David Hockney is a great pop artist. He is known for Photomontages. In my G.T. class, I had to create photomontages too. His work is different from mine. Mine is about people, places, or feelings. His are about people, places, and things. Things and feelings are different. His "things" maybe are feelings, but I do it differently. I'd take a picture of a tree while he would take a picture of an airplane. Notice a difference of mood? I'd do happiness while he'd do passage. Those are the ways our photomontages are different.

Images often send messages. Those messages could be either positive or negative. Photos are positive when they display happy thoughts or moods. Photos are negative when they show sad/angry thoughts or moods. People usually display positive images, but some do negative images. David Hockney does both. I only do positive images because I want my audience to think of me as a positive thinker. Others only do negative because they want their audience to think of them as negative thinkers.
I want my image to display an implicit message. My photos are of pillows so I want my photo to
scream relaxation. It also says something about me. It says that i'm the relaxed kind of guy. That's what I want out of my image. To have those
hidden messages. If it doesn't, chances are I didn't do it right. It is bound to be wrong if it doesn't have the wanted meaning. Either that or messages are an opinion thing. I probably don't even know the meaning of meanings. All I want is for it to mean relaxation.
