| 3. As you keep looking, what else seems important? | What was interesting and important was an image of Georgia O’Keefe and her slice of cheese across to her face. In this image was set in 1960, it stood out the most in my point of view because I like how it was set well in the photograph, for instance, it looks like Georgia was in a car and had a cup of coffee in her other hand as I assume it was in the morning. The background was blurred as Georgia was more focus in the image. |
