I Love Photography
Dave Enlgedow
I always loved the idea of taking pictures
while growing up. I haven’t known any
other way. I like looking back at things and digging through
old photo albums. His daughter, Alice Bee, is really going to get a
kick out of these when she grows up,
everyone will. This guy has got to be one of
the coolest artists ever in my eyes. He’s so
creative. This picture is from his series
called World’s Best Father. You can watch his daughter get older
throughout the photos. I also think it is really cool that he
incorporates his coffee cup into every photograph.
World’s Greatest Dad
Maia FloreSleep Elevation
This is a beautiful picture. It is from a whole collection called
Sleep Elevations. I like everything about this picture. The places Maia sets up are
like dreamlands. The background is so serene.
Everything is oddly calming. It makes me want to fly.
Hiding LimbsKyle Thompson I really like how
delightfully morbid this is. The boat is a
nice touch. This is from a series
by Kyle Thompson
called Hiding Limbs. I was
always inclined to be drawn
more towards the more
morbid things in life.
Ansel Adams
Clearing Winter Storm,Yosemite National Park 1942 or earlier
I love photography because you don’t
need the most high-tech, expensive
camera to take really amazing shots. This sure wasn’t taken
with a Cannon Rebel, but it doesn’t matter because the scene is
absolutely breath taking no matter
what. Landscapes are so cool to me
because you can take a photo of the same thing every
single day and chances are, no two photos will be the
exact same
1930s
Frida Kahlo in Manuel Alvarez Bravo's Studio
Manuel Alvarez BravoI love when artists come
together and make things. In my opinion, Frida Kahlo was an
amazing artist and an inspirational person. Manuel
captures a part of her that other photographer’s don’t. If you
didn’t know her story you would think she was just an average woman. She doesn’t look like
she is in pain or anything. This picture has little details that I
really enjoy, like the little stone face. I also like how you can
make out the other side of the room through the shiny ball.
Everything about this photograph is interesting.
1945
Taking PoisonMargaret Bourke-White
“Dr. Kurt Lisso, Leipzig's city treasurer,and his wife and
daughter after taking poison to avoid surrender to U.S. troops,
Leipzig”
As morbid as this photo is, I think it still manages to have a
few graceful aspects. The bodies are not
mangled or deformed, simply slumped over in a chair. Everything is neatly arranged,
except for that single piece of paper on the floor. It is also very
strange to me that the windows are open. It
makes you wonder just exactly they were
doing right before they died. Casual
conversations about the weather maybe?
1908-09Lewis Hine
Handicapped - Crippled Steelworker Different pictures
convey different things. When I see this I immediately think of Battleship Potempkin and the man with no legs. It
is about how everyone should be treated equal. You
can’t exactly tell how the man is feeling and I think that is what makes the
picture so amazing. Even though it is of something most of us would consider a hardship, the man doesn’t look like he
is struggling.
This photograph makes me think
of something from Alice in
Wonderland. It is so simple, but it still managed
to catch my eye.

Chicken
What makes a decapitated chicken head so interesting to look at? Is it the raised skin on the stub of its neck or is it the way its beak is slightly ajar?
Its eyes are closed and it would appear as if it were sleeping. The still intact
organs are a nice touch, so are the minuscule drops of
blood. Who would ever think of photographing something
as disturbing as this? Frederick Sommer would.
Arno Rafael MinkkinenPictures give you a whole
new perspective on things. Everything about
this picture is so amazing. It reminds me
of something Escher would do. You don’t
necessarily need Photoshop to put illusions
into photos. You also don’t need color to make
pictures interesting. I really like this photo.
