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.
