Connecting Essay 2
These 2 photographs below are very similar to each other but also different to each other at the same time.
The first photograph is of a phone box from a side angle. The photograph is in colour yet because of the object, a phone box, there is not a lot of colour in the photograph. Within the surroundings of the phone box, there are some notices or adverts mounted to the wall but they are scratched over which shows that they are either old or that they have been damaged. In addition to the idea of age, the phone holder is a more rustier colour than the rest of the metal phone box. There is also paint which has fallen off from the black box below the phone which again is evidence of age. The phone is on top of the phone box which is evidence of someone having used it. To the right of the photo there is elements of reflection in the glass, you can see the reflection of the adverts or notices from the wall.
The second photograph is of a phone box from a straight on view but the photo does not show the whole phone box but only a part of it. Within this photograph there is no colour which slightly adds to the mood of the photograph making it feel dull. As the phone box is viewed from straight on and is more or less centred in the photograph, you can see the location of where it is in the background to some extent. The photograph being in black and white helps to highlight the scratches that the phone box has from being used a lot. There is evidence that someone has used the phone as the phone is left sitting on top of the box but we do not know how long ago that it was used as it could be a sign that the location is abandoned.

Both of these photographs above look at a public phone box and they both show that it has been used. Although they look at the same object and then show form to some extent by the shadows, they are very different to each other. They look at the phone box from different angles and because of this there are some more differences created as a result. Because of the phone box being centred in the second photo you can see more of the location within the background but in the first photograph there is no location shown within it. The angle in the first photograph means that there is a reflection within the photograph where as there is no element of reflection in the second. One of the photographs is in black and white whilst the other is in colour; the one in black and white helps to make the scratches within the metal more obvious whilst the coloured one makes the damaged paint and rust more obvious.
