1. The article “The Science of Fatherhood: Why Dads Matter” is about the importance of a Dad in a child’s life. It explains how their love, influence and persistence positively affect the child’s life even if they’re not the biological parent. The article goes into detail explaining how children are less likely to get into trouble and more likely to succeed in school and in life with the presence of a father figure in their lives.
2. The audience is everyone but particularly fathers.
3. I am taking both a literal and Metaphorical approach by using both models and objects that represent the presence and absence of a father.
4. The pictures will include both models and props.
5. I will be using a child and possibly an adult.
6. “Father-son” related props. Ties, shoes, baseball gloves..
7. Brightly lit studio lighting.
8. Making the studio area bright and fun will show the article in a positive way, bringing out the benefits and positive parts of fatherhood.

In “she being Brand” the narrator compare’s a woman’s first time to an experience driving a car. He describes intimate details with her as if he was talking about the car. The way he uses descriptive words such as “thoroughly oiled” and “slipped the clutch” give the feelings of tension and excitement building up and it continues though to the end. The metaphors lets the reader understand the feelings the narrator is feeling on a more personal level especially if the reader felt that excitement driving. The best way to portray this photo would be to use an old style car, preferably red, shiny, like new. It should have a dark background (feelings intensify in darkness) gives it a more intimate feeling..

The story “Coming Home, Detroit, 1968” has a more depressing and humble feeling. The poem is about returning to the town during the time of riots and chaos. A car slowly drives through the city while taking in all the surroundings. There is pain and disappointment in this poem. I don’t if i would have a dim grayish lighting for the pictures or something also with red (which seems to be my favorite color) to show anger, fire maybe.

Michael Pollany writes about potatoes he grew for a year that he won’t be able to replant and grow again the following year. He explains how expensive and dangerous to our health farm grown products are. According to Poland, farm grown products take longer and feed less people than his and even though growing his crop is expensive as well, it will produce more to feed more and it will be safer to ingest. To portray the look of engineered foods it may be best to have the potato look as if it is in a science lab or make it look a little abnormal.

When I think of Idaho potatoes I think of fresh food, rich soils and green fields. So, for this picture I would like to bring as much of that forward as possible.

Taking the pictures of the Potatoes was fun. It was interesting to see the different ways you can position or manipulate the potato for the photos. Figuring out which background and surrounding for the look we wanted was difficult but learning there could be so many options made the process worth it.
