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


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. I believe that it did because she knows how to tell someone how to pose or what to do in a natural way. 


What did Mary Ellen Mark mean when she said, "camera companies don't want to know you anymore." That companies don't care who buys their camera they just want the money. 


Describe a photo you saw in the episode that you felt was an exceptional photo. I saw one that really got to me. It was the circus one with the two men that were monkeys. It really got to me because the simplicity of they photo made it it's own photo. Just the fact that you can capture something like that in a moment is just wonderful.

This is my poster. it looks like a bunch of things just put together for no apparent reason. But i will assure you that there is more than meets the eye. This poster identifies the things that define me... That make me for me.

Bleachers s one of my favorite bands and ive seen them twice and meet them once. Yes it was a big thing. Also you might recognize John Lennon's album of imagine. I absolutely love this album because it tells us to think of our deepest thoughts and to become one together.

One of the most amazing things is star wars. Two amazing star wars events are going to happen.... BATTLEFRONT AND THE FORCE AWAKENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for this to drop like drake's mixtape.

This picture makes us all think. This social issue defines domestic abuse. A lot of woman go through domestic abuse and do nothing about it. They think that it's a one time thing, but we see that it's not that there is a lot more to it. The half face in this picture represents how some of the woman hide the bruises and the other half of what really is going on. It really makes me upset that woman have to go through this. Domestic abuse shouldn't be a joke to anyone because almost every woman goes through it and it's just terrible. I chose this picture because it really defines domestic abuse as something that people hide.

No image said more about the relief Americans felt at the end of World War II than this classic image of a sailor sweeping a nurse into his arms for a kiss when hearing the war had ended.

This picture onee of my favorites. It shows evrything anyone ever wanted at that time. Happiness, joy, relief, and love. During the war, everyone wanted those thngs and now that it finally came, what better way to kiss some random nurse. This photo just makes me happy to know that there is always love out there.
Thousands of whites descended on an Indiana park to hang a pair of black men accused of raping a white woman. The image is a shocking reminder of how recently something like this could happen in the U.S.


This horiffic picture really tells us a lot about our country. Yes, some people may argue that it happened a long time ago, but if we put it in perspective, it really isn't that long ago. When i read the paragraph above, i felt sick. Not because they hung the men, but because they didnt even have solid evidence that they did it, they just accused them. The worst part of this picture is the fact that some people are actually happy they died. That just makes me sick.
The final album recorded by The Beatles before their breakup, the cover of Abbey Road featured a shot of the four men crossing the road almost in lock-step, except for Paul McCartney, whose off-balance stride spurred the urban legend that he was dead.
       

                             This photo really does make us think a little. Yes there is a lot of thoughts behind this wonderful picture, but sometimes we over think a lot of things. As Sigmund Freud said once, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." This quote tells us that maybe a picture is just a picture and we're just over thinking all of this. When i see this photo, I just remember all those good times that the Beatles had togehter and how they made a huge impact in this world. This, I believe, is what i think about this amazing photogragh.

This quote means a lot to not nly me but everyone else because we've all lost someone we love. But that doesn't mean we just stop learning from them. We find out more than we knew when they were alive because their friends tell us how they were, loving, kind, and funny. We can only continue to learn about them. That's why i believe this quote means a lot, not just to me but to everyone out there.
