Each week, we will write a critical analysis on a work of photographic art. An image will be published weekly on our class blog. Spend time studying the image and then write a detailed analysis of the photograph. Publish your analysis as a comment to the blog post; this comment should show the student’s name, time posted, and word count. The analysis must be posted to the original blog post in order to be graded.
All analyses must be 4 paragraphs minimum, 5 sentences minimum per paragraph unless otherwise noted. Students will write eleven critical analyses per semester, and the lowest grade per semester will be dropped. Refer to your "How to See" handout for analyzing a photograph--

This monochromatic image is of an elderly couple, they appear to be tourists at Mount Rushmore. We can see the memorial through the reflection of the window that is behind the two people. They are looking at Mount Rushmore while the photographer is looking at them. There are also many other people in this area, and we can see them in the window reflection. There seems to be some type of visitor center or museum behind the people being photographed.

This is supposed to be 4 paragraphs, but its hard to see the separation between the third and fourth paragraphs. The fourth paragraph starts with "I like this picture, I think it is very interesting".

This image is of two elderly people, most likely a couple who are looking at and taking pictures of Mount Rushmore, which you can see behind them in the reflection of the window.

I don't know why but it automatically cut off the first sentence from the second one.

In this image you can see many things. You can see the two elderly people looking and taking pictures of Mount Rushmore. You can also see flections of people and trees in the background. This picture is a monochromatic picture. I looks like this picture was taken during the day, but it is kind of hard to tell since the picture is in black and white. You can tell that this picture is from around the 70s because of the clothes the people are wearing and because of the cameras they are using.

This image is of two elderly tourists observing and taking pictures of Mount Rushmore. They appear to be a couple, and we are able to see the reflection of an American Landmark in the background. This picture is being displayed in black and white and it adds a more sophisticated outlook. I believe this was taken during the day, even though it’s a little hard to tell because of its color. You can see the light hitting the two main objects,or people in this photograph, the statue in the background as a reflection, and the other tourists.

1. The image consists of an elderly couple looking into Mt. Rushmore behind the photographer. We can see what the couple is looking at because of the reflection from the windows of a building. In the other side, we can see a mix of people in the reflection and in the building. The photo is black and white to make it feel like this is an ordinary moment in life. The lighting is bright sunlight. The objects included in this image are people, a building, windows, and a mountain/ Mt. Rushmore. The elderly couple are holding a camera and a binocular, the building in the background is a museum or a gift shop, the windows reflect the mountain, the mountain has Mt. rushmore on it.

In this image there is an infinite amount of things anyone can see. For example someone can see the subject of the picture,the two elderly people or someone else's eye may be directed to mount rushmore or the people in the background. When I see the image I instantly am focused on the elderly couple. The elderly couple is one of the many subjects in the image. There are trees, people, windows,window panes and mount rushmore. This image is monochromatic which I think gives it a different meaning,it give the image a different character.

In this image we see an elderly couple looking up with binoculars at Mount Rushmore. Behind them are glass window panes, and you can see the people standing on the other side of them, and the reflection of people standing behind the photographer. It was taken in black and white which gives it a darker mood. The elderly couple are well lit and there are no shadows on them.

This image is a picture of a man and a woman gazing at Mt. Rushmore. The picture is taken in black white, monochrome, maybe for an old-looking effect. The lighting has dark shadows but also light greyish that could be the blue sky reflecting. The faces in this image look like an older couple and in the image altogether there is mostly older people. In the image a old couple is looking at Mt. Rushmore, there are people inside reading informational slides about the attraction or the presidents forever carved in the mountain.

This picture taken by Lee Friedlander shows a picture of an old couple looking at Mt.rushmore. You can tell that the couple aren't your average locals but that there tourists.they have binoculars in there hands because they probably want to look at the extra details on the monument.
This photo is of two people, a man and a woman, who are taking a picture of the all-famous Mount Rushmore. The colors in the photo were dark and a little bit of light. It is a gloomy day but still a good day t take pictures of the Mountain. There is a crowd of people also there to take pictures because it is very famous.
