This is an image that is composed of four different images. First of all, the scene is set in an image of the clouds in the sky and sitting atop the clouds are chairs that are organized into a circle facing each other. Coming out of the circle are flying papers and a man is walking away from the commotion. The image is Black and white and the figure is not identifiable and has no features. The lighting is a healthy balance of shadows and highlights based on its black and white nature. The picture of the sky seems to have been taken at midday and not at night or in direct sunlight.

This image is in an almost dreamlike setting. It is set in the sky above the clouds. There are 10 chairs circled around each other with papers flying about them, and there is something systematic about the way that those papers, maybe drawings, fly together. We can see a man further away who could either be standing there or walking away. The image is black and white, however there are not very many dark shadows at all.

The image is set in the clouds with chairs, a shadowy figure, and paper flying from the circle of chairs. The shadowy figure appears to be walking away the circle of chairs. The paper flying away appears to have text on them and maybe important to the shadowy figure. The image does not contain any clears colors or vibrance. It is dark and somewhat gloomy. The image uses very little light even it is balanced in exposure.

The Committee by Jerry Uelsmann is a composite photograph published in a monograph in 2002. At the time this picture was taken in the 70s, software was not yet available to edit digital photography. Uelsmann however, was able to create a technique to manipulate film himself in a darkroom to produce supernatural images. In this particular scene, a shadowy figure is seen walking on the clouds away from a circle of chairs. Papers are seen thrown up in the sky, but the man isn’t looking back to see what is going on behind him.

The photograph created Jerry Uelsmann depicts someone walking away from a bunch of chairs with papers flying over the chairs. The image uses black and white in order to give the image a sort of sad mood. The lighting is rather dark, but the place it is taken seems as if it should be fairly bright. The objects in the image are chairs and papers. In the image, papers are flying above chairs while a man walks away, while above the clouds. 1/13/2020 12:31:32 pm
The image is of a person walking away from a circle of chairs. Both the chairs and the person are high above in the clouds. From the center in the circle of chairs pieces of paper can be seen flying either into it or away from it. The picture is in black and white to add a sad tone. No specifics such as the man’s face and the writing on the paper can be made out.

This image is of someone walking on clouds with a paper tornado surrounded by chairs behind them. The image is in black and white. The lighting is provided by a sun covered by clouds. There are chairs, clouds, papers and a person in the image.

This image appears to be of a circle of chairs up in the clouds, with papers flying away and a man walking away from the circle. It is black and white, so you can’t tell what colors are in the image. When I zoom in, it looks like the papers are either pictures or newspaper articles. The light is filtering through the clouds and focusing on the circle, while the outer edges of the image is quite dark. The sky is also very dark. Comments are closed.
