The first section is on the documentry. This image is being proposed as the culture of young adults. This is imaged by the way they hold their stance and the way they are dressed. This documents their point in society and their status.
Also another theory would be that of the commodity. These people are showing off what is being sold in the market place. It shows what is in to be part of society and have some sort of status. The image is that in order to be in society you must buy these clothes.
The final theory would be that of semiotics or how a person reads the image. To analyze tgis particular image it shows the more popular kids. The ones every one wants to be like. This is shown from their non chalant attitude and the way they are leaning against a wall. They try to be superior simply by looking away from the lense and not showing concern for the others around. THeir clothes signify popularity and high status. That of If you want to be like us do as we do.

I chose this one since it is of a bench and yet it is not being used by anyone so it is solitary

I chose this one since it depicts a lazy day where you can go fishing and relax under a tree

I chose this one do to the mysterous nature of what could be in the hole. A snakke or a small mammal

week 10

I chose this one considering the attentiveness of the dog as it waits for its master

I chose this one considering its an outside culture with the veiwer looking in

I chose this one do to a different culture and the foods that they eat

I chose this one for the unique perspective

Rineke Dijkstra

Self Portrait #4

2003

pigment print

edition of 7

44 x 54 inches  (111.8 x 137.2 cm)

http://www.regenprojects.com/exhibitions/2004-06-jack-pierson/images/

these images are alike since they both depict the human body as a subject. They both show a young adult at a sitting. They show that of the human body. They are not alike due to the homosexual ideal of the bor with homoerotic sub text. Where as with the girl she is more objectified with the use of her school girl apparal

I chose that one since it has an intresting angle

I chose this one because it looks like the iconic house from amittyville

I chose this since it has intresting pattern through the whole room

224.1989

http://moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A5030&page_number=17&template_id=1&sort_order=1

I chose each of these images since they are both of people loooking directly at the camera

They both have in common that of being women and relativly young. Each could be rather pretty

They dont have in common is that of nudity compared to being in swim suits. That the one on top is a model and the othwers are just young kids posing for a candid shot

Rosenberg is wrong due to the account that images are currently still being used in a different way then was in style the first time the show was released. 

I chose this one since it has a cool design

I chose this one for its subject

I chose this one for informal composition

In every case of these artists they seem to all have the common thing of documentery

I chose this one for the snap shot quality

I chose this one for the way that the bridge is corroding

I chose this one for its shadows that go along with the background
