Taylor Bateh enhanced the significant and meaningful messages which are presented in many childhood fairytales by appropriating images from classic stories into her own landscapes. Overall, her project was successful. She got her point across and her photos were well executed. There were a lot of aspects to her images which really enhanced them, such as the old man’s semi-transparency in the image representing The Giving Tree and the green tint that is present in the image depicting green eggs and ham. The image she chose to appropriate of Winnie the Pooh fit the photo well because his stance looks natural, like he and Piglet are supposed to be there. The image of the magic carpet and Aladdin presented her theme well, but it could have been more interesting. There is not as much intrigue in the generic treeline-plus-sky as there would have been if she had taken a photo of a different landscape. For example, a city skyline would be more interesting than the trees. The symbolic reflection in the Bambi image is really nice, and if she had printed the reflection on transparent paper, it would have made the image’s meaning even stronger. The photo of the green eggs and ham would have been stronger if she had shot it at a more level and symmetric angle. Taylor created a strong project, symbolically and technically.
