Great Delaware Water Gap Adventure

Mountain struggle:

Mountain Struggle: Never in 1 million years have I ever considered hiking up a mountain. The only reason I thought about it was because I was bored in the summer and I don’t regret it either. Not only did I hike up this mountain once, but three times, and each one had a different experience. From the cold water, I jumped onto the top of the mountain and saw heaven.

Heaven & Earth: I took a picture of the top of the Delaware Water Gap mountain. The domain impression would be the sun. It kinda looks like an angle this is also an art photo. the way the lights look down and towards earth and shadows below makes this photo I took amazing. It took me 3-4 hours to reach the top of the mountain.

Flat Earth: This picture I took was also taken at the top of this mountain. there is a lot of green from the trees and the mountain covered by trees, blue from the sky, and brown from the rocks. From this picture, it looks like the Earth goes on forever, or it can look like the Earth stops at the far reach of the picture.

Perfect and Unrehearsed”-Ranold D

In Teju Coles’ essay “Perfect and Unrehearsed” I feel as if Suzhou Creek by Henri Cartier-Bresson is a portrait photo and a documentary too. The photograph has people holding up a cross while at the same time, you see what they’re doing which makes it a documentary too. The reason for me choosing the second photo was the way I look at it it’s kinda funny to me. It looks like the people were working hard all day by the docks which I can only assume that their probably fishing. As you see everyone else still working you see another guy who looks like he’s tired and wants to go home and he just doesn’t want to be there. That’s why it was funny to me because as soon as I go into I just don’t wanna be there. The dominant impression is the cross in the photo. Other than the guys sitting on the doc the cross was the first thing that caught my attention. The reason it probably caught my attention is because religion is a big part of life which made me attracted to the cross first.
