SZARKOWSKI'S 5
Journal #2


The Thing Itself
According to Szarkowski, photography deals with the actual. This being true he goes on to say that the photograph is a different thing than the reality. Szarkowski says that the photograph "was likely to claim that what our eyes saw was an illusion, and what the camera saw was the truth."

The Detail
"The photographer was tied to the facts of things," Szarkowski says. Detail is something that is recorded by photography. Pictures can record things with such detail that, according to Szarkowski, can make the trivial things be filled with undiscovered meaning.

The Frame
The idea of the frame being an element of photography is because the frame has the ability to "create a relationship between two figures that had not existed before," says Szarkowski. The frame in photography puts a border on reality. In a way it limits a photographers ability to accurately record reality because it limits the amount of information that can fit into a picture. The frame crops things out and creates new shapes at the boarders of a picture.

Time
Szarkowski says, "all photographs are time exposures, of a shorter or longer duration." No picture is static but rather a moment in time. It could be a couple of seconds, couple of fractions of a second, or a couple of minutes.

Vantage Point

Vantage point is the use of different angles of sight. Photography doesn't have to be just our normal 5 to 6 foot high straight on view but rather it could be an ants view or a birds eye view. Szarkowski says, "[photography] has taught us to see from the unexpected vantage point."

MILWAUKEE BREWERS

The very first thing I did for The Leader was a photo essay on the Milwaukee Brewers. The following pictures were taken on April 1-3, 2005. The first three were published on April 13, 2005. The last four I added for this post.



2005 was, number 7, J.J. Hardy's rookie season with the Brewers.


Chad Moeller caught in 65 games this year and had only 4 passed balls.


Because of injuries, Ben Sheets only started in 22 games this year.


In 2005 Jeff Cirillio batted .281. In 1999, the last year Cirillo played for the Brewers, he batted .326.


In Carlos Lee's first season with the Brewers he had 114 RBIs, putting him 6th overall in the National League.


2005 is Mark Attanasio's first year as owner of the Brewers. He has never owned a baseball team before, but used to be a New York Yankees fan.


Doug Melvin is the current Executive Vise President and General Mananger for the Brewers.

MY FAVORITE TIME OF LIGHTING
Journal #1


My favorite time of day is the morning. The fresh smell of dew on the grass to the long shadows of trees and buildings as the sun rises, everything seems to be starting up new. When I was in boy scouts and we would go camping, I always enjoyed waking up and being outside in the early morning hours.

However, my favorite time of day because of the light that is present is at night. This is somewhat crazy because there isn'’t much light at night. Besides the soft moon glowing in the sky, all light is man made. Light comes from artificial sources, street lamps, carÂ’s headlights, flashlights, and brightly lit store signs.

All this artificial lighting makes the night time lighting conditions so interesting. Every place you go, from the country side to the big city, has something different to see, if only because of the different night time lighting present.


Different light at various places in the night.

NIGHT TIME IN WAUKESHA

In my years of photography, one time of day I've never studied was night. When assigned to capture light in my JMC 232 Photojournalism class, I thought it would be interesting to capture light during the night.



Translated from the Potawatomi's native language, the name Waukesha means "By the Little Fox."


Architect Albert Keymar designed and built the Pix Theater in 1939-40. Today it houses the Waukesha Civic Theater.


PIZZERIA UNO'S

I've gone to Pizzeria Uno's thousands of times. So far this year I've worked over 2,500 hours. All those times, I've never really taken time to study my surroundings. Because of this I've missed out.


In our everyday world, there are a lot of things that go overlooked. Those things may have been magnificent.



Cabernet is the most popular wine served at Pizzeria Uno’s.


The first public demonstration of Thomas Edison's light bulb was December 31, 1879. This light bulb is located on the exterior of Pizzeria Uno's.
