Landscape: Activity 2: Blog

Find two landscape photographs that question social values or act as a metaphor for personal issues that the photographer is trying to express. Discuss whether the communication is clear or ambiguous and how this communication is conveyed.

This first image shows a packed city, presumably New York. It shows crowded streets, tall buildings, and bright lights. There is no nature seen, just noise and pollution. The photographer is trying to show that we have lost our natural sides



This second building shows melting glaciers and white mountains, presumably in Antarctica. It shows that most of the ice has melted, and there is little land left. The photographer is trying to get the viewers to think about the effects of global warming and greenhouse gases. It shows that we are abusing the earth, and that we should put a stop to pollution.
