Title/Date	Beggar Man/1950
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/P/parks/parks_beggar_full.html
Why-Like	This picture captures the beggar man in action as well as everything around him. His fingers are busy playing his music while a woman that is carrying several objects is about to place money into his box although he is unaware. This photo caught my eye because the woman is the only one that seems to be acknoweledging the beggar while everyone else walk by.

Why Don't like	The photo is is being presented has no real context at all. This picture is clearly candid and is trying to document something. Everything is out of place, and nothing is artist about it at all. Its like giving a child the camera and he/she taking a picture of a hole in the ground. There is no context at all to this picture. There clearly is a story and a reason behind it, but its not exciting, or have any emotion what so ever.

Why-Like	The couple kissing in the center of the photograph makes it very dramatic. Oppositely around them, everyone else is going about their day like nothing is going on. In this photograph, Doisneau is taking the ordinary and making it extraodinary.

Title/Date	The Long Walk, 1860.
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/fenton/fenton_long_walk.jpg
Why-Like	I like how this piece is composed with a typical center vanishing point, but with an added twist that the road turns to the right. The white of the path works well to lead your eye from the sky throughout the piece while also complementing the salt and pepper look of the leaves. The dense shadows underneath the trees really makes everything else pop.

Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/eggleston/eggleston_shoes_under_bed.jpg
Why Don't like	While pictures of the everyday can be intriguing in showcasing what we can turn into art, this piece just seems sloppy. The light source is boring and doesn't bring forth the potential of the shadows, but drives them away from the viewer. I think if this had a bigger reason, even done in a series it would hold more substance.

Style	Architectural
Title/Date	Paris By Night 1933
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/brassai/brassai_obelisk.jpg
Why-Like	This image is very well cropped and I enjoy how the photographer placed the fountain towards the left side of the picture with the bright monument in the back (a good use of depth) to bring out the rest of the picture. The fountain is surprisingly not the most distracting element in the piece, but rather the movement of the water that is captured as it flies from the fountain across the piece. Despite being black and white, it still gives a very good sense of emotion and feeling -perhaps to emulate an architectural scene or depiction.
Photographer I don't like	Karl Blossfeldt
Where/When	Germany 1900-30
Style	Observational
Title/Date	Hart's Tongue 1900-30
Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/blossfeldt/blossfeldt_harts.jpg
Why Don't like	Even though it seems as though Karl Blossfeldt used a great deal of observational approaches in his pieces, it does not seem to really draw me in. In many of his photographs, he centers an image and only one subject with a blank background. We can understand that he is taking a close-up shot at his picture because he is trying to observe its shape and characteristics. To me however, it seems very dull and boring, and the objects are leaves of a particular plant. Maybe I like photographs that give you more scenery and perhaps something to think about but Blossfeldt's piece doesn't give me that.
General Comments	Very interesting approaches by these photographers. Each with their own style and ideas. I hope to have a certain style that I will appreciate and utilize in my work.

Title/Date	Arizona Landscape - 1943
Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/sommer/sommer_arizona_landscape_1943_full.html
Why Don't like	This picture really inspires and draws nothing from me. It is difficult to see detail in the black and white and it just looks like a pattern. Many of his landscape works are lost on me because of the uniformity. Also, the surrealist photos simply strike me as bizarre.
General Comments	Very cool looking through the Masters site -- I found several Photographers whose work I enjoyed, such as Lewis Hine and Walker Evans.

Title/Date	Clearing Winter Storm - 1942 or earlier.
Image Link	http://masters-of-photography.com/A/adams/adams_clearing_winter_storm_full.html
Why-Like	The sheer stunning example of nature in action speaks for itself. The majesty contained in this photograph makes me think of Shelley's Mont Blanc.  "Driven like a homeless cloud from steep to steep - That vanishes among the viewless gales!' - Far, far above, piercing the infinite sky, Mont Blanc appears--still, snowy, and serene" If you look at this photo, and the many others like this Adams has done, and don't feel something powerful - you are probably dead inside.

Title/Date	Untitled - 1943
Link- Don't like	http://masters-of-photography.com/S/sommer/sommer_untitled_1943_full.html
Why Don't like	I don't like this picture because it really doesn't need to exist. There doesn't need to be a titile because nothing about this picture of scrub brush says anything. There doesn't seem to be any style, or inspiration, or message. Nothing to hang your hat on, so to speak. Most of his pictures are similiar - nothing behind them. What makes him a master of photography?

Title/Date	Maiden-hair fern

Why-Like	I like his work because it gives us a totally different perspective on things when we view them close up and in pieces rather than as a whole. Sometimes artist zoom so far into an object you can't actually tell what it is which makes it interesting. A lot of Blossfelt's photos are very decorative pieces. Most of them when I looked on Google were of nature related objects.

Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/alvarez_bravo/alvarez_bravo_fire_workers.html
Why-Like	I find this image amusing because it seems like a kind of spur of the moment type photo, of some strange characters. the fireproofing technology on these suited men makes them look like lost alien creatures on the street. but of course you know they are just some folks who work in High Temperature environments, it looks as if they actually trying to explain why they are dressed the way they are.

Why Don't like	I don't like this picture because it does not offer anything visually interesting to look at. Perhaps if this was in color to capture the colorful flora and geology of the Arizona desert. but as it is right now it is a splotchy grey blob. many of this artists photos portray macros of certain textures, which I feel would also benefit from the enrichment of color.
General Comments	I really like Manuels work, his pictures of mexico city give me the desire to see it myself. also his picture "Assassinated" kind of has a tragic grace to it.

The composition of her photos are always just right and the angle she uses allows you to feel as if you were there. This photo is more than just a picture, it tells a story, it touches you, and it makes you wonder.

Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/gowin/gowin_edith_ruth.jpg
Why-Like	I have always enjoyed narrative portraiture in photography and a lot of his work seems to be focused on just that. The portraits of his family are especially appealing because he creates an unbiased experience that makes me feel like I'm not alone in viewing them as strangers because that's how the photographer established it. I also find them appealing because of the realism, and how it's a portrait but it still feels like these people are at home.

Why Don't like	I am not a fan of his subject and to me that is a large part of the art I enjoy. His unsettling placement of the surf vertically although successful in it's ability to create a striking picture only serves to displease me. I find no context or desire for a greater reasoning the picture and can find no reason for his artistic choices rather then "for the sake of it". And while I don't condemn such things I am also not enlightened by them.

Title/Date	Arizona Landscape, 1943
Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/sommer/sommer_arizona_landscape_1943.jpg
Why Don't like	His landscapes are very busy, and difficult to make anything out in. Also he has some pretty gross/disturbing images with dead animals that I did not enjoy.

Title/Date	Chauffeur 1933
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/R/rodchenko/rodchenko_chauffeur_full.html
Why-Like	I like the idea to take this photo from this interesting angle. In this photo, I also like that his pipe is both in the mirror and photo in right side. There are many other photos which are taken from interesting angles. It's new for me and I like it.

Why Don't like	When I looked at this photo, I felt very scary. I do think it is artistic, but I don't like scary ones. Like this picture, I don't like this kind of haunting photos in general.

Title/Date	Ragpicker (1899-1900)
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/atget/atget_ragpicker.jpg
Why-Like	I like the angle he approaches his work, it's very much like how I like to take my own pictures. His work includes people as well as buildings and everyday things you might look pass.
Photographer I don't like	Karl Blossfeldt
Where/When	Germany (1890s)
Style	organic shaped of manmade things
Title/Date	Impatiens glandulifera
Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/blossfeldt/blossfeldt_balsam.jpg
Why Don't like	Very flat and seems kind of boring to me. His work improves as he finds more organic things to photograph, but doesn't have a very wide range of photos.

Title/Date	Bread Line during the Louisville flood, Kentucky/1937
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/B/bourke-white/b-w_living_full.html
Why-Like	The reason why I like this picture is that it has such strong social message. It is very ironic that people are waiting in a long line for bread, while they are standing in front of a billboard a high standard of living.
Photographer I don't like	Edward Steichen
Where/When	In forest/1898
Style	Outside shots in shade
Title/Date	Woods Interior/1898
Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/steichen/steichen_woods_interior_full.html
Why Don't like	The reason why I do not like it is that the picture seems boring and dreary, because there are only trees and snow; It is too normal and nothing interesting for me. Also, I feel I can take such kind of pictures by myself. Hence, I chose this one.
General Comments	I noticed that I like the pictures which have some moving and meanings. Also, I observed that I do not like the pictures which looks sad, scaring, and no-moving.

Where/When	Danville, Virginia/1970
Style	landscapes
Title/Date	Willie Cooper
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/G/gowin/gowin_car_full.html
Why-Like	The reason why I like this photo is that there is a frame in it. I can see the landscape only from the window of the car, so I can imagine the landscape where I cannot see. In addition, I also like the balance of blackness and light. There is a lot of deep blackness, so I looked to the outside the window immediately after viewing this photo. Many of his photos have frames, so I think I peek through a hole or something. It makes me excited.

