Internet Images

This image is showing how finger and hand prints are produced. In this photo, we can see the 'evidence' of a hand print that has been formed using ink or powder. I like this image a lot because we can see the creases and lines of the person's hand in the print. I also like this image because it relates to the real evidence that i created for my definition post.

This photo is of a part of a road, where tire tracks have formed from a vehicle. The tracks have been made because the tires were wet, and left the trail on the dry road. There is also a tape measure on one side of the tracks, measuring the length of it. This could mean that these tracks relate and/or are evidence to a crime scene.

This is another tire track image. However, in this photo we can presume the tracks have been made by a tractor as they have been printed on to a muddy field. I like that this photo is in black and white as it emphasises the ridges and dents of the tire tracks. I also like that the tracks start at the foreground of the image, and then finish in the background, which makes our eyes follow the tracks from the bottom to the top of the image. 

This photo has been edited so that the saturation is very minimal. This makes the photo look eerie and mysterious, as we can only slightly see the colour in the traffic cones and grass, but it is not obvious. This makes people stare at the image for a lot longer than usual, meaning that they notice the little details, such as how many cones there are, and the black box/bin next to them. 

As this photo is in black and white, it creates a dangerous and unsafe atmosphere, which is what i like about it. In this image we can see a chair standing alone, in a shed of some sort, with barely anything else. This signifies the evidence of human presence, as somebody obviously had to put the chair there, in order for it to be there. 

This photograph is slightly more personal than the ones before, as it is of a bedroom. We can see that there is a bed and duvet, as well as a light switch cord. Apart from this, there is barely anything else in the image except the rough wall that looks like it has been scratched at as there is parts of the paint missing. This image also represents human presence as the bed as clearly been slept in. 

Continuing with the human presence theme, this photo shows that people have smoked, and left there cigarette buts on a public ashtray/bin. I like that this image is in black and white because it makes the white cigarettes stand out against the grey background. I also like how we can slightly see the ash in between the cigarettes. 

This photo also displays human presence as we can see cars, houses, buildings, the road and some material that is at the edge of the road. I like the angle of this image because the material that was left on the side of the road is the closest to the camera, so we look at that first, and then our eyes wander to the background of the image where we see the cars and rest of the street.

Although this photo could be displaying evidence of movement or human presence, I actually chose it because if we look closely, we can see that the people are ducking and covering their faces etc. This is because in the photo, it was raining. I like the subtlety of this as you wouldn't know that's what the photo was showing unless you looks extremely closely and related to the 'evidence' of the people's actions.

This is another footprint photo, however this time the footprint was made in sand. I like that this photo is in black and white because it gives the footprints a shadow and makes the tone of them darker than anything else in the image. I also like that this sort of footprint is natural, as everyone can make a footprint in sand. So, even though i've previously related footprints with criminals and crime scenes, it could also be seen as just a natural, normal thing in somebody's day/life.

This is another crime scene photo. I chose this image because of the numbered yellow signs, signifying the placement of evidence. This relates to an idea I had about placing similar signs to indicate evidence, in a normal, everyday life setting like a bedroom or living room. This would be comical as it would make a normal room of a house look like a crime scene, when really, the signs would only be pointing out evidence of somebody living there.

I like the perspective of this image as only the middleground is in focus. Which creates depth, as the yellow stripes as well as the road itself look as though they are getting narrower towards the background of the image. But it also focuses on the main subject, which is the broken glass in the road. I also like that the background is extremely blurry so we cannot see beyond the road. 

This photo is so simple, yet so effective. I like the idea of using ordinary objects to express human presence. In this image we can see that somebody, most likely a woman, has been drinking from this cup of tea, as there is a lipstick stain on the edge. I like the black background as it emphasizes the white cup and makes it seem brighter.  

I chose this photo because it is evidence of secretive behaviour, as well as safety. This is because somebody ought to have put the lock on the door, and therefore could either be hiding something or simply, keeping something safe. I also like the evidence of rust and weathering in this image, as we can clearly see that the door and even the padlock itself are old and rustic. 

This photo is evidence of somebody getting ready, women, and human presence. I like that we can slightly see the sparkle of possibly jewellery in the background, as well as powder on the surface, to show that the products have been used. Another thing that i like about this image is that it doesn't look organised, instead it looks natural and realistic. 

This is another photo which could be evidence of human presence as there is a Ferris wheel. However, I look at this photo as though it is evidence of desertion, as there is clearly no one around and the Ferris wheel looks like its in the middle of no where. 

This image is representing the evidence of mental health, illness and disorders. Obviously, mental health, good or bad, cannot be seen in realistic terms. However, the creativity of this image suggests otherwise. In this image we can see somebody crouching into a ball, hiding from the drawing of a dark monster, which practically describes what some mental illness' can feel like. This also shows evidence of emotion, feelings and thoughts. I like this image because it's raising awareness for something that people disregard on a daily basis. 

This is another mental illness photograph, and this one is showing the effects of social anxiety. I like this photo as we can see movement from the blurred images of the same person, but also the effect this has on the one image of the person that it standing still. It emphasizes her feelings and shows how trapped somebody could feel.

Again, this photo is showing the effects and actions of mental illnesses. However, this photo could also be interpreted as expressing thoughts, feelings and emotions as it could show anger and frustration. 

This photo is displaying the evidence of weather. In this instance, it's rain. This photo was taken of a window, so we can see the rain drops and streams falling onto the window. I also like that we can see through the window, but it is blurred so we can still focus on the rain, but there is a pop of colour in the background. 

This is another weather image, instead this photo is showing evidence of sunshine. I like this image a lot because the tree is shown as a silhouette because the sun is behind it. I also like that there is one single point between the branches that we can see where the sun is shining through. This is also evidence of natural light. 

This is a photo displaying the evidence of artificial light. We can see that the light is coming from the edge of the Ferris wheel, but it is also reflected in the river before it, which adds extra colour to the photo as the light is pink. Therefore, this photo also shows the evidence of reflection. 

This photograph is representing the physical evidence of ageing. I like this style a lot, as a new face is formed by two different photos taken at completely different times. One side, is showing the man as an adult, and the other is showing him as a little boy. I also like that we can evidently see the torn edge of the photo. 

This is another photo created in the same style. Except this one is of a woman, her left side is when she is old, and the right is a picture of when she was young. It is evident in this image that the elderly side of the photo, was purposefully re-creating the young image, as we can see that the woman has posed the same way and worn a similar outfit. 

This photo is representing the evidence of age. However, i like this style and idea because it shows that even though the lady is old physically, her heart and soul is still young - as shows by her jumping, youthful shadow. 

This is a personal possession photo, as we can see a watch, ring (possibly a wedding ring) and a key. These items could be essential to the person they belong too for every day life. I also like that the watch face is completely in focus, whereas everything else is slightly blurred. This makes us look at the time it was captured on. 

This photo has been taken of many ancient photos which have been taken throughout somebody's life, or given to them by their family. I like the old, faded look of these images as they look authentic. I also like that they haven't been organised neatly, instead they've been placed randomly like a collage.

This is a multiple imagery of personal places and possessions. I like this image a lot because it shows different aspects of a persons life in each photo, but as they've all been put together, they practically present most of the person's every day life. 

This photo is the evidence of existence and identification. In this photo we can see personal possessions which belong to somebody, and obviously mean something to them. I like how the objects in this image are completely random, and i also like how organised they have been placed. 

This photo has obviously been taken in a very busy place, as we can see an immense amount of litter that's been placed on a ledge. Although the litter itself isn't exactly attractive to look at, i like this image because it represents true civilisation and human presence, and what people are like in busy streets, towns and cities.
