1.Close UpPicture Number 1633For this compositional schema I chose a picture of a postal card of New York cover the skyline, twin towers included, universe held by a steel fence. Above it is some other picture masking Jesus kneeling. The two images are in the piazza of the picture creating a symmetrical balance. The repetitions of the fence forming the diamonds in the background window glass not make it go unnoticed because you realize that without it the pictures could not be held up. Looking closer you see that the image of Jesus and of New York are overlapping, and that overall this picture shows a figure-ground relationship. To me this picture can be looked at in two different ways. The fact that Jesus is above the postcard of New York to me indicates that the photographer is trying to that even after this terrible calamity that has happened to one of the worlds greatest cities, above all, we must have hope and religion that New York and America will recover. Because e ven though steel (hence the fence) could not hold up the towers our faith is stronger than steal and will overcome all obstacle.2.Long-ShotPicture Number 7274For the long shot I chose this pre 9/11 picture showing the New York city at night. It is not interpreted at ground view but instead is an aerial view. It looks as though e actually light in the city is on showing a full tonal range in this picture creating virtually a glowing aura. The twin towers are located in the midsection of the picture and from it there are 2 beams of light, one for each tower, arise from the ground into space. To me this picture puts emphasis on the twin Towers as being the heart and center of not only New York but mayhap of the entire earth. The light shining down on it looks like an talent source, or like it could be protecting it. The light to me can similarly be looked at as the souls of the race who died in the world handle center ascending to heaven, and perhaps the towers themselves as th e soul of New York climb to heaven.3. isolationPicture Number 7213The picture I chose to describe the Isolation compositional strategy is a picture that was taken of a very crowded area of new York. The entire picture is all kinds of people all heading in different direction, with their own adjendas.
