Writing Assignment #1



The photograph that I found that I really liked was this one captured by Toni Frissell.  Normally I like pictures that are in color, however I thought this one was really cool. This image speaks directly to me because of the way this photo is composed. I like how its not busy and how you cant see the girls face. I also like how the woman is sort of floating but sort of treading as well. This makes it seem like it kind of a struggle to keep your head above water but that all you need to do is relax. Another thing that makes this picture interesting is the fact that she is wearing some sort of gown. This captures my eye because if she was wearing like normal swim wear then this picture would be sort of common, but because she is in the water wearing something out of place, it makes one wonder what she is doing and why. I like to believe she is just trying to have a out of body experience.
