Here is my artist statement:
We were given two triangles; ABC and EFC. Line AB is parallel to line FE. Angle ACB is congruent to angle FCE because they are vertical angles. Because of alternating interior angles, angle B is congruent to angle F. Triangle ABC is similar to triangle FCE by AA.
I decided not to use props because I feel it would have been a distraction. I wanted the picture to be simple. In the picture I'm doing a thumbs up and I am smiling. The reason my thumbs are up is because I'm having a thumbs up life. I am smiling because im happy with my life right now. I chose to frame from my waist up because I’m pretty short and I would rather it not show my legs and it would be pretty awkward to not show your face and just your body. I also didn't want it to be really small or big so I felt this was a good size. (Pinhole picture is below)
The way I figured out how to calculate the distance was I wrote down what I already knew. I knew that the film was 24 mm in height, and my frame needed to be 2 ft tall. I also knew the focal length was 10mm. I then divided 24 buy 10 because I needed to find the scale factor. The scale factor ended up being 2.4, so I multiplied 2 by 2.4 so they would be to scale. I got 8.3333 and then multiplied it by 12 (to convert it into inches) and got 9.87 and rounded it to 10.
And below is a visual of it.

This was probably my favorite project this year. I really liked this project because I think the fact that we got to make a camera was really cool. I'm not going to lie this project was very stressful but I liked the end product. I think that its cool we got to make a camera, I learned a lot about how they work and how the pictures come out. Now I have my very own camera that I can take cool pictures with.
