DiTonno Revised Proposal


Revised Final Proposal
Abbi DiTonno


                For my final project I photographed my boyfriend before and after his ACL surgery as well as his recovery process. I had already been photographing the beginning of this process when he first injured his knee. I captured right after it happened and some moments of him on the field an hour after the incident. I photographed him the morning of the surgery as well as right before he went into the surgery. I also photographed him after the surgery as well as his recovery process with pictures like him in physical therapy and his reactions to some of the things he has to go through.
                I chose to photograph him and this process because it is something that means a lot to me and him as well as others because this is part of his future, he wants to be able to continue playing college football and hopefully someday go farther with football. I was be able to revisit him the past few weeks to see how his recovery process went and photographed him in these situations. The only thing I wasn’t able to take pictures of was when he discovered he had a blood clot and had to go to the emergency room to get it checked out. 
                 Hopefully other viewers will care and connect to these photos by having some type of other relationship to it, such as maybe also been through other surgeries or recovery or has seen someone go through these types of recoveries. Viewers may also see the side where football can be very dangerous and labor intensive if they don’t already realize that. This is his second surgery this year because of football injuries and they take half a year to somewhat recover from them so maybe the viewers could connect in the simple way that even when watching football and seeing a player go down might mean they need a recovery process that takes months.
                Some challenges I thought I might have like him being grumpy or down certain days and would not want me to photograph, didn’t happen. Another challenge I was afraid of was that the nurses and doctors may not want me photographing in their facility, but they were all very nice and allowed me to photograph I just had to make sure nobody else was in the photo that didn’t want to be. 
                One thing I learned from this project is that it can be pretty hard to recover from surgery and many challenges may come across.

Shuyao Wang's final project proposal

I want to photography the benefits and beauty of things especially the landscapes in the morning. I intend to photograph it because I really enjoy the morning in a day, because of the fresh air, healthy lifestyle, most beautiful views in a day. But I find that many of my friends and even me sometimes prefer to stay up late and get up nearly at noon. Thus, we miss the whole morning and couldn’t have a choice to feel the benefits of morning. I think it is not good and bad for our healthy. And we couldn’t understand  important of morning more and more after we continuing following the wrong track. I hope to use this time to  photography morning and its beauty to convey the feeling of morning in a day give me and show the advantages of morning to remind myself the importance of morning. I think it can also be a strong prove to the people who couldn’t understand the importance of morning its benefits. The factual pictures may be a better choice than verbal words.  I plan ...

Leamy: Final Project Proposal Revisited

Final Proposal              For my final project, I intend on following a similar vein from my style project and photographing homes that have a sense of personality and uniqueness to them, specifically in State College, Philadelphia, Downingtown, and West Chester. I want to photograph this subject because I personally find homes very appealing and I think they have extreme potential to tell a story to a viewer that perhaps would have been unexplored otherwise. Furthermore, I want to address the discrepancies present among different towns and their houses (State College versus living spaces in Philadelphia versus another suburban areas of Downingtown and West Chester). I think that the photos could work well in conversation with one another in sharing more about a town and perhaps the people that may live in that area.              I intend on visiting...

Garrett Curfman revised proposal

Garrett Curfman Final project proposal Photo 202 For my final project I have decided to take photos of city atmospheres. This includes the backsides of building, and items that reflect a “backstage” view of the atmosphere. I chose to do this because I love cities. New York City is my favorite place. Myself alone in the maze of concrete buildings and seeing all the unique aspects of the city get me inspired to create. There is so much personality and stories to be told by the streets and buildings that I pass every day in downtown State college.  I have photographed buildings, streets, alleys, and different items found in the city environment that further reflect where the photos are taken. I met a few challenges when creating this project. One was the weather. It has been a cold few weeks so the amount of time I spent outside was much smaller than I anticipated. Another is locations. I have broadened my horizons and find new places that I haven’t photog...
