Werid & Funny


    The reading “On Photography” written by Susan Soritag made me think what photograph does to an individual.  I could not believe an image can being so much mysterious.  Someone could have a personal meaning to what a photo means to them.  Some would agree and disagree because people are using their brain to gather information on the scenery provided.  For example, someone can say that I am crazy for wearing a wig because I am a male.  Other could disagree because they see me being funny and trying to have appositive life by always having a smile.  The photograph will have a lot of meanings to everyone but the photographer knows but rather let us figure it out.
    Cindy Sherman is one famous photographer known of her dramatic lighting and strange subject. She had a good point on how a camera could be a paint brush but no one wants to waste their time in panting. Nowadays, people carry their phones which provides people to take selfies or special events that could be saved as a memory.  My idea of my selfie was someone using their imaginations by changing my hair style.  I wanted to show that I am always happy even if I have I have a wig or not.  I love how Cindy Sherman did not care what she was wearing.  She just keep dancing while looking at herself in the mirror and dressed up as a grandmother at a young age.  This made me feel like she did not care what other had to say on the way she dressed since she had the courage to go out in public looking as elder.
    Sherman’s fashion caught my attention because of all the bright color in your photograph.  Looking at her pictures of her taking woman in crazy colorful outfit was amazing.  I love the idea in how they made woman dressed beautiful but there was a catch. They were photographed standing in weird positions or make a funny faces.  I pictured Sherman being so created because she would always have a way to get a viewer of her painting attention.  As a result, I took her weird and funny theme and put it on my selfie.  
    Cindy Sherman effect was a way of how she saw the world and explore everything in the photo.  I used in my picture of her effect by using a filter because her images would be bright.  Cindy would always make the certain charter to stand out in the shoot.  The effect that I used to relate to her was do funny face and smile.  That will bring more attention to me by being different.  Cindy's images was different that made people think why she would do this.
