TO TELL WITH A PHOTO


As we have spoken about in class recently, a photo can tell a lot. This can happen in a specific, direct way, when the photo shows more or less exactly what you talk or write about. This is called denotative meaning in English.

The other type is called connotative. This means that the photo suggests something implicitly, indirectly, or that the photo is used as a metaphor.

We can also talk about photos that either elaborate (= å utdype) or extend (= å utvide) the meaning of the words they are used they illustrate.

Your blog task in week 16 is to:
1. Create your own, or find an Internet photo that can be used as an illustration on friendship. Make sure you only use non-copyrighted pictures from the web pages in the Fronter document in the resource folder for Digital StoryTelling. Please note that you should NOT publish personal pictures (or photos of your friends) in this task.

2. Upload your photo to the blog, and write a blog posting with an explanation where you try to analyze in which way your photo illustrates the word friendship. When explaining, try to use the words we have been learning. It would be really great if you could find a symbolic picture!
