The trip to the Green-Wood Cemetery was extremely amazing. A very nice Sunny day provided us the best lighting condition. Just before we went to the cemetery, we had learned that it is not only a cemetery but a very beautiful ,historical spot for visitors. In the Cemetery, I saw beautiful design for all the tombs with sculptures and plants. Overall, the atmosphere there is not mystery at all but elegant and pleasant.

Photo – Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao LIRR, Hunters Point, 2004
1. A large-scale panoramic photograph that was taken near 7 train station during sunset.
2. I guess Jeff Chien was trying to show people how nice the view is while taking the 7 train. And the photo was taken during the sunset, sort of giving some warm feeling to it.
3. I think the photographer was trying to emphasis the atmosphere of the photo that is warm and relaxing feeling with the large-scale and also the magnificent details of the urban environment.
4. I don’t think technical matters help the image. But I think the main point of this photo is the light. Without the sunset, the whole image would not be much contrast.
5. The thing I see is the guy in the middle, and then I would think if this is a combination of two different scenes since the photo is in high contrast and the left side of the photo which is the subway station under the bridge is in low key.
6. I found the shadows of people, buildings, cars and the colors of the clouds very interesting when I looked close to the photo. They created more straight lines of the photo.
7. Obviously the photograph has emotional impact like peacefulness and warmness.
8. Compare to other photographers, Jeff’s photos show emotions by the light, high contrast and large-scale.
