Telescope Brainstorm / Research

Definition:
An optical instrument designed to make distant objects appear nearer, containing an arrangement of lenses, or of curved mirrors and lenses, by which rays of light are collected and focused and the resulting image magnified.

Examples:
The Hubble Space Telescope (present)
The Spitzer Space Telescope (present)
The James Webb Space Telescope (future)

Brief explanation of how telescopes work:
Telescopes originated when scientists discovered the properties of light to stray from its original path as it passes from one medium to another, also known as refraction. This ability of a lens to redirect light to a desired point is what lies behind the basic telescope invention.

When I first see this image, the image of the man wearing red stands out and as the first thing i notice. The red he is wearing shouts blood and the picture as a whole sends the message of death. There are also many sentences written out around the photograph, all of which have to do with committing a crime, particularly the crime of killing another human being. The image's structure is actually very organized and has the ideas it is trying to convey spread out enough so that the viewer can focus on each one, yet together enough so that there is no negative space that has no meaning in the image. The photographer's point of view is that of an observer who takes the photograph without trying to seem manipulative of the images message since he takes the shoot squared off. The strongest metaphor in the image would have to be the red that shouts death to the viewer.
