Hindenburg Disaster

I liked the Hindenburg Disaster picture because it shows different emotions. Its tragic in a way that people died in it but its cool because its not something that happens everyday in life.

Summary
As the zeppelin came down in flames, many photographers scrambled to take the picture, but only Sam Shere's captured the true tragedy of the Hindenburg disaster. Shere's picture was widely popular from Life Magazines to being the cover of Led Zeppelin's first album.



I learned that the tragedy lead to the end of zeppelins, and how and why the zeppelin exploded.

Biography

Sam Shere was born on April 15th of 1905 Minsk, Belarus. He dropped out of school when he was in his 7th grade. Sam died on June 8th of 1982 in Florida, US.



PICTURE 2
Lunch atop a skyscraper

I like this picture because it show bravery and symbolism.

Summary
11 men were having a nice lunch 840 feet above Manhattan. The picture taken was taken for a promotional campaign for the massive skyscraper complex. It symbolizes American resilience and ambition at the time when they were desperately needed. It shows New york is full of bravery and the home of hard working citizens.


One thing i learned is that people wear shirts, have mugs, and own magnets that have the picture on them.

PICTURE 3
Pillars of Creation
I like this photo because it shows how interesting space can be and how much we have left to explore ( a lot).

Summary
The Hubble Space Telescope had a lot of obstacles in its path. It took multiple pictures that made us awe and help us make scientific discoveries.

One thing i learned from the text is that the Eagle nebula is 6,500 light-years from Earth.
Photographer : Nasa

 Nasa was created by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in july 29th of 1958.


Picture 4 
I like the Loch Ness Monster photo because we will never know if it was real or not.

Summary
The picture was taken 1934 but it turned out to be a fraud made by Wilson.

One thing that i learned is that it is not real.

Picture 5
I like "north Korea" because it gives us an inside look in to a country full of dictatorship.

Summary
David Guttenfelder was able to go inside the highly forbidden country. And for the first time NK allowed 3g connections to foreigners. He was able to post picture on instagram.

I learned that some people were allowed access into NK 

David was born in Iowa and graduated from University of Iowa

Fashion Photography

1.  First they put on bunch of make up, then they messed with her hair. After that they photoshopped her head and her neck to make her look more attractive.
2. They made her head more attractive with photoshop... They also made her body (neck length, body shape, and leg thickness... etc). They also made her body lighter and got rid of her freckles.
3. They made a fat lady skinny to look more attractive to the general public. The whole body and her hair was changed completely.  

4. I think it is acceptable if you change he lighting a bit but i don't think it is acceptable if you change a person's body or their appearance by a major amount.
5. I don't there is a time where it would be more unacceptable, but they all have a certain point where they're unacceptable.
6. I think just changing the surrounding like list or changing minor detail is ok but changing major things like appearance would be not ok.
7.Photojournalis could be pictures of anything from A to Z. Fashion photography is related to fashion and fashion advertisements. Although Photojournalism could be about fashion, they could be different things too.  
8. I think any type of photography shouldn't have too many difference with reality (differences as in major differences). Although they could be altered a little bit if it acceptable by the general public.
9. I think you showing us the videos to tell us that everything we see isn't reality and may be fake.
10. The videos aren't about guys because girls usually think that if they buy the advertised product (clothing), they'l look like the models but guys usually don't think that.? I do not know

American Soldier

A. I think the most powerful image is the "A HUG FAREWELL", because it shows the reader how his family, his friends, and how he felt when he was being taken away for 14 weeks for basic training.

B. The images work to tel a story by showing us how he changed over the year of his service in the military.

C. The captions enhance the story by giving us a deeper understanding of the pictures and the situations.

D.  Ian Fisher decides to join the military and leave his family behind. Before he leaves, his family threw a farewell party for him. Ian has a hard time adjusting to the military life but quickly adjusts after he gets his first gun. When he was almost finished with the basic training he started to fit in.
