The Class Perspective

In reading the articles written by Soloway and Guttman, one phrase that has been spread throughout history comes to mind. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.  The underlying means of perspective, is relative to Class and can be subjugated into the separating lines of money. Economically gifted and blessed with the everlasting coin purse, the upper class of society view beauty in the means of the figures on a price tag. Stated in essence by Soloway, perspective on a given occurrence can be changed by the physical elevation, rotation, and overall movement of the camera lens. These changes of perspective can make and break the difference on the object at hand. Like that of the physical possessive world of pricey items. The segregating of class is like that of the camera lens. For however unbiased it may be, the power it holds is relative to acquired assets. As different subjects from geography to natives can be taken in a means to find beauty, a correlation can be made through class and the ambiance it brings. The camera is used like a time machine to capture the beauty of varying objects allowing for no two pictures to be the same, for whether the picture is rough and jagged to smooth and peaceful. The differences can be seemingly interwoven with the varying class of society. From the working class, to the trust fund babies, varying means of beauty are captured in the ways that they live their lives and decorate themselves in clothing and jewelry.
