Steve McCurry is a very talented photographer. His photos were very vivid and the details were jumping off the page. The emotion that was poured into his photos is quite evident. http://www.stevemccurry.com/main.php
Our school has set up an art gallery, which incorporates the work of our digital photography students. The pictures are amazing, and it is a very nice addition to our school. Besides it being nice to look at, we are selling the photos for $2 each, with all proceeds going to help Haiti! Everyone is working really hard to promote the gallery and raise money for a good cause. Our school has been working so hard to fundraise and we encourage all schools to set up programs like this, every little bit counts!
Well friday is my birthday and last year for my birthday i went to the museum of movinq images because i found it interesting and wanted ot go back again. but this yeari dont know what to do for my birthday but i neeed an idea quick bcuz its friday
As I was looking through famous photographer work I found a few photographers whose work is really striking to me. One photographer whose work I found very striking was Ansel Adams. My theme is very similar to this photographers work and the type of photos that this photographer takes are the types of photos that I would like to be taking. Another photographers work who I found very striking was Michael Kenna's. His photographs are also somewhat similar to my theme. More than that though, his photos are very striking because they are so sharp and the lighting is really amazing. Both of these photographers only have black and white photos which is another reason why I find them very striking.
This is one of the beautiful pictures of Michael Kenna. His pictures are very simple yet very extravagant once you begin to look more closely at the images, you are invited to a new state or mind in which you can appreciate the pictures more.

I really like Michael Kenna's work. He travels all around the world, taking black and white pictures. Looking at his photos makes me also want to take more black and white photos. Here is a picture taken in New york City:
Richard Misrach is a contemporary landscape photograpgher who's work is amazing, and captures the full color perspective and mood of what he is shooting. His color is very soft and easy on the eye, and creates a very graceful overall sensation in his work. Check out his site.
This photo is done by Henri Cartier - Bresson. The first glance of the image is pretty plain, being black and white and a standard picture of something aligned and nothing to special. But giving it a second glance, you notice the man walking on the water near the bottom, realizing that the "thought to be bushes" are trees and then you realize how the picture is a lot bigger and wider than thought to be in the first place. Also, the fact that the ground is water that reflects it gives it a sureal effect that makes you think twice about the photo.
Today I discovered Steve McCurry. I really enjoy his New York, water, and fire album. This gives me ideas on what pictures I could take in the future. http://www.stevemccurry.com/main.php
Ken Rockwell is an amazing photograpgher who I recently reccomended to be added to the list. He mainly shoots landscapes, extremely beautiful landscapes which capture amazing color. He also has many guides which are extremely helpful and down-to-earth. Check out his site.
One of his many gorgeous pictures in La Jolla, with a film 4x5 (Fuji 100)

Ansel Adams' work is remarkable. He is able to capture the most intimate detail and a wide range of detail, his work is very thought provoking. His Yosemite collection is beautiful and I suggest you take a look.

This image really catches my eye. This image was taken by Garry Winogrand, his style is very unique most of his pictures are of people doing things naturally around the city, he also has a lot of photos with people at zoos interacting with animals.
I am looking at Michael Kenna's work. I think that his work is beautiful becuase he goes all over the world taking pictures in black and white. He takes pictures of everything from trees to buildings. Some of his work is stunning and just captures the eye. By the picture being in black and white you pay attention more to the details and the compostion of the picture.
Henri Cartier - Bresson is one amazing guy. The fact that he didn't take photography as a job or even a hobbie is extremely fascinating to me. He took pictures as part of his daily overall living, and all of the factors in making a great photo came natural and obvious to him. This is the way I feel art should be, you shouldn't be taking photos a specific way because people say it looks better that way, you should know and feel that the photo looks better that way and eventually you naturally do it that way.

Right now i am looking at the well known Michael Kenna. His work really stands out to me. He goes to different countries and brings back great great photos. I like that his photographs are in black and white. This really opened my eyes to black and white photos. i want to try it
I have been looking at a few photographers that I hadn't heard of before. One I found was Eugene Atget, I liked his images because he wasn't trying to take the perfect stunning image but he was trying to show a more natural side to what would be an ordinary image otherwise. He also takes pictures in a way that you would be able to see the first time you looked at something. He insires me to look for thing like that when taking future images.
Right now, I am looking at photography from well known artists to see what they have done and how it can inspire my work. One photographer whose work I found interesting was Gary Winogrand. (http://www.masters-of-photography.com/W/winogrand/winogrand.html). He takes a lot of his pictures in New York City, which is also my theme. I thought that his work was interesting because even though we have the same setting the pictures are completely different. I like how he uses people in a lot of his work because it gives his photos a lot more feeling. I would like to try this in my photography.

Recently with my digital photography class we went through many links of photographers and searched for work that was striking to us in any way. Although all of the work I saw was extraordinary, it took a long time to find one that really inspired me. After quite some time I found two photographs I really loved. One was a shot by Jerry Uelsmann, and the other was by Edward Stiechen. They're both very different images- one being of a bunch of trees floating as if they're being uprooted into the sky, and was a city shot of just a building through the park but what I loved about it was that it was shot in this sort of old fashioned style, with this darker haze that was very inspiring to me. It made me think back to the different types of lighting that can be used when taking shots, and it inspired me to try something new with lighting the next pictures I take. I think it's a message to everyone who is looking to be inspired that it's not something that just happens in a minute, it take's a little bit of time and searching, but there is always other photographers out there that you can learn from.
Of all the photographers i have been sorting through, Steve McCurry has stood out the most. Although he takes pictures of global scenery and portraits like other photographers, his pictures are very striking. He captures an entire person in one image. The geometry and lines of his photos are really interesting.
Right now in class we are looking at famous photographers. We are looking for which photographers strike us, or relate to our topic. Most of these photgraphers are old, so most of the pictures are in black and white. One of the photographers that strikes me is Alfred Stieglitz. He took a picture form his window of buildings during the 1930s of when they were building sky scrapers. This picture is in black and white and it really struck me because the edges of the buildings are so hard, and that even back then there were a lot of buildings. This picture is so sharp it almost looks like a sketch.
Looking for Alaska by John Green is my new book. Finally, something that entertains me without being poorly written as a youth novel such as Twilight.
People often say that the protagonist, Miles, is like Holden Caulfield. No. Maybe, I am in the denial because I dislike Catcher in the Rye. Miles is not condescending and does not live his life hating "phonies," he is just a smart teenager.
