JR - Andrew G
Andrew G is from Toronto,Canada. Because he is from Canada, I chose him to be my favourite Inside Out participant. Andrew says "I stand for the expression of voice, of the written word and the emotive body. Let’s find importance in an impermanent world."
JR - Inside Out
a) How does JR’s art make a difference? Site a specific series and specific images. Explain the reason for the images and potential impact that it has on the community.
b) JR's art definitely makes a difference in the world. By taking pictures, blowing them up and putting them in places where your forced to look at them, it makes you think. Why is the picture there? What does it mean? So people start to question themselves and the community as a whole communities perspective starts to change. A specific example of this is the FACE 2 FACE project. He went to a conflicted county that has a community hating each other because they each think that the other doesn't have a right to live here. He posted pictures of different people onto the buildings of the city and asked people which person was of which race, and they couldn't tell him. The fact that they couldn't tell him shows that what being mad at someone for something that's out of they're control is pointless. It changed they're perspective. Get to know someone before you judge them.
The following photo from the FACE 2 FACE project shows 3 people from different countrys, can you tell who is from where?

Prints
- Extreme viewpoints
- Tilted horizons
- Back of heads
- Out of focus
Questions
- I chose this object because most people overlook paper, even though they use it in there daily lives. The disregard it not thinking anything about it. So i wondered what would happen if i gave it a personality.
- How i gave the object character was by putting it in places people normally see it in, but in a picture. In a photo you can study the object and instead of overlooking the object you give it traits. The personality in these 3 photos are lonely,sad or even misused.
Self Evaluation
- I think i got a 1/3. The prints are not as clear as i would like them to be and there are some scratches on them. The contact sheet turned out well but the prints didn't which is why the 3 i chose aren't that good. I think the idea i tried to communicate didn't come out as I'd planned but nonetheless, you can see the general idea.

Definitions
Shutter - Works like an eye, it is the part of the camera that lets light in. When closed, the lens is blocked which means no light can get in, when it's open,lights comes in generating a picture.
Shutter Speed - The amount of time that the shutter on a camera is open for. The less time the more defined of a picture, the longer it's open for gives you a more slurred picture.
1 second - Good for taking pictures or a crowd or of someone running,blurs image a little
30 seconds - Great for nights shots of a city, waterfalls to make the water have a smoother effect.
1000-8000/sec - Will completely freeze the frame. Very crisp lines and defined. When subject is in motion, this speed will make it look like it's entirely stopped.
Shutter Priority - Shutter priority means that it's a setting on a camera that allows someone to choose a specific shutter speed while the camera is adjusting the aperture to ensure correct exposure.
Exposure - Exposure is the total amount of light allowed in a photograph. It is better to have a medium setting exposure so your photograph isn't to light or to dark.
Aperture - Aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels.
ISO/ASA - They are kinds of film speeds.
Bulb - Bulb is a shutter speed setting on a camera that allows for long exposure times under the control of the photographer.
Cable Release - Cable Releases are the mechanisms attached to cameras that let photographers to take photos from a distance. They consist of a wire, extending from the camera, that has a button trigger at the end of it. The photographer holds the button end of the cable and presses to trigger the camera shutter to take a photo.
Tripod - A tool used to hold your camera steady.
Bracketing - Bracketing is the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different or the same camera settings.

Defining Aperature
Aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. The larger the diameter of the aperture, the more light reaches the film/image sensor, and vice versa. The smaller the aperture, the larger the depth of field, and vice versa. The greater the distance between the lens and the subject, the larger the depth of field. The shorter the lens focal length, the larger the depth of field.
