Robert Brenon Digital Photo Evening Tina Modotti Mexico, 1920s Close-ups, patterns (i.e. repetition), and some still lifes Staircase, Mexico - 1925 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/modotti/modotti_staircase.jpg I really like the angular nature of the photograph. (The photo is composed of almost entirely right angles) I also like how the light seems to accent the angles within the photo. Frederick Sommer Southwest, 1940s Abstract, recurring theme of death/desolation Arizona Landscape, 1943 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/sommer/sommer_arizona_landscape_1943.jpg Very plain and uneventful. I enjoy simplicity in photographs but this photo seems to lack any emotion or focus. The details of the photo blend together and ultimately I feel the entire image is lost as a result.
Shawn Christensen Digital Photo Evening Bernice Abbott 1930's in Manhattan Mainly Architectural Pictures of New York City Stone and Willam Streets c.1935-39 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/abbott/abbott_stone_and_william_full.html The buildings are shown with lots of light and dark contrast between them. The upward angle makes it as though the viewer was there looking up at the buildings. Willam Eggleston Memphis, Tennesse in the 1970's
No Title (Freezer Photo) http://www.masters-of-photography.com/E/eggleston/eggleston_freezer_full.html Mostly the content of the image is just doesnt make any sense to me, and the lighting isnt the best.
Maggie Ferlito Digital Photo Evening Man Ray 1890-1976 Modernist(Dada, Surrealist, avant-garde photography) Any of his Rayographies http://www.chinaphotography.com/photographer/man_ray/man_ray_17.jpg I enjoy the reverse/negative effects of his "rayographies". The objects/subjects become abstracted and ambiguous. Robert Adams 1937-1974? New Topographics untitled 1970-74 http://blog.art21.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/art21-pr-adams-04.jpg This is really hard. I have never found any photographers that i really didnt like/enjoy. I can usually find something in everything that is asthetically apealing, but for some reason Robert Adams content bores me. But upon reading more about him i realized that he captured most of the images knowing that were bwould be precieved this way. "has, without actually lying, discovered in these dumb and artless agglomerations of boring buildings the suggestion of redeeming virtue." -John Szarkowski
Brandon Fromm Digital Photo Evening John Gutmann United States, California and NYC 1930's and 1940's Images of current culture, from a foreigner's view. Cord in Harlem-- 1936 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/gutmann/gutmann_cord.jpg I like the angle that this shot was taken from. It seems that the person taking the picture is lower than the car and people, possibly commenting on social standing of those who are wealthy enough to afford the fancy car? Emmet Gowin USA--- 1960's "Backyard Gothics"--- B&W Portraits of family Edith & Ruth-- 1966 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/gowin/gowin_edith_ruth.jpg I could not really find any images that I disliked, but there were some that I was not neccisarily fond of. This is one of them. The main reason is that I don't understand the purpose of it. I don't know what the photographer is trying to show with this image.
Brian Green Digital Photo Evening I did not like any



To be honest there were not any that really interested me. I did not see any differences in the photos. If I knew more about the quality of photos i could make a decision.





Linze Lucas Digital Photo Evening Ninagawa Mika Japan today Mika does a lot of different things. She i think started out as a fashion photographer but she takes a lot of vibrant pictures of goldfish and flowers. She does a lot of different styles though. She doesnt really have titles on her work...but i like the two goldfish that are kissing a lot. Kawaii desu<3! http://ninamika.com/en/photographs/goldfish.html The colors the organge and blue contrast each other so much and then like to see the fish so up close and personal like you could count their scales if you really wanted to. I dont know its like you see goldfish...and here you REALLY see gold fish.


And theyre kissing. ~_^
I dont know what else to say but it really makes me smile this picture.		 I'll go with Robert Adams America mid 20th century til today It says he started a movement called new topographics, so i guess hes like landscapes. Untitled, Denver 1970-74 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/adamsr/adamsr_newworld1_full.html When i was just browsing through his stuff i dont know none of drew me in really. But then as i looked at the picture trying to figure out why i didnt like i would notice things about it and say okay thats kind of cool. so really i guess i do like him. its just i guess initially he doesnt draw me in. I looked up some of his other works on google though and he had some other cool stuff.
