Assignment #8

1. What does it mean to check the “stack with original” box in LR Preferences: External editing? Why is this helpful?
What it means in the external editing is that the copy which is an edited image of your original will be located or place next to the image you started off with. It is helpful because then in Lightroom it will be easier to find the image.  

2. How can scanners create compelling photographs “that require neither film nor camera”?

3. In what way is the role Gregory Crewdson plays in creating his photographs different than what we typically assume of a photographer?
Gregory Crewdson is different than what we typically assume of what a photographer should be like because most of us just think photographers shoot pictures of what is typically in front of us.  Like for example nothing out of the ordinary like Times Square or NYC skyline. But, Crewdson actually gets a group of people to help him through different aspects of the image so he could manipulate it the way he wants to.

3. Adams writes that landscape pictures function on 3 levels- geography, autobiography, metaphor. Describe what he means by each. 

For geography, he just means that the picture is some evidence of the place at the exact time the picture was taken.
For autobiography, he says that this is when the one photographing is putting his/her input. Also that it is what the photographer, although the place is already there, puts his experience through the image.
For metaphor, Adam means that the one seeing the picture is the one deciding how to look at the picture.For example if they want to see it another way rather than the way the photographer photographed it, they could or they could see it through the eyes and experience of the photographer.
