A View of Bedford Park Blvd

Bedford Park Blvd is a very busy area, where people pass each and every day to work, hospitals and school since Lehman College is only three minutes walk from the four train station. This photo is an art also in this photo, the composition makes it one of a kind whereby the shapes and vantage point where by this photo was taking makes it intriguing for the framing of this picture. I also chose this photo because it has space, and also shows people and objects in motion. You can see the train tracks, people crossing the street, cars waiting for the traffic light to switch to green, to proceed movement and also some people filling their cars at the gulf gas station, whiles some people are having conversation beside the tree that is behind the gulf gas station. There is also a internet company named Verizon in the right side of the picture and also the proportions of this photo makes it very interesting to analyze. There is also a gas station filled with cars. Not to forget there is a bird also flying in front of an incoming Nissan rouge which is approaching the traffic light.

A Broad View of the New York Subway 4 Train Line At Mosholu Parkway

This part of the Bronx has been always lively from the noise of cars, motorcycles and more from the train which runs every six to twelve minutes. This is photo is an art, the balance and composition of this photo makes it very interesting to look it. Also you can see trains going at each direction with one going to the last stop, which is Woodlawn and the other facing the direction of New lots Avenue. There is also a white van in this photo that is parked and has a wet ground where people hand wash their cars and there is someone standing there. A lot of project buildings are in this neighborhood. In this photo also you can see the space and scale of how the photo is been taken not only that, but there is a train maintenance station and parking space where most of the trains are serviced not only the four train but others as well like the D and other many. The vantage point of the photographer makes the photo attracting. Cars are parked in the parking lot of a housing projects and also the blue building in the picture is a church and the building adjacent to the train tracks on the right is the building of the New York City Sanitations.

 

Views Of Jerome Park Reservoir And The George Washington Bridge

This picture taken in the sunny daytime is an art photo. This is the George Washington bridge, including the neighboring houses around Washington heights and Highbridge. The light which is been reflected by the sun unto the water and the wind blowing over it makes it look like a silver ripple. When you look closer to the bridge you can see cars moving on the bridge heading to New Jersey and also entering New York with a little bit of traffic. You can also see trees and plants around this place which makes it a very comfortable view to stare at, or go rest under the trees and get some shade and fresh air. Also there is a baseball field in this photo, which is close by Lehman College which makes it more of an attraction site to visit for students and others. The empty space that is seen by the reservoir is a parking lot for cars. I chose this photo because of the calming feeling it gives when you stare at it because of how it is surrounded by nature. While I like all the three pictures I prefer the second photo because it gives me more view of the neighborhood and how you get to see the trains and all these nicely built apartment and offices. The focus of this picture is also based on the the water and the bridge. When you also look towards the bridge you can see a straight road and also a tall white building which is the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Teju-Cole’s “Perfect And Unrehearsed” Photo Essay By Caleb Aryeetey

In Teju-Coles, photo essay my favorite photo is the Three boys in Liberia by Martin Munkacsi and Howard Greenberg Gallery. This type of photo is an art photo the reason for stating this is because you can see water and the sand. And also what was happening in the picture is a group of three friends who went to the beach to surf it, and they were both enjoying the water by running in and out of it chasing each other around for the fun of it. I can also express that they were all very happy enjoying the waves and scenery of the sea. The dominant expression in this photo was the fun and joy that they felt whiles doing this activity. I also noticed that they were racing each other to see who was going to get into the water first. I will say yes this photo tells a story of how three Liberian friends spent time to do fun activities that will make them happy and also help them make their friendship grow more stronger, because I can tell they were really enjoying the splashes of the water and the waves since it was a hot day.