Linze Lucas Digital Photo Evening Imogen Cunningham America 1901-1970s She did portraits and landscapes but in later life became a botanical Photographer Stapelia 1928 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/C/cunningham/cunningham_stapelia_full.html I like the pattern of the flower and the how the shaddows fall and the stems as well...its interesting. I feel like a lot of her photographs look almost like paintings<3





Jennifer McCarthy Digital Photo Evening Modotti 1920s and Mexico nature Roses 1925 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/modotti/modotti_roses.jpg It stood out to me because it wasn't clear what it was. You could see a lot of things in it. For instance, in one of the rose petals in the upper right hand corner, I saw a person laying down. While it was something simple that you see often, you can see a lot more in it. Frederick Sommer 1930s-1940s in Italy and US gross, disturbing Coyotes 1945 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/sommer/sommer_coyotes.jpg I find the images of dead animals to be really disturbing. I don't see art in this, I just see death.
Shawn merlin Digital Photo Evening william eggleston Harvard in 1973 and 1974 dye-transfer printing Memphis 1969-70 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/E/eggleston/eggleston_woman_on_curb_full.html i really enjoy the color and style of clothing. the point of view from where she is sitting is very interesting to look at. The look on her face, and how she is composed, almost as she looked up right before the photo was taken. Last but not least i like how the street winds into the backround. robert adams english professor. 1970 changed to photography American nature photographer Untitled, Denver 1970-74 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/adamsr/adamsr_newworld1.html i dont like this image because the "construction" sight is very boring to look at.
kevin oakley Digital Photo Evening Ansel Adams lived from 1902-1984 photographed the american west landscape Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico 1941 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/adams/adams_moonrise.jpg I just think it is amazing the way he captured every little detail of the landscape the moon and the clouds at night. Its like the perfect combination of use of every function of the camera all at once. Everything in the picture is perfectly in focus. Very serene photo. Frederick Sommer lived from 105-1999 woked all over the US Many different types

Very odd style of photography or his taste was anyways. I didnt really like any of his work.
Ross Orbell Digital Photo Evening Ansel Adams early to mid 1900's, west coast landscapes "Moonrise" 1941 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/adams/adams_moonrise.jpg dark sky, with the contrasting moon, and contrasting buildings on the bottom of the picture. Robert Doisneau mid 1900's france everyday scenery "Accordionist" 1951 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/doisneau/doisneau_accordionist.jpg "oh look......a guy playing the accordion.....GREAT!!"
Elizabeth Ori Digital Photo Evening William Eggleston 1973-1974 He taught at Harvard Beautiful. I love the close up done of the side of the horse. It just is a very peaceful photo, but I feel a sense of sadness because the horse almost looks like he's looking down; being sad. Arkansas, 1992 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/eggleston/eggleston_horse.jpg I love horses; they are my favorite animal. I looked through a lot of different photos, and why I chose this one was because I liked the color, and because I love animals. I like it because I just feel like its a beautiful picture and that you can feel a bunch of different emotions when you look at it. Emmet Gowin Danville, Virginia 1970 This style was creepy. The woman almost seems like she is a ghost or something. Edith 1970 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/gowin/gowin_curtains.jpg A lot of his work gives me a little eerie feeling. This photograph the most, because the woman looks like she possibly could be a ghost. The lighting makes her look like a dark figure, and with the curtains blowing, and that's the only real light that is coming in; it just doesn't make me feel happy or interested at all. I feel like this photograph could be out of some horror film from back in the day.
Kayleigh Storms Digital Photo Evening Ansel Adams Yosemite Valley/ 1940's Landscapes Mono Lake, California 1948 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/adams/adams_mono_lake_full.html I love the way that Ansel Adams reflected the clouds into the water buy incorporating them into the landscape itself. Stephen Shore United States/ 1970's urban landscapes Sutter Street and Crestline Road, Fort Worth, Texas June 3, 1976 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/shore/shore_fort_worth_full.html I think that the photo looks like he was walking down the street and liked the car in the picture so he took a photograph. I don't feel anything from the majority of his photos.
