Randy Scott Slavin
I choose this photo because it's kind of like looking through a drop of water. It manipulates the view of the building it's like being small and looking up. he joins hundreds of photographs together to create distorted views of familiar American cityscapes.

Simona Panzironi

I choose her because he work seamed simple yet still beautiful in it's own way. It's elegant and subtle.

She captures basic structure and captures the essence and genuine beauty of it.

Rut Blees Luxemburg

She take's night photos and granite photos of architecture.

I choose her because it gives off a vibe of danger and creepy it's kind of exhilarating and has a tough feeling to it.

~ I liked Platons photographs more.
Where does Dylan McDermott go to take the best photos and why is it so fantastic to photograph? 

~In Africa, There's something to always capture

Platon says he does not think of himself as a photographer anymore. What does he say he is?

~A storyteller, telling his story through pictures.

Both Platon and Dylan McDermott talk about today's society and how it have been "robbed" by technology. What has technology taken from us according to Platon? Do you agree with the statements they make about communication today? Why or why not?

Describe a photo you saw in the episode that you felt was an exceptional photo.

~The man holding his guitar without knowing what actually was happening they see it as something inspiring and it's kind of funny.

The article talked about shutter speeds and the best way to take the photos for the type of action photo you'd like to take. Personally I like the blur phptos esspecially at night. I have an IPhone but I'd like to have a good cera one day and slow down the shutter speed and have good quality pictures. The sharp photos aren't bad just not original

Lowy, his photo's are intimidating sand beautiful in a dark mysterious way.

 The street light and the man, it was a random moment and a great capture and the colour evoke a certain feeling

Which photographer's work do you personally prefer? Helena Christensen or Mary Ellen Mark?
~Helena

Do you think Helena Christensen's experience as a model in front of the camera had something to do with her success behind the camera? Explain.
~Yes, she said so, but also being a model gave her the chance to travel and experience the other side of the camera.

What did Mary Ellen Mark mean when she said, "camera companies don't want to know you anymore."
~They just care for the photo not the photographer because so many people can do it now.

Describe a photo you saw in the episode that you felt was an exceptional photo.
~The veiled woman blowing a bubble gave me the vibe of her edginess and sass kind of like a rebellious feeling.

1.) Do you agree with Kevin Bacon’s statement about how musicians are better photography subjects than actors?  Why?

yes, it's more to connect with it gives more emotion to it than most photos. Most people are ignorant tot photography but when they see someone they recognize they can appreciate it better.

2.)Which photographer’s work did you enjoy more?  Bob Gruen or Kevin Bacon?  Why?  What stands out to you?

Gruen's. Seem's as he has more experience and he plays around with different styles and just knows more about what he's doing to his photographs than Bacon.

3.)Describe a photo you saw in the episode that you felt was an exceptional photo. 

I really enjoyed the strobed photo I felt like that was orginal and at first I thought it was edited like that but then he explained how it was just a second of exposures worth.

4.)Why do you think Bob Gruen photographed the Clash and Green Day in the same location? 

His Clash photo had a lot of publicity but also it is a good scene for a picture in N.Y. not only that but to me it seem's a little patriotic and the city pictures make a band seem more rock, they correlate.
 5.)Did you enjoy the episode?  Would you be interested in watching another episode in class? 
Yes, we should make it a Friday thing and when we run out of ep. find another show that involves photography/ documentary on the arts.

This represents me because well my background is my love for the arts along with the paintbrush, of course Star Wars too!! I'm a big fan and Dr. Who has become a new obsession so the Tardis with Darth Vader had to ascend from it. Coffee is basically my fuel for living along with that is my love for food boy do I love food.Camping and The northern woods of WI is my place of peace which is where I fish and the Eiffel Tower and the Brandenburg Gate represents travel which is a goal of mine.

Shadows

 Niki's multiple picture photo was done very nicely. The lighting was the same in them all and you cant't see anything distorted. The photo seems to have a very deep and touching meaning. 

 Add's picture is very complimenting to her eyes and hair. The colours of light to dark contrast very well and her quote was very inspiring and had a relatable to me and probably many other people.

 Add's flower was for our colour project. Her photos were simple and I like it, I appreciate the clear image. Her colours were very vibrant and beautiful.

My social issue is self expression being restricted and how society sees it as a norm to just hide away your feelings and change yourself, mask who you are. People feel ashamed to show themselves to others and caged by rules and judgement to the general public. We should have to put on a face or a show to be accepted. the brutilitity of the human race is disgusting.

The story behind this picture is that the man in the front line of the tanks in China and is seen as significant due to this "rebel's" non-violent act against the Chines government. My opinion on this photograph is hat this man in the photo deserves a lot of credit for his courage and bravery to stand up and in a peaceful way against something that needed to have attention called to it. This photo gives others a better understanding of the significant of bravery and struggles worldwide and that not every situation needs a violent act to pursue it. The photo conveys respect and sympathy.

This photo is of a baby fetus shown for the first time. This showed the public for the first time how baby fetuses grew. In my opinion I love it I'm a science nerd and it intrigues me along with babies I really love babies. They display the importance of pro life. This photo has a very clear and focal vision. This evokes a feeling of compassion.

This photo is of a sailor kissing a burse after hearing the great news that the war has ended. To the public this was a display and symbol of celebration of the end of the war. It resembles American pride in my opinion and has a very hopeful feel to it. This photo has the two kissing as the center of attention and in uniforms displays their patriotism more so. This photo creates a pride and hopeful feeling.
