Pepón Osorio was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, in 1955. He currently lives in Philadelphia.

Osorio’s pieces are influenced by his experience as a social worker in The Bronx, usually evolve from an interaction with the neighborhoods and people among which he is working. He quotes…“My principal commitment as an artist is to return art to the community,”. She that is what he tries to do.

This picture to me is expressing his heart and the love in it for art. Not just this piece but other pieces by him express something symbolic about him and other artist. I think that this is something dedicated to other artists to because you have to put your heart and all into everything you do as a artist! Thats all I can really say in about this reflection piece!

Egg chillin together in the fridge with other eggs…HAPPY

Eggs dropped and cracked open seperated from its family…SAD

In case of a fire i would take My Junk Drawer. It has many  things that i wouldn’t want to lose in a fire. It has cards from close family members, report cards, metals, awards, and a lot of extra junk that mean a lot to me. Another thing that I’d take would be my cell phone. My cell phone believe it or not is very important, it has been there for me when I was lost in the middle of know where. It would be just cruel to leave it in the fire.

Lastly I would bring my family. I cant live without them. They are there when I need them so I’d bring them with me. My parents brung me in this world so I’d help them stay here too. 

Angles…You can change the angle of the camera to give it a up close and crooked look that add a very nice looking effect to the picture.

Background…Where the object is sitting also changes the mood in a way. If its outside in the sun it could be hot or something in the freezer we would expect to be cold. Not only that but putting it around certain and different things also changes the mood. 

Lighting…This is what I think is the most important. The lighting brings out more color and even takes away from the color of the photo and object to make it look like something completely different and change the mood. 

Those were some of my ways to adding MOOD to a photo! 

Edward Tufte stated to avoid heavy grids, Avoid over busy grids, excess ticks, redundant representation of simple data, boxes, shadows, pointers, legends. Mainly concentrate on the date and not really the data containers. So overall maximize data-ink and minimize non-data ink.