Lauren Vale Digital Photo Evening sally mann American photographer, Lexington Virginia 1970's portraits, she portrayed a child's innocence Candy Cigarette 1989 http://www.artnet.com/artwork/425915161/141091/sally-mann-candy-cigarette.html This photograph not only grabs the viewers attention, it keeps it there until they can interpret what they think is going on. I love the contrast in this picture and how it flows throughout it, the dark out of focus background only puts more focus on the young girl with the cigarette. The figure in the background which seems to be on stilts makes the viewer maybe even question if he is hanging in the air, which puts a different feel or angle to this photograph. Minor White American Photographer, Minneapolis, Minnesota 1940-1976 His work was usually considered mundane Peeled Paint 1959 http://farm1.static.flickr.com/6/5396923_fc5377bbf1_o.jpg I don't not like this photograph. I think Minor White is a fantastic photographer but some of the elements in his photographs are very plain and simple, like for example this photograph of paint peeling off of a wall. Even though he may have taken simplistic photographs of paint peeling off walls or barns, I think it takes a powerful photograph to grasp the attention of the viewer when taking such simple photos. Minor White grabbed that attention in many of his admiring fans with his simple views on life.
Tim Butler Photo One ART 102 Morning No one N/A I'm very picky about what I like and my preferences have a wide range. Generally I like pictures that are very out of the ordinary. Something someone wouldn't normally see or something that isn't normally noticed. I didn't really find one. N/A N/A Many N/A I don't really care for landscapes or portraits. A good picture can be made of people but there has to something distinctively different about them. N/A N/A N/A
Scott Charette Photo One ART 102 Morning Gordon Parks United States and Europe, 1955-1998 Individual and Group portraits Muhammad Ali in Training, Miami, Florida 1966 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/parks/parks_ali.jpg I like how the photo tells a story of Ali training and focusing for a fight. I like how it shows emotion and focus with a simple expression. Karl Blossfeldt 1900-1930 Abstract Plant Photography Phyllitis scolopendrium Hart's tongue Young curled fronds magnified six times http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/blossfeldt/blossfeldt_harts.jpg The photo is just borring to me. I just prefer photos that have a more human quality to them.
jeffrey felix Photo One ART 102 Morning Irving Penn new york 1947 aristocratic concept of fashion photography. still life, portraits Salad Ingredients http://www.masters-of-photography.com/P/penn/penn_salad_full.html The picture show the ingredient needed to make a simple salad. I really like it because I like the way he capture the color the simpleness clean cut capture. It looks somewhat classic but modern. Emmet Gowin danville virginia 1972 documentary Rennie Booher http://www.masters-of-photography.com/G/gowin/gowin_rennie_full.html Do not really like it, it seems dark and creepy it a dead person. the look like it will just bring bad, or sad memories.
Christina Keim Photo One ART 102 Morning Karl Blossfeldt 1865 ΓÇô 1932 German photographer, sculptor, and teacher. graphic plant life Nigella damascena http://www.masters-of-photography.com/B/blossfeldt/blossfeldt_nigella_full.html Very highly graphic picture of a piece of a plant, it almost looks metal which I find fascinating. I really like most of his pictures for much the same reason. the shapes are very defined. nothing gets in the way of the subject matter. they are very highly stylized. Robert Adams United States, out west - after 1970 to present landscapish Untitled, Denver 1970-74 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/adamsr/adamsr_newworld2_full.html No focus, very gray, dull nothing even pops it is like looking at someones boring family pictures
Chelsea Kelder Photo One ART 102 Morning Jerry Uelsmann Worked in the United States in the mid 1900s. Landscape, created photographs by combining multiple negatives. Untitled 1969 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/U/uelsmann/uelsmann_floating_trees_full.html This image is absolutely beautiful. It is an image that was printed from multiple negatives which is a unique form of photography. The tree is portrayed in two ways which I feel is an important aspect to the photo. One is blooming and full of life. the other appears dead and is upside down. This photo is mystical and when I first viewed the image I thought of the Tree of Life. A tree that represents creationism. I love how the mountains and water are lighter, which allows the tree to stand out. Frederick Sommer Started photographing Arizona landscapes then moved to surrealist images of various objects. Landscape Arizona landscape 1943 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/sommer/sommer_arizona_landscape_1943_full.html This image is of an Arizona landscape. There is nothing in the photograph that captures your eye. It doesn't make you want to continue looking at it nor is there anything that guides your eye throughout the photograph. If a title didn't go along with the photo I would find it difficult to figure out what it was.
