Thomas Alleman- "Hollywood 2004"
1. This photo seems to me to be an insight look into what goes on behind scenes. It acts almost like a real-life documentary to the oblivious world.
2. The photographer's intentions were to show that Hollywood is not all glamor and high-life. This photo offers the viewer a reality check.
3. The photographer has emphasized the center of the picture and blurred the outter edges. This makes the viewer focus on the rubble and letters first.
4. Technical matters that help the photograph are the backwards Hollywood letters. This helps make the purpose of the photograph known- that Hollywood is not always what you think it may be and that the view of the average person is also backwards.
5. The emphasis gradually shifts from the backwards Hollywood sign to the rubble and chaos behind the letters. This has been done by the straight shot of the camera contradicting the gradual slope of the land.
6. The photo works as an eye-opener to the other world of Hollywood. It is a behind the scenes look of Hollywood.
7. This photo gives a sense of sorrow and guilt for buying in to what is pictured to be the perfect celebrity world.
8. All of Thomas' pictures are black and white and seem to offer a new outlook on a common idea/place.
