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.
To be successful in photography you need to put as much effort as you can into your work. Use up class time to your advantage. Never settle for your first idea, as it is probably the most basic one you have. It might not be a bad idea, but if it's your first thought other people might have thought of it to. Alway's take your time when taking pictures and be patient when working with photoshop, especially the cut out tool. Overall, you need to take your time and think about what you are going to do for a while. But most importantly, you need to have fun with it and be creative. Let your creativity show. This is a piece I did a while ago. I think it is successful, because instead of just taking the pictures and being done with it, I put them together into a collage. It's little things like this that will make your work stand out and show how much thought you put into it.
