The 49 States: Photography exhibit at the MET in NYC

The 49 States

Matthew Jensen

2008-9

I like this image because its all the states of the United States(except one) and it shows one of the roads in each state. I find it cool how they are all roads and it shows the nice sun and the trees. Matthew used photoshop by adjusting the images and making the color different. Some of the images are brighter than others. He adjust the color and contrast. Matthew is trying to achieve the difference of each state. He's showing people how every state is different from each other by appearance.

For this project, we had to take 2 pieces of our own work, and put them together to make an image. For the first one, i took a picture of a horse and the beach, and i put them together so that the horse was walking along the beach. For the second one, i took a picture of me kicking the air and a picture that i edited to make it look like there were 2 moons, and i put them together so it looks like im in a field and kicking the grass with 2 moons behind me. I liked this project because i felt more like i was doing my own thing and not just taking stuff off the internet.