Style	Cityscapes, posed and candid portraits
Title/Date	Balconies - 1925
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/rodchenko/rodchenko_balconies.jpg
Why-Like	It is such a simple subject, yet the angle of the photograph and the lighting he chose make it seem almost surreal. I think the low angle perspective and the negative space created by the clear sky establish a strong self-humbling emotion in this photograph.
Photographer I don't like	Frederick Sommer
Where/When	1931-1999, United States, Arizona
Style	Surrealism, landscapes, dead things
Title/Date	Arizona Landscape - 1945
Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/sommer/sommer_arizona_landscape_1945.jpg
Why Don't like	I can appreciate what Sommer is trying to do in this photograph (and his others), and can definitely see the surrealist elements, but it just seems lacking in most cases. This image in particular has no real interesting subject and the landscape is boring so there isn't much room for composition. I think a different angle or distance could improve this photograph.

Title/Date	Migrant Mother 1936
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/L/lange/lange_migrant_mother.html
Why-Like	She documented a very important part of history. Without her, many images and seeing what it was like back then wouldn't exist. She uses sad figures and posture that makes you feel for the characters and figures in her images. She did a really good job at documenting people and the way they feel/look.

Why-Like	I like this image because the model is posed in a reclining position similar to how the goddess Venus was represented in many paintings. Also the use of a prostitute in a work of art.

Why-Like	Its got a lot going on, but looks neat. I like the car with the door open. At first glance I thought the car had crashed. The boxes in the middle really make it work for me, otherwise I think it would look like a whole in the middle.

Why-Like	Its of a character whos life is unfathomable. the decay look of the picture adds alot to it as this is a different era from which i am mostly ignorant. Its not like the Victorian portraits and addresses the nude body much unlike paintings and the frame of mind in the early 1900'a

Why-Like	I like this photo because Winogrand did a very well job capturing the movement of this man. The perspective and composition is phenomenal. Also, one of my favorite parts is the way he captured the excitement, not only through the guy in focus, but also through the men in the background! You can see the joy through the expressions on their faces.

Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/A/adamsr/adamsr_newworld2.html
Why Don't like	I don't really enjoy how there's not much going on in this picture. I also don't like random thing to the left of the photo. I think it's distracting from the focus of the piece, which I am assuming is supposed to be the bicycler in the mid-ground..
General Comments	This exercise was a nice exploration of old photos, one of which I may not have done or experienced on my own, before taking this class! It opened me up to the history of professional photos and just older photos in general, other than my parents' of course..

Title/Date	Palais-Royale train station
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/B/brassai/brassai_palais_royale_station_full.html
Why-Like	I like Brassai for a number of reasons. Foremost I like him because of the level of contrast and value range his photos demonstrate. When I look at his work I can't help but relate it to the cinematic style of film noir.. the classic hollywood crime/drama. The way he works with deep shadows and pools of light is phenomenal.
Photographer I don't like	Frederick Sommer
Where/When	Late 1930's
Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/sommer/sommer.html
Why Don't like	I don't dislike all of his work. In fact I find it very hard to dislike all the work of any one particular artist, as they all do well in the specific area in which they are photographing. The reason I selected Sommer for my "don't like" is mostly because his images appear washed to me. They are all a dingy tone of gray.. flat. Just not the way that I would photography in black and white. Also I don't particularly find some of his subject matter interesting.

Photographer I Like	Jacob Riis
Where/When	United States, New York, 1849-1914
Style	photo journalism, muckraking journalism, photographed the poor
Title/Date	Mullen's Alley, Cherry Hill 1888
Image Link	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/R/riis/riis_mullens_alley_full.html
Why-Like	I like the image because of both the subject and composition. Reading that Riis was famous for photographing the poor gives this photograph a whole new meaning. The photograph, taken in a back ally, obviously shows the dirty, grungy, poor lifestyle that the people in the photograph live. The composition makes the photograph even more moving because of the great depth of the shot. The people are staggered in the alley, and stand both close and far from the photographer. With the shape and direction of the alley, it gives a feeling that the number of poor people goes on forever, stressing the great number of people that are suffering.
Photographer I don't like	Imogen Cunningham
Where/When	United States, Oregon, NY, west coast 1883-1976
Style	portraits of nudes, industrial, close up abstract work of plant life
Title/Date	Two Callas, 1929
Link- Don't like	http://www.masters-of-photography.com/C/cunningham/cunningham_2callas_full.html
Why Don't like	It's not even that I don't like this specific photograph, it's her works in general. It seems that many of the photographs are something that I see a lot of in the current day. Someone gets a camera, then they seem to migrate towards taking close-ups of flowers. For me, it;s just overdone a lot today. So, while I like the lighting in the photograph, the subject is what I don't like. I'm sure, however, that for her time period her methods were unconventional and original.
General Comments	A nice exercise, I just wish I had time to get to it sooner because I felt like I was rushing. This semester is already a killer.

Why-Like	Its shocking and I am so curious as to how and at what time she took the photograph. I wonder if she was hiding and waited for it to happen or just got there as soon as she could. Its very intense, brutal and sad and it caught my attention.

Why Don't like	His work is boring and so is this. Anyone could have taken this, there's nothing interesting about it.
