field, space, point of view, distance of subject, and repetition to create a visually appealing picture. The image uses a extended depth of field to show everyone in focus. The artist also filled all of the space on the ground with naked people. The artist also selected a further distance from the subjects to lesson the details in individuals being nude but instead on the fact that everyone is nude in the image, but not in gory detail. The artist also uses a higher up angle of view to show the buildings and to show the crowed of people going into the distance. Repetition is the strongest element in this image. The repetition of the people in the image creates a strong texture that covers more than half the frame.
This image can be interpreted to show that people should bond together. I take this from the image because all of the people in the image are holding each other in kind of a one for all manner. The image shows people in there simplest form, nude, and in public where nudity is not normally accepted. Boned this he shows men and women together naked in the same image with no separation between them. Photographing them from behind also takes away the gender of the individual people. So in the end this photograph shows something that without the photographers planning could have never been seen. This many people would not gather together in an area such as this and get nude and face all face the same direction. It is a great image that shows so many naked people telling one from another is impossible when the eye moves deeper in the image.
