Photography And Ethic

Happiness in life
There is a bouncing ball with a happy face underneath my computer monitor in my photograph. I edited the whole photograph by adding the black and white effect except the happy face. The reason that I kept the color of the happy face is that I wanted to emphasize the happiness. As you see the happy face in the photograph, it is hiding in a small corner in my room. It is also small and not easy to find. Just like our life, we might have find life is tough, busy and complicated like the black and while background. 
Sometimes we have negative views in life, getting tired and we want to give it all up.However, happiness is everywhere, just like the happy face in the photograph. Although it might not be as obvious in our life, but it does exist in so many ways and places. Happiness can be simple, having a great breakfast in the morning, taking a nap in the afternoon, watching TV at night. 
There is always more than one way to see things and different ways of thinking can affect our opinions. The happy face is now more visible after the editing process which emphasizes my point of view-happiness is everywhere.
Although we can't change the weather, we can always change our mood.

Different point of view
As we see in the original photograph, there is a girl wearing sun glasses with a sunny and beautiful background. I edited the photograph using photoshop and I added effects on that since I wanted to portray how our minds change by different elements. We see that the background is very beautiful, full of joyfulness with sunshine. The girl in the original photograph sees and thinks the world with positive and happy feelings. However, once the sun glasses are put on, the whole world become negative and sad. Sometimes we see our life in a positive way, but it might not be the reality as most of the people ignore the truth and the potential risks in life. Negative and bad things usually hide behind the peace, for example most of the Canadians have a good living style, living in a good house and having good food every day. But we always forget and ignore the fact that there are many homeless people living on the streets. Sadness is hiding behind the scene and it has always been ignored. We should start learning to observe more from what we see, trying to analysis things in different ways and show more concern to our society.
