Jennifer Wu's pictures show the natural world in a beautiful and elegant way. Her starry sky photos have such mystery and wonder in them and the animals she takes look so natural, carefree and peaceful. Her landscapes are natural and undisturbed in their appearance. All in all her work is very good and enjoyable to look at. Jennifer Wu's images show animals acting natural in the wild along with beautiful landscapes.

Henri Carter-Bresson's work shows people doing what they normally do but in a more artistic way. Like the picture shown with the man eating and someone watching him there is a kind of symmetry to the two. His other photos involve people working and dancing and shows artistic value of everyday life. His work can show some unique characteristic's if a person looks closely enough.

Harry Callahan


 Providence http://www.masters-of-photography.com/C/callahan/callahan_providence_77.html
This picture done by Harry Callahan definitely shows the four corners rule. Also has the right compliments with the houses and they have a fairly good symmetry. the house in the back gives a neutral color between the two compliments and shows a point where one could really focus on the image. The plants and fences don't really seem to do much for the image in my view but what do I know.

Robert Mapplethorpe



Robert Mapplethorpe's pictures give a unique perspective of black and white with the various ways he chooses to light the pictures he takes. Like the lily shown above it is not easy to guess where the light is coming from. Also his human images can leave the mind guessing at times as to what the image shows. Those images can be a little confusing sometimes and as was my case may make you feel akword when you realize what the image really is.

Kevin Connoly



Kevin Connoly is a very interesting person not many people would think to take pictures of others who are staring at them for how they appear. The presentation he gave that day was very interesting as well he talked about his interesting childhood and people their asked him interesting questions. He also had some unusual stories that he had told in the presentation like his first experience with a gun.
I also learned how to flip a dog when it comes running at you.

Sally mann


Sally mann pictures are very interesting to look at the black and white make for interesting images. Her scenery pictures can in some ways look ghostly with there appearance. Also her face pictures can seem a little creepy at first look and strange. The photos she does are very good though perhaps a little strange.

Tony Schanuel

The Stream http://schanuelart.wordpress.com/
The day Schanuel came into the class room was an enjoyable experience I had listened to what he had to say. He gave me a new way to look at the pictures I take and different ways I could interpret them. Also his work is very interesting as well with quite vivid scenes in some and the other pictures he has of what could almost seem like random shots show very interesting details.
