Photography

The embedding of photography into the U.S. Military was very moving because it gives such an in depth, up close look at what goes on to those who don't witness it first hand. The way that the photo is shown in black and white, simplifies it so the viewer isn't looking at color its more of a view of the action occurring. Seeing the grain captures the effect of the act, fighting is dirty it shouldn't be a clean and clear image its a messy action and is beautifully depicted.

The way that Platon is able to photograph actions and individuals in a way that captures their essence using different focuses and perspectives is noticeable in his images. Within different scenarios Platon impressively connects and displays each in a way conducive to that individual subject or individual to tell a story to the viewer.

this is an image of me interacting with my cat, it may not be observable but we have an extremely close connection and always have. I chose Furnando as a perfect subject to display myself visibly connecting with in an image because we have such a great bond and this was such a meaningful day and moment. Recently we found out that he is incredibly sick and doesn't have much longer to live so this past weekend I flew home and we've been gibing him as much love as possible in his (hopefully not) final days. The image shows me kissing him on the head when he woke up that morning, giving him constant reminders that he's not alone, especially after being away at school for so long.
