What I first notice about this picture is the how different this pasta looks compared to what we are normally used to. The green bowl sticks out the most because it is the most colorful object in the entire picture. It does not look to appetizing to me. I would try it, but it doesn't look like I would enjoy it very much.
There is a dark green bowl sitting on a wooden table. It is a certain type of pasta with some red peppers that look like they are sweet and not spicy. The noodles are covered in what seems to be alfredo sauce. It looks as if there may also be chicken strips in the entree as well.
The placement in space isn't very good. it may look as if it were floating if not for the very little piece of the table that one can see. There are not very many vibrant colors and it seems rather boring. The lines in the table add some interest and the light reflecting in the table also makes it seem a little more interesting.
I do not think this photo tells much of a story. If I were to name it with one word it would be "Italian" There is not much to this picture and it does not leave much open for the imagination. It is just a plate of food that could be bad or delicious. To me it does not look very appeasing to me.
Richard's work is very mass-like and is extremely different compared to this photo. His work is much more creative than the picture I have taken. His work also does not have much color mixed in with his work.

The lines of this photograph lead my eyes right to the door at the end of the hallway. I notice the really shiny floor and the reflection of the lights. You can really tell that I am in the middle of a dorm or an apartment hallway. The colors on the wall jump out at me as well.

I am standing in the middle of a long hallway of what seems to be an apartment or my dorm hallway. The door right next to me are larger and the one in the middle at the end of the hall looks much smaller. There are different colored squares painted on the walls and the doors are made from wood and have silver door knobs. There are ceiling tiles and fluorescent lights within the tiles.

The lines are very straight and precise because of the architecture of the building. There is a sence of a small space and a very narrow feeling. There is not alot of color but the little bits of color do jump out at you. The black lines jump out at you and define the walls and the doorframes.

I think this picture has the word "dorm" written all over it. It tells everyone who has been through college about a very small room with two people in close quarters. Of 'all-nighters' and mircrowaving late night popcorn. It says its a good time and is the place to make friends. There is a fire alarm on the ceiling that reminds us of 2 o'clock in the morning awakenings from someone who thought it would be funny to pull the alarm.

Edward's work was very precise and exact. This photo is the same in that there is one-point perspective and shows the lines very well. His work is very neat as is this picture. His work is mostly the outside of buildings and mine photo is just a hallway. He found creative ways to draw perspective and is extremely good work.

I obviously notice the motorcycle in the front of the picture. The picture effects me in a way that makes me feel a sense of freedom and danger. However, considering it is my father's motorcycle there is no way any dangerous kind of feeling. I would love to learn how to drive it, but it is too big. The chrome on the bike really stands out to me. Maybe it is because of the shine or reflection of me taking the picture.
In the center of the picture there is a nice motorcycle. It is not a "hard-core" biker sort of bike though. It is obviously not a Harley Davidson, because if you know bikes, a Harley has a certain kind of look. This photo is black and white so there is no color. The motorcycle has leather saddle-bags and seat. There is a house in the background with the garage open. There is what looks to be a car in the garage and there is a porch to the right of the garage.
The line quality is very good because the pipes on the bike leads the eye extremely well. There is no color in this black and white photograph, but black and white make the picture more dramatic. The placement in space is not very creative, but it is still an awesome picture for those who like motorcycles.
I don't think that the picture tells a story. It might tell a story to the owner of the motorcycle, but to those who look at it, it looks like a motorcycle sitting in front of a garage. The one word that describes this picture would be, "mid-life-crisis" or phrase I suppose. My father bought this motorcycle and my mother and I believe it was because he is in his 50s. So I guess in a way this picture does tell a story, if you know the story.
This photo connects with Edgar's work in that the shadows are very distinctive. Other wise his photos are in color where as my photo is in black and white. His work almost seems a little gestural to me and my photo is very sharp edges and very clear and clean.

The First thing I notice about this photograph is the sun shining through a seemingly gray and cloudy day. There is not anything going on in this picture but the clouds and sun make it interesting. It makes me think of the 'heavens' and gives a warm feeling for me. It also makes me think that it could start raining at any moment.
In the lower half of the picture there are only three trees which lay on a flat landscape that is probably a field. The sky is very overcast. There are places of dark gray, but there is sun shinning through various places. Rays of sun are streaming down to the earth and they give the allusion that the heavens are breaking up.
The rays of sun make the eye lead to the ground and trees. There is no object in the picture but the sky itself. If you look closely there are some power lines running through the center of the picture, but the line does not lead your eyes in the wrong direction. They don't seem to affect the picture at all. The lightness of the sky and the darkness of the earth reminds me of heaven and hell. The darkness between the horizon and the sky is very clear where is starts and ends.
The photo does tell a story. As I said before it reminds me of hell on earth, or so some people call it that. The rays coming from the sky is a heaven, in some people's minds. If i were to describe this photo it would be "beautiful."
The black and white in the sky matches Durer's paintings in the fact that they are also black and white. Although they are extremely different in the fact that he drew imaginary creatures in his drawings. There are none of those in this picture, obviously. His pictures are very emotional but mine, however, is not.