Kellie Kubala Photo One ART 102 Morning Walker Evans Evans started in New York New York in 1928 His style is documentary for the most part, of the Great Depression The Breakfast Room, Belle Grove Plantation, http://www.masters-of-photography.com/E/evans/evans_breakfast_room_full.html I like this image a lot because it is an older house, and very elegantly designed. Again, when I think about using 35 mm cameras, I think of older pictures of old things. This picture also is unique in that during the Great Depression, many people lost everything and places were left deserted, this picture shows just that. The Great Depression is the majority of the pictures this artist took. Karl Blossfeldt Worked in Germany, first published picture in 1928 His style is photographing plants and the way they grow. Impatiens glandulifera Indian balsam Stem with branches, life-sized-There isn't a date at the bottom of the picture. http://www.masters-of-photography.com/B/blossfeldt/blossfeldt_balsam_full.html I do not like this image because it is very plain and boring. I like when pictures tell stories or even if they don't, have a possibility of making up a story about it. Photographing plants, not even the flower part of the plant, is very dull.
Anthony Lawton Photo One ART 102 Morning Berenice Abbott New York City 1930's Architectural Studies Tri Boro Barber School 1935-39 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/abbott/abbott_barber_school_full.html I like this image because of the contrast between the dark and light colors. I enjoy how it has bright whites and dark black. The contrast makes the image powerful. The shadows help to add liveliness to the image. Edward Weston
Still Life Shells 1927 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/W/weston/weston_shells_full.html I dislike this image because I find it boring. I'm more into action photos. The image is lifeless and doesn't really have any shadows and not any real contrast.
Courtney Lupton Photo One ART 102 Morning Max Waldman New York City- 1949-1977 Theater and Dance American Ballet Theater Corps Rehearsal, 1980 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/W/waldman/waldman_abt_rehearse_full.html As a dancer, I enjoy seeing other pictures of people showing the art of dance. I particularly liked how this picture captured the "behind the scenes" aspect of dance. Behind the curtain, it is very crowded, dancers are either helping others do their hair, stretching or practicing their routine. Eadweard Muybridge America and Central America- 1867-1894 Capturing motion Head-spring, a Flying Pigeon Interfering, 1885 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/M/muybridge/muybridge_headspring_full.html Although parts of this picture would have looked alright if it was by itself, the picture as a whole was hard to look at because it was broken up into numerous sections. Also, it looks uneven because the top two rows were bigger then the bottom too and he uses the top two rows all for one flip and then the bottom row was used for another. Rather than admiring the picture as a whole, I was forced to look from left to right at tiny sections at a time in order to understand the picture.
Nicole Pisano Photo One ART 102 Morning Lewis Hine 1940 - Ellis Island, NY as well as PA He's a black and white street/people photography Crippled Steelworkers - 1908 - 1909 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/hine/hine_crippled_steelworker.jpg I like this image because it captures a moment in a man's life where he faces reality on his crutches and you can almost see that on his face. You get a good idea of what people went through during this era. Helen Levitt 1987 - Brooklyn, NY. black and white portraits and chalk drawings of street life. New York - 1940 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/screen/levitt/levitt_ny1940.jpg I feel this image is too bright. It almost appears to have too much negative space and makes the main object almost harsh to look at.
Amanda Sidora Photo One ART 102 Morning Jacob Riis New York City, early 20th century photographed the slums of NYC. showed the emotion, pain and suffering of the people. Women's Lodging Room 1892 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/R/riis/riis_womens_lodging.html It shows that nothing is what it seems. women are laying on the floors and you can see the suffering by the way they are sitting. Also, i like that you can see that filth of the living conditions. It is true and real. Julia Margaret Cameron Early days of photography Victorian, soft Mrs. Herbert Duckworth April 1867 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/C/cameron/cameron_mrs_herbert_duckworth.html I don't find portraits that appealing. I like people in motion or showing emotion. I feel with portraits the person can never really convey too many emotions.
