HOW: The human eye is not able to accumulate light as a censor or film. Camera can detect light when the human eye cannot. This seems obvious, but, it puts any kind of subject in a different perspective. The subject reveals a sort of hidden energy. Objects and subjects change based on the lighting, so sometimes shadows give more information about the subject.

Memory is pretty much linked to pictures these days. Pictures usually record the beautiful memories in our lives. They also remind us of these happy moments that we lived. Mostly, we I look back to old pictures when we want to remember the past that will never come back again. Still, we have to experience every moment and hold on to that memory after all pictures won’t bring back these small pieces of our lives.
Anastasiya Shmatina about Memory...
Memory is the bridge between our past and present. Photo allows you to catch a moment and pull this moment out from the flow of time. Memory can help to recall the past moment, but there must be some sort of stimulus that will activate our memory. And this stimulus is the photo: when you look at the photo taken years ago, you start to go back in time and recall everything.
mohamed memory
the photo shows very little but very important features of my grandfather, for example he always carried around a camera with him whenever he traveled, just as you can see on the photo in the bottom right corner, the photo also shows him wearing a suit, he was known for being classy and a ambitious yet hardworking and respected man. I was really young when he passed away but I've heard a lot about him , but i always understand more from photos.
Abdul
This picture is there to remind us that old moment, and at the same time it makes us don't forget the blurred lines on the picture. This picture could be an Instagram, but its not. This picture reminds us of the atmosphere of the past, and the ways picture were maid. Colors were not so clear as its today.
What is memory?
Its a specific moment that will never occur again. It is directly connected with photography because that is what allows us to see that moment once again. It could be in black and white, or the colours appear to be different in the picture. Although if we ever forgot about that memory and moment we once had, we take out that photograph and we are once reminded of the feelings and emotions that the image itself gave us.

I have no before and after pictures but where I used to go to the park is now replaced by a race track. The park was very small and inferior so nobody really went there. This memory seems in black and white because it as so long ago and I have no pictures to reminisce. Memory is so important because its something only you have, no one else has the same memory as you.

2. Fine Art
3. The subject is the children playing and skipping
4. It is a black and white picture. It shows movement and placement.
4. The form and space in this picture could give the impression that it was not planned, although the picture is very balanced as well as the building in the background which helps to even the picture out.
Analysis:
1. The thing that stands out the most is the movement of the little girl in the middle. Showing an instant moment swell as the movement of the women in the background.
2. On the sides of the picture there are two children at the same eye-level, then the other two children which begin to give depth. Lastly the woman in movement as well as the two women in the distance balance the picture out.
3. The only contrast seen is the white roofs of the 'stores', with everything else that is black/grey.
Interpretation:
1. It is about showing the lifestyle of children in a specific period in a specific place.
2.The message is quiet simple. the everyday life.
3. The picture doesn't really have much of a purpose besides showing how a child had fun previously.
4. In a sense it reminds me of my childhood as that was a game I used to play.
Evaluation:
1. No it didn't because the picture is simple and clear.
2. Yes because of how balanced it is, as well as the instant movement seen in it.
3. Yes I think it is, because recapturing a moment like this could not happen.
4. Probably not
5. Yes i understand the subject matter, and the elements are cortical because they allow you to visualise what is actually there and what is happening.
6. Yes very well
7. Yes I would.
8. Yes, spacing
9. Not really

The picture is fancy. It is a fashion portrait. The main subject is the woman. The picture is black and white, there is a strong contrast between the black dress and white background. The picture is well-composed. The eyes of the woman tell us her story. She is wealthy or pretends to be, but she doesn't look happy. She seems to be tired. I would call this photo "It's hard to be famous".
The photo is focused on the woman, the background is blurry. The lens is normal because the perspective looks natural. I wouldn't buy this picture to hang in my house but I might buy a magazine with the cover like this. You can tell that the picture was made by a professional photographer, but it is not unique.
