Assignment 4: Continuing the Conversation

Q We spoke this week about Anthony's photography of architecture. For this week, please go out and take a picture of a building that you find truly captivating (or at least very interesting in some way). Upload the image to the course site and talk about why you chose this structure, why you chose the angle you did, and how your photographic choices affect a viewer's sense of your building. Please note: We do not assume you are professional photographers! We are asking you to consider how the specific point of view you chose affects the way the picture is understood. Alternate approach to the same question: As an alternate way of approaching this question, take two pictures of the same part of the same building, but take each picture in such a way as to reveal two very different feelings or moods or characteristics of that building, and post both images with a description. With either question, we are asking you to consider how formal elements such as the framing and point of view, the horizontality or verticality of the visual field ("landscape" or "portrait"), the time of day, the degree of light and dark, and many other visual elements affect the way the observer understands the building you are portraying. Your post should be two to three (well-developed) paragraphs long. You may also upload descriptive text, a YouTube link, or an MP3 file. View and comment on at least one of your classmates' posts.

I was not able to go personally to take the pictures due to some physical complications so I decided to collect some pictures from the Goggle and I chose the Capitol building which is one of the most majestic buildings in the United States. It can be said that first picture shows how the Capitol building has been created by including Greek elements within the building such as huge Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns. The white structure of the building shows the impact of the Greek Parthenon building along with the huge green lawn in front of it that could be found in ancient Greek temples