Timothy Stapleton Photo One ART 102 Morning Alvin Langdon Coburn United States (NYC) , and Britain. Early 1900s abstract, very unconventional Ezra Pound 1917 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/C/coburn/coburn_pound_full.html I really like how it appears to be double exposed at different distances. I like how it's a portrait, something very normal, but with the kaleidoscope it gives it that bizarre look. William Klein America, Britain, Paris, 1940s and 1950s The Human Condition St. Patrick's Day, Fifth Avenue 1954-55 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/K/klein/klein_st_patricks_full.html I don't not like William Klein's photography, in fact I like his work a lot. It's just this type of picture (this one being a prime example) doesn't seem like art gallery worthy. I like photography that shows me something new, or something in a new way. This is just some people walking down the street.
Nicole Tartaglia Photo One ART 102 Morning Karl Blossfeldt 1890 he started photographing and created a book of his work in 1928. He worked in Germany. microphotographs of plants Laserpitum siler http://www.masters-of-photography.com/B/blossfeldt/blossfeldt_laserwort_full.html I enjoy the magnified approach. In this photo I like how the light hits the fertilizing cluster. By using black and white the light plays a very important aspect of the photo. Andre Kertesz Budapest and America, started at an early age and photographed up until his death photo-essay, he used a lot of symbolism Rue des Ursins 1931 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/K/kertesz/kertesz_rue_des_ursins_full.html I do not like the angle that this photograph was taken. I think that another angle would make it more sense. Also, I think the sidewalk should not end the way it does on the bottom right hand corner. Overall, I am a bit confused with this photo.
Sara Tiberio Photo One ART 102 Morning Robert Doisneau Paris, France. 1930s-1950s documentary, entertaining, portrayel of human condition The Cellist 1957 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/D/doisneau/doisneau_cellist_full.html I love how the cellist is in the mountains, which is a beautiful landscape. I personally find meaning in this photo because I have played the cello for many years, and I find the cello player is not usually featured in such a way as this, as a main focus. I find the photo to be representative of the freedom many people find through playing music. The composition of the photo leaves us wondering: Is the cellist actually up in the mountain? If so how did he get up on the mountain? Hill & Adamson Scotland Mid-1800s Portraits Masons working on a carved Griffin for the Scott Monument 1844 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/H/hill-adamson/hill-a_masons_full.html I found this one to be very drab and overly-crowded. The quality of the photography didn't seem to be very high, although this is understandable since it was taken in the 1800s. It just doesn't seem very interesting or artistic.
Alexis Trupia Photo One ART 102 Morning Alfred Stieglitz American-born, he worked for most of his life in New York. Stieglitz mainly worked from around the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. A great amount of focus on portraits, especially of Georgia O'keeffe, and nature. The Steerage, 1907 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/stieglitz/stieglitz_steerage_full.html I learned about this image in an art history course I took in high school and loved it. What makes me attracted to this photograph is Stieglitz ability to artistically portray the passengers on the ship in their natural form. The passengers are immigrants who were rejected by U.S. immigration officials and are headed back to Europe. The emotion seems to burst out of the picture through the hustle and bustle of the passengers. Manuel Alvarez Bravo He worked mainly in Mexico from the 1920's until his passing in 2002. Surrealist, many shots of inatimate objects. 1940s, Fallen Sheet http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/alvarez_bravo/alvarez_bravo_fallen_sheet_full.html I don't feel as if there is much talent in taking this image. Maybe I am just not seeing some special quality about this photo, but there aren't any elements that attract me to it at all or contribute to Alvarez being an influential artist.
