Conceptual Photography

1a) I think this is a great photo with good focus and composition.
1b) This photo is focused and the exposure is used to make the picture look dark.
1c) I think the lighting and the focus is appropriate for this image.
1d)This photograph is in focus and the top half of the photo is darker than the bottom half.
1e) It is hard to tell whether the photo is in focus or not because the subject is so far away.
2) All of the photos I have chosen have parts with dark lighting.
3) With the exception of one, all of these photos seem to have a negative mood to me.
4b) The photo shows what I presume is a male rolling some dice. I took a darker approach while observing this photo and came to the conclusion that this man has some sort of problem with gambling and is trying to win back his debt.
4d) I think the story in this photograph is of two little girls who may not live in an ideal place but are having fun doing the best that they can.

Gottfried Helnwein part 2

I wouldn't say that this viewpoint changed my interpretation because I originally had thought it looked like a billboard and the reality is pretty close to my guess. There is a giant poster of young female taking up the whole side of a building. To me, the female has one of those faces where it is hard to observe if she is young or if she is older with the face of a young girl. I can't tell if the image is contiguous or not. I think this is in an industrial location. You can see a vehicle in front of it so I would assume people are permitted to drive in that area, in addition to how large it is I think everyone will see *the it. I can't really distinguish the emotion of the girl in the image. If I'm being honest, I don't see the point to this piece thus, making it more difficult for me to answer some of these questions.

The background of the photo is about half of a woman's face and the photo shows a man on a rope climbing the face about two-thirds up the picture. To me, think it looks like it is picture of a man climbing up a billboard of a woman's face. I believe that it is both an artistic and documentary image. I don't think it was photoshopped. I can't come up with any possible meaning or intent in the image.
