Week 5- Composition and Aesthetics in Photography

There were many sites I did my research on for photography composition and aesthetics. They all had a lot of different ways to put all of the same information, however, there was this one person Alex Yu that caught my eye. The information that he talked about was very helpful in learning things I did not know about photography and the way certain philosophers viewed it as. It's interesting how he put that and I quote him " a picture that is an amusement for one person may be art to another" I loved that. It reminded me about the times when I would go to an art museum and see something I personally liked that other people would think looked funny or weird and didn't see the beauty in the creation.

To read what I have read by Alex Yu go to - http://www.creative-wisdom.com/photography/photo_essay/aesthetics.html
"you might have to copy and paste the link for some reason my comp wouldn't let me post it correctly"
You guys should really read this article. I really liked what he had to say and I think you will too.

The meaning behind the word Aesthetics-
The branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of art and with judgments concerning beauty.(as stated on dictionary.com)