Brittany Zervoulias Photo One ART 102 Morning Berenice Abbot New York-1930's city, people. how people act 1935-1939 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/abbott/abbott_canyon_full.html This image descrobes the beauty of the city. The semetrical lines on the building catch the viewers eye. Woman Redlected in a Mirror US Surrealist, pictures of people, weird 1938 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/L/laughlin/laughlin_reflected.html The Woman Reflected in the Mirror looks emotionless. I do not like how the picture looks broken up.

Sarah Argus Photo One ART 240 Afternoon William Klein Mid 1950s in America variety, he documents humerous portraits Horn & Hardart, Lexington Avenue, 1954-55 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/K/klein/klein_horn_hardart_full.html I enjoyed this photo because he captures the essence of people in their environment. I enjoy this picture a lot because the people that are usually focused on blurry and the background is completely still. It shows that history, such as landmarks are always going to be there in changing time and I think he expresses change a lot in his photographs. He also enjoys making a mockery of peoples emotions in other pictures. I enjoy that this picture makes me think and says a statement. Nadar France, around 1970-1990 portraits The Catacombs 1861-62 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/N/nadar/nadar_catacombs_full.html I don't enjoy this image because it is very dark. I'm more of an inspirational picture person. This image seems to actually mock portraits. All the rest of his pictures are of alive people and this the opposite.
Douglas Casper Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Timothy H. O'Sullivan America, Civil War (1865) Documentary A Harvest of Death, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania http://www.masters-of-photography.com/O/osullivan/osullivan_gettysburg_full.html I like this picture on many levels, (not because I enjoy fields of dead people) but because I like the layout and the way the photo is split up. The horses in the background almost fading away and the deceased soldier in the foreground make really good contrast. That and it's an interesting look at history. Frederick Sommer born in Italy eventually worked in America 1940s ewww is that a... Yep, thats a dead coyote. Coyotes, 1945 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/sommer/sommer_coyotes_full.html I didn't feel the space was used in a very effective way. The dead Coyotes are placed in a very random order and the picture seems flat. Even though this is a picture of something you don't see everyday (unless you work at the dead Coyotes emporium) it's still boring, it seems unplanned and relies heavily on the "oooh Gruesome" Factor. This picture may have been better if it was taken at a different angle, or if the coyotes were arranged differently (i.e dead coyote pyramid)
Nicholas Coughlin Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Joel Meyerowitz 1970's to present, New York and America landscape photography revival Porch, Provincetown 1977 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/meyerowitz/meyerowitz_lightning.jpg I like how he photographs from a normal eye level, so the photos are very realistic. But many of them capture a certain point in time that is not seen in the same way in the photograph as it would be in real life. The lightning bolt, an event which only lasts a second is captured as if it is part of the oceanscape. And I like how he makes connections between architecture and the natural setting that a building is located in. In this photo the house and ocean are combined. Frederick Sommer America 1930's to 1999 landscape and art Untitled 1973 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/sommer/sommer_untitled_1973.jpg The content that Sommer photographs, dead animals, starke landscapes is what I dislike about his work. I don't understand the point of photographing what, in my opinion is not worth photographing. Like in this photograph- just of rocks. I don't get it.
Charles Davis Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Garry Winogrand all over the U.S. formal untitled, 1950s http://www.masters-of-photography.com/W/winogrand/winogrand_flip_full.html I like the way the he captured the man and the angle of the picture. The stillness and the way it was captured intrigued me. Karl Blossfeldt Germany microphotographs balsam http://www.masters-of-photography.com/W/white/white_surf_vertical_full.html I feel as if the work has no contrast to it and there is nothing to intersting about it.
Alicia Flinn Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Gary Winogrand 1950's-1970's and took pictures all over the country Candid shots of people. Worlds Fair New York 1964 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/W/winogrand/winogrand_worlds_fair_full.html I like how its all candid and every one seems to be involved in what they are talking about or looking at and they have no clue that he is taking the photo. Paul Outerbridge 1920's-1990's worked for vogue and in hollywood Nude photos and really abstract objects with bold patterns Triumph of the Egg 1942 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/O/outerbridge/outerbridge_triumph_of_egg_full.html All of his work seems to be chaotic, and doesn't make any sense. A random hodgepodge of objects put together.
