part 2

Seeing the full image definitely changes my viewpoint on the image. I can clearly see that the image is in fact not photoshopped and is an image of a street artists putting a picture on a building. The building appears to be a little worn down and and already have some graffiti on it. The man is hanging by a rope from the top of the building an is putting his artwork on the building. There is a private property sign and what appears to be law enforcement below him, as he is caught vandalizing the property.  The image is so large as the artists wants people to see it and think about it. He wants to share his art and the meaning behind it with the world. The image is so large it appears to be cut in some sections. The man must have hung it up piece by piece, and he is only hanging on to the building by a rope. The area seems to be a little run down, urban development. He wants the people who live there to see it and interpret its meaning. I think the title 'The Last Girl" is the artists way of letting people know that continuing to live in bad conditions will eventually make the population shrink. The girls expression is sad and almost unemotional.

Cubism questions

Steps -      The photographer first had to choose a place to take his photos. Then he took his photos, and by looking at the image it looks as if he took multiple at different times of the day. Once he had his pictures he had to composite them all into one.        I would say between 50 and 100 pictures were used to make this image. The pictures were not taken at the same time of day as some are darker then others. In some of the squares there is a photoshop enhancement of fuzziness, as if the photographer wants those slightly blurred out. I noticed that the photographer tended to take the pictures from the same angle. All the pictures are pointing the same way as if the camera did not move.  Overall I think that this project was not an easy feat. From the looks of it, it appears to have taken quite a while to have pieced everything together. As well as add the photoshop enhancements and figure out which square fits well.
