For all the categories of Chapter 4, it ultimately starts with the eye of the photographer. Through the iris of the eye to the iris of the lens, let time be captured whether it be for science, beauty, etheral, the list could go on.

Descriptive:

Cityscape of Seattle. 9/15/22. Photographer: Self.

Descriptive in the sense that it is merely capturing the architecture of Seattle & sail boat of Puget Sound on a sunny day.

Explanatory:

BTS shoot of Hero’s Pose. Circa 2012. Photographer: Self.

Explanatory, because I was capturing time of stills and placement of actors & lighting for continuity purposes.

Interpretive:

Captured at Fairholme Campground in Olympic National Park. 9/16/2022. Photographer: Self.

My daughter pondering the view and thoughts upon waking up. What is she thinking about?

Ethically Evaluative:

Naomi Boutz, Owner of Vine & Olive in CDA, ID, finishing cleaning table for next guest. June 2022. Photographer: Self.

This woman can run a business, educate you on fine wine, dress like a fashionista, & still get down & dirty bussing tables & doing dishes to make sure the ship is running smoothly.

Aesthetically Evaluative:

Roosevelt Beach, WA. 9/16/2022. Photgrapher: Self.

The beauty of a Pelican & the ocean.

Theoretical:

Love wins! 8/20/2022. Photographer: Self.

The image is about love & the magic of capturing the generally unseen if the couple was in focus. Do you see it?
