This creative dissertation is a personal narrative about looking at photographs. It begins with an all-night walk in Paris.

520 $a This creative dissertation is a personal narrative about looking at photographs. It begins with an all-night walk in Paris. Our Parisian promenade is the first photograph in this work and the idea of visiting various localities serves as a framing device. This dissertation explores photographic transactions involving self, other, and identity. Five individual works based on photographs are presented in the body of this dissertation:
520 $a 1) Photography as an Encounter with One's "Other" and an Engagement with the World presents twelve of my works, as inspired by six iconic photographs, in an exploration of my creative process as a photographer. 2) The Rhetoric, Metaphor, Visual Argument and Discourse of Alfred Eisenstaedt's V J Day Kiss in Times Square, 14 August 1945 and Robert Doisneau 's The Kiss in Front of City Hall, 1950 is an analysis of two iconic photographs from a methodological and photographic standpoint. 3) Analysis of Reflections in the Carousel of Desire from a Lacanian Perspective deconstructs one of my photographs as an entry point to the philosophy of Jacques Lacan. 4) Tokyo Tropes in Nebulas and Neighborhoods: Five Locations from Eternity to Home in Tokyo is a flash nonfiction photo essay. 5) Ambiguous Images of Japan is a photography exhibition that gathered viewer responses to questions about a number of my photographs.
520 $a Contextualizing discussion follows each of the above items. We travel the following route: from the science of visual recognition that highlights the human qualities of sight to the visual culture of daily life and on to social commentators of photography; from working with analysis of a single photograph to personal stories of working photographers; from cultural anthropology to tourist photography as performance; and finally to the revisiting, replicating, and reframing of a straightforward research study---showing photographs and asking people to explain them.
520 $a As a creative dissertation, this work aims to be visually entertaining to casual browsers, practically useful to photographers desiring to deepen their practice and appreciation of their art and craft, and theoretically engaging to scholarly research academics.
520 $a As we would note during a stroll around Paris, each district has its particular cachet and yet they cohere to form a whole. We enjoy distinct variations and also bring our own expectations to each experience. We have assorted hopes about what we may gain, for example, from spending time in the cafe scene of the Latin Quarter or with the cultural treasures in the Louvre. In a similar way, people interpret photographs in different ways and for different reasons; on this basis, photographic transactions involving self, other, and identity are as much about embracing diversity as they are about examining the roles photographs play in individual lives.
