Autochrome

This autochrome photograph is a picture of a little boy who is sitting in a what  looks like a man made wooden plane. The air plane happens to be hanging from a pole which is on the sidewalk of the street. The boy is alone and is dressed as if he was a pilot. This picture was taken in 1915 by a french autochrome photographer named Léon Gimpel. The intention of the photograph is to show what the boy is doing. This is picture is a bit strange because the boys face is very serious and he is by himself in the photograph. The photograph could of possibly wanted to show that this little boy was very serious about what he wanted to do, maybe it's his dream when he gets older. I personally like this picture. It just strange because of the expression the boy has on his face. You normally wouldn't just see this on the street it is very odd.

Black and white pinhole Critique

This is a black and white pinhole photograph. It is most likely been in shot in a city. The intention was to show the word slow that is written on the street. The word slow is written on the wider part of the street and with the motion blur it leads you into the narrower part of the street. I like how to this picture is set up because it says slow but then make you want to continue down the really tiny path of the street while the building keep going with the street. I like how it is mysterious because of the way the street is dark in the front and while it keeps going back the street gets a lot lighter. This picture is successful in my point of view just because of the word slow is a motion blur and how the edges of the pictures are very dark.

Cyanotype

The cyanotype shows the artists point of view on real things in life. She shows the nature of things in her cyanotype with different colors. The fact that she used an actual object for her cyanotype doesn't make a difference because it just shows how real the cyanotype is. The cyanotype shouldn't effected her audience because of the beauty of the colors just make the images stand out. A modern photograph would be able to achieve all those limitations, might not be exactly the same because you wouldn't be able to see as much details. If you could edit the picture in a program I am positive you could get the same picture. The formal qualities of the image does not give unwanted aesthetic resonance to the image. It makes the image that much better showing the details and colors that she wanted the photograph to look like, it just almost looks real.
