Introduction
What I wanted to tell in this anntotated bibloigprahpy was to find and analyze texts that would contribute to my own project. The points I mentioned about seeing in Stan Langmann's book PhotographyAs a Social Research Method, which was my first source in my first paragraph, is a text that reflects the diversity of perspectives in my project. In the article 'WoodAsA Primary Selection Of Material For Furniture Production' by Petar Namichev, my second source, I got ideas about the usage areas of wood, why wood should be chosen as a material in a design, and why I can choose it as a material in my own project. I reviewed my third source, Serdar Pehlivan's article "Photography and art history: the history of art born from photography". This work, It offers an in-depth assessment of the place of photography in the history of art and how photography contributed to the birth of art. These three resources address important issues such as how photography can be used in social research, the social effects of material selection, and the role of photography in art history. The art of seeing, simplicity, ease of transportation, importance of material, upright posture, contribution to design, the right choice of materials, are some keywords that caught my attention and that I can relate to my project in this context.
Langmann, Sten. (2018) PhotographyAs a Social Research Method.Available at:
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-7279-6 (2018)
In this book, the author wanted to describe Photography as a social research method. He explained how people think, how they see the world, and how they reflect this to the art of photography. What we call photography is capturing images using a camera and equipment. It creates a visual environment that allows people to capture and convey moments, stories, emotions and perspectives through the lens of a camera. It can be used to document the world around us, express personal creativity, convey messages, and even serve as a documentation and journalistic tool. The photography process involves using a camera to capture reflected or reflected light.At the same time, this branch of art is in our lives to document the difficulties or happiness that people experience, that is, the memories of emotional moments.As the authors of our book, Sten Langmann and David Pick have prioritized photography in their lives. Sten Langmann graduated from Curtin University, Perth, WAAustralia and became an economist. But he has many books and articles on photography. David Pick, Curtin Business School, Perth, WA,Australia. Likewise, after graduating from economics school, he turned to photography. Exploring the theoretical underpinnings, methodologies, and practical applications of using photography as a social research method, This book covers data collection, It also provides case studies, examples, and insights on how to improve analysis and interpretation. The main question asked to the reader in the "Learning to see" section is "What does a photograph represent?" Does the capacity to represent evolve from the perspective of the person looking from the other side, or whether they always see what they want to see They have tried to explain and question exactly this in this chapter of the book. The author actually meant to say that what we see is more important than how we see the universe of photography and what we see in the real life. Because the photograph on a still silent surface cannot actually speak and can only be interpreted. This gives rise to the right to interpret how strong the photographer's bond with the photograph is.At the same time, the camera and the devices used for the camera have a great importance in taking the photo as desired and interpreting it as desired.Awellreflected photograph in all respects, reflects itself well because each of its devices works with care and harmony. This leads to the transfer of the photo 'as it appears'. That's why we need to learn to see. The author described that as we learn to see, we must also learn to use the devices used. Because the inventions used help to transfer the photograph as seen. Clarity, reality, reflect, silence, transference. These are the words that should make the person think in the "Learning to see" section of the book and that are meaningless from time to time and that have not reached enough readers.As a result, the deep pleasure of projecting the photograph as desired allows one to transcend the realm of illusion, find clarity in the depths of reality, and embrace the transformative power of transmission. This is how we have been told that the art of photography is related to everything.
Namichev, Petar. (2019) 'WoodAsAPrimary Selection Of Material For Furniture
Production', Journal Of Process Management, Vol. 7, No 4, 12. https:// doi:10.5937/jouproman7-231
In this article, the author discusses the structure of wood, its versatility in use. What we call wood is a strong and durable material. It is a material obtained from trees and is found everywhere today. Petar Namichev briefly explained the importance of wood and its place in our lives in this article. Namichev is a Russian-born furniture designer and he has many articles on furniture and material usage. In this article, great importance is given to the importance of material selection, which is one of the most important parts of any design. Since wood is the main material of this article, there are many ideas as to why it might be chosen. Wood is a versatile, natural material that can be used in all areas. Its strength, strength and durability have made the use of wood widespread in a wide variety of fields. The fact that it is renewable provides a very large storey to today's world. The fact that sustainably harvested tree species regenerate and are more environmentally friendly than non-sustainable ones makes wood a more preferred material. In addition, the fact that wood is a very valuable and important natural insulation in terms of insulation increases its preferability for both summer and winter days. It also provides sound insulation. In addition, the fact that wood is a very valuable and important natural insulation in terms of insulation increases its preferability for both summer and winter days. It also provides sound insulation. In addition, the fact that wood is a very valuable and important natural insulation in terms of insulation increases its preferability for both summer and winter days. It also provides sound insulation. The aesthetic and natural beauty of wood and its biological resistance to prevent decay are among the other reasons that make it a preferable material. Under the heading "Advantages and Disadvantages of Wooden Furnutire", we see that wood is used for a long time and is light, which are the most important reasons for preference. Since wood is lightweight and easy to transport from other materials, the following is mentioned in this topic of the article: Wood is quite light compared to its own weight. This is advantageous in the construction and transportation processes. Especially when it comes to large structures or items that need to be transported, using wood is convenient and requires less transportation costs. However, wood material can be quite sturdy when handled correctly. The structure of trees provides a durable and strong material. Timber structures can have high durability when properly designed and built. This is one of the reasons why wood is preferred in buildings, bridges or other structural applications. The combination of lightness and strength of wood also provides advantages for mobile applications or portable products. For example, wooden furniture are practical and sturdy options that are easy to move and place. In conclusion,Although wood material is light, it can provide strength when handled correctly. This offers a practical advantage in transport, construction and mobile applications. In this part, he also highlighted the disadvantages of wooden furniture in a few sentences: Limited wood resources: Some tree species can be found in rare or limited areas, which may affect the cost and accessibility of some wooden furniture. Labor costs: Expert carpenters may be needed to manufacture wooden furniture, which can increase labor costs. But as we can see, its advantages are more than its disadvantages.Aesthetic appeal of wood with its structure and processing, Its usability in various interior arrangements and design styles is also indicated. It is also stated that unlike other materials, wood looks good in almost any condition and can be a part of any design.

Conclusion
If I summarize in my conclusion paragraph, I have seen their connections with each other in certain places in my 3 sources that I have read and analyzed.All of them, in a certain context, showed me aspects of photography that I could handle differently. In Stenn Langman's book, I saw how people see the world and how they reflect this to art. In my own project, this showed me how I see a Low tech tripod, why it makes me think if it is low tech, and what I should see as what rather than how. While talking about the properties of wood in Peter Namichev's article on Wood, I saw how important the choice of material, which is one of the most important aspects of a design, is. In this context, in my project, from its strength, its strength, its durability, I decided to continue with wood because it is light and visually appealing to the eye. In the article written by Serdar Pehlivan, I saw that the history of art and photography comes before us in many fields, that photography has an important role in describing works of art, and that there are countless research articles and a century-long history on this subject. In my own project, I thought that this history of photography would help me learn how the past civilizations connected low-tech and photography, and I would understand them better in a way that I learned their history. I have seen that photography has an important role in describing works of art and that there are countless research articles and a century-long history about it.

The three sources reviewed in this article highlight photography as a powerful tool in social studies, offering readers a connected perspective on how photography makes a valuable contribution to capturing social reality, choosing materials, and understanding developments in art history.
