The Project

Aside from intent to give exposure to the participants’ aesthetic abilities, this interactive exhibit intends to explore the meaning-making process, and discrepancies between messages received by viewers contrasted against the message intended by the photographer, as well as the interplay between the meaning connoted or suggested (suggested or inferred meaning) and denotation (literal meaning).

James Messerschmidt #2

Taken by James Messerschmidt | Jamaica, NY
What the photographer saw

A lone individual in Jamaica, NY. My news pictures typically define the event; these do not. Silhouettes, lone figures and individuality dominate the theme that is repeated in all of my art pictures. However, they do not expose who is alone, why they are where they are and what are they doing. That is for you to decide.