Christina Gagliardi Photo One ART 240 Afternoon William Klein New York in the mid 1950s Street photography Horn & Hardart, Lexington Avenue 1954-1955 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/screen/klein/klein_horn_hardart.jpg I like street photographs a lot, especially in busy cities. I like when the people in the photograph don't know they are in that picture. I think that makes them show their real feelings and expressions. I usually like a lot of contrast in photographs, the only part of the picture that has a lot of contrast is at the top, where it says Horn & Hardart. I also like the lights a lot and the door that the lady is going in. Cindy Sherman America in the late 1970s self portraits Untitled Film Still #13 1978 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/screen/sherman/sherman_13.jpg I don't really like portraits or self portraits that much. I looked through all of her photographs and I thought they were good but I didn't really see any significance in them. And again I like contrast a lot and I didn't really see too much in this one. There were other photographs by her that had lots of contrast and were more interesting, but I just didn't find this one be that great or special.
Kelly Kerins Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Ansel Adams 1902-1984, California's Yosemite Valley zone system , landscape Clearing Winter Storm, Yosemite National park, 1942 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/adams/adams_clearing_winter_storm_full.html I like the jagged edges of the mountains and the trees which look so small next to the mountains. The clouds are very dark and interesting. Karl Blossfeldt German 1865-1932 New Objectivity Airstolochia Clematitis Birthwort Stem with leaf magnified eight times +http://www.masters-of-photography.com/B/blossfeldt/blossfeldt_birthwort.html It does not interest me. Its just a random close up of a plan that gives me no feelings.
Ryan McAllister Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Karl Blossfeldt He worked in Germany during the late 19th early 20th century. He photographs objects that create interesting patterns. Larkspur, date not provided http://www.masters-of-photography.com/B/blossfeldt/blossfeldt_larkspur_full.html It creates an interesting pattern that has a wide value range. Robert Adams West Coast, USA late 20th Century Landscapes of building sites Untitled, Denver 1970-1974 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/adamsr/adamsr_newworld1_full.html It seems rather flat and boring. There is a good range of value but nothing that really makes me want to keep looking.
Jason Poland Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Cindy Sherman mid 70s to present mostly in New York conceptual portraits Untitled Film Still #50 1979 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/sherman/sherman_50_full.html The model almost looks like a doll she is so still. Most of her photos were taken in the 70s but they do not depict any of the any of the fashion or themes that I normally think about with the 70s. Its feminist art but also shows women in a beautiful way. John Gutmann New Orleans, 1937 "worm's-eye view" The Game 1937 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/G/gutmann/gutmann_game_full.html I think he could have done a lot more with his photos. The things he takes pictures of are interesting and different. But I cant see what he is trying to get at or trying to portray.
Jessica Tanney Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Max Waldman 1919-1981 - United States, New York black and white images of theatre and dance Phaedra 1979 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/W/waldman/waldman_phaedra.html This photographer was the only photographer I felt I could relate to and understood. The choreographer is Martha Graham. He also took pictures of Mikhail Baryshnikov. Someday I hope that I have the oppurtunity to photograph the dancers and choreographers of my generation. His photography also steers away from the depressings stories of the time. Many



I did not like much of the photography on the website. It was hard for me to relate to, and though it was real, most of it was depressing. I got tired of going through the different photographers pieces and seeing nothing but depressing images and stories. I think I was waiting for something natural yet unique and ineresting to look at to pop up and catch my attention, but it never really happened.
Andrew Woolsey Photo One ART 240 Afternoon Ansel Adams The United States primarily Yosemite Valley 1902-1984 Landscapes Mount Williamson - the Sierra Nevada from Manzanar, California 1954 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/adams/adams_clearing_storm_full.html I like this photograph because the rocks in the front are the same size as the mountains in the background. The landscape is relaxing, and nice to look at. William Klein 1928 on, Klein worked worldwide, but is native to the United States Portraits, Creepy, Blurry St Patrick's Day, 5th Avenue 1954-55 http://www.masters-of-photography.com/K/klein/klein_st_patricks2_full.html I do not like this picture because the woman in front is blurry, and I feel it takes away from the picture. The blurry theme seems common in Klein's photos.
