Unusual and Interesting Photo's

1. Having a connection to the image your shooting, Showing perspective with your photo's, a decisive moment in not only human act but also in nature, these are all important for photographers. 
2.   The photographer did follow the suggestions but i wouldn't know about all of the suggestions, as far as like does this flower have any meaning to them or not, but I'm sure it does in some way.
3. My style of painting would probably be more the different types of angles and really being able to connect with my "model". I feel like you get better pictures that way.

Unusual and Interesting Photo's 

1. I picked this photo because i really like how it was taken and it's a cool action picture. I feel like the photographer would have to be really fast to take it. I also, love horses and this scene just looks really cool.
2. I found this photo in the "Sports Action" group.
3. This photo won First place.
4. The photographer caught my eye with the way they, Knew exactly what angle to take it at. They also got it on the perfect day because the sun gave everything a glow to it and really brought everything out.
5. It must have weighed pretty heavy to the judges in order to be rated a First place winner.
6. I think the unique thing that he did was have to get on the floor to take this photo and get the camera at the right angle.    

 

Unusual and Interesting Photo's

1. My reaction to his work is that he is very good and unique in how he takes his photos. He gives the impression that there are really two or three of the actual photo.
2. I think the making of these photos had to do with the angles and maybe a special feature or something on the camera.
3. I would say out of the photo's that I've seen so far, the buildings down town would be really good to take in this type of way. I think this, because they have some of the same shapes or style to them and a lot of them are very "old fashion" looking or unique looking and interesting.

Unethical Photo's

A.)

I think these two photo's are the most unethical, because they completely changed the position of the soldier and changed the background positions and the people who were in it before, like on the left side.

                                                                                       B.)

I feel like these photo's are not as bad as the others because, i don't see that much of a difference between them, other then the different type of color shadings and how ones a little bit darker but nothing  else really stands out.

      Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A.) Someone at the newspaper used Adobe photo shop or some type of similar software program to remove female ministers and replace them with males to create an all male cabinet. That is considered cloning over people which is considered terminal offense in most U.S daily newspapers. However, even knowing this and knowing that the worker got fired for doing that, there were still other photographers continuing to do it in order to make there photo better and/or create the image that they want, but some continue to get fired. Overall, taking manipulative photo's is wrong unless you've been given permission by the person your gonna clone over, otherwise you shouldn't do it.

B.) I believe that doing this to a photo is wrong and manipulative but at the same time i do think that if you are given permission to make this kind of editing then you should be able to make them without any problems. However the permission has to be coming from the person that the editing is gonna happen to, in my opinion. Basically it all depends on the photographer and what they want as well as the person modeling for the photo.

2.) I chose this photo because, i love the whole image and how the picture was taken. I also think that it's really cool how the color at the top and bottom were captured. This whole picture just look so surreal to me.


3.) I would take a photo that looked something like this as a picture of our world today:

Touching People

1. At first, i would probably have to say, i think it would be weird and really awkward to go up to people and ask them to touch. However it also might be cool, because you never know what kind of responses your gonna get. So i would totally be in to doing the project. 
2. If someone came up to me with a camera and asked me to participate in a photo project and touch a stranger then... Honestly it would probably take me a while to think about it but i might consider it. The pictures aren't anything bad and so maybe it would be fun. However it does also depend on how the photographer approached me.
3. A photo shoot similar to this one i would honestly have to say would be, this one i saw on tv where these people painted themselves with like different colors and made it look like it was there clothes, actual makeup, cuts, etc. I think that might be a little more awkward to some people even me a little but i also think dealing with the actual paint and making it look real would be so cool. 
4.  Personally i think the photo's were good, but i feel like they would be even better if the people didn't look so uncomfortable. If the people smiled more and were just more relaxed then i think the photo's would look a lot better. Although yes i do think that the photo's still look pretty good. In my opinion just a little plain. maybe that's the objective of the photographer though.

40 Greatest Photo's Taken

 I chose this pictures because it captures the world at a great angle. I think it made the cut because it's not everyday you can get an actual picture of the Earth and at that angel.

I chose this photo because i think it's so sweet how loyal this puppy was to his/her owner. I also think it made the cut because it  is just a sweet picture and maybe the person was "important."

I chose this picture because i really liked the setting and how the little boy respects his dad and what he does. I think it made the cut because again it's really heart touching and what his dad and other members in the picture do is really important to our world.

The Photographer that i have chosen is Brassai (Gyula Hakasz), He was born on September 9, 1899, and died on July 8, 1984. He was born in Brasso', in Hungary, now Romania.... His father is a hungarian and his mother is a Armenian.Gyula Halász studied painting and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest, before joining a cavalry regiment of the Austro-Hungarian army, where he served until the end of the first world war. However in 1920, he went to Berlin, were he worked as a journalist adn studied at the Berlin-Charlottenburg academy of fine arts. 
After moving to paris in 1924 (for the rest of his life), he became a journalist, and eventually became friends with; Henry Miller, Léon-Paul Fargue, and the poet Jacques Prévert.  Brassi' and so much Love and interest for the city that he often roamed it at night just to see the way it looked all light up or filled with new things and people. His roaming at night eventually became photography he started taking. The Hungrian master Andre Kertesz, became to be his tutorer for shooting his photography. His pictures began to go with his writing for example, He later wrote that "Photograhpy later allowed me to seize the paris night and the beauty of the streets, and gradens, in rain and mist. 
 His nickname "Brassai" comes from his home town, meaning "from Brasso". He happened to have great success and since everyone thought his photographs were a great way to capture the essence of the city, He came out with his first book (of photographs) in 1933, it was titled "Paris de nuit" (Paris by night). He also liked to photograph many of his great artist friends, even some of his promonnt writers of his time. 

Since he had been a founding member of  the Rapho Agency, created in Paris by charles Rado in 1933. His photographs brought him international fame leading to a one-man show in the United States at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, the Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois, and at New York City's Museum of Modern Art.
