the shadowing on miss Rossellini's face is quite different. it adds great detail to her stance. I believe that lighting is the key to any great photo. it can change it from a mugshot to a work of art. Light brings out our character in many ways the shadows in her eye creases and neck give her a sense of power which she exudes in everything she does, and that is the goal of photography, to accurately depict the dream so that others may see and dream also.

I chose these photos because of the simplicity and dreamlike quality they have. they create beautiful illusions in everyday scenery which is a quality i admire in photos. the use of coloring and detail is very extensive and beautiful and just brings the photo together.

Bubble Gum Hurts The Environment

Bubble gum hurts the environment

Bubble gum, a sticky, chewy, and messy, situation. From animal testing to harmful ingredients and an abundance of waste and litter. Having chewed gum,stepped on gum, had gum stick to my clothes and hair, I chose gum because it is a nuisance to me but i found out so much more hazardous things about it. Artificial sweeteners and BHT are just a few ingredients in gum that are highly toxic for humans and the environment. They are known to cause organ failure and cancer. Gum also contains “Carpenter’s glue” and a mild bleach and whitening system are also in most gum bases and are linked to a formula poisoning leading to many deaths of young children in china (over75).  Gum is stuck under desks and on the ground and on buildings and on monuments, when it rains or becomes extremely warm the gum seeps these harmful chemicals into the ground, the water, and can accumulate in the systems of animals, plants and humans. Many animal extracts such as gelatin are used in the making of gum and also red carmine is added to some gum colorings  which is made of the extract of beetles. I am not telling you not to chew gum but looking at ingredients and where its made. and choosing an organic or not buying sugar- free gum dramatically helps this situation.  I hope this has enlightened you on the sticky mess that is gum.

Cindy Sherman Photography

 

Cindy's style is taking photos of herself and incorpotating her face into other photos she has taken.
I personaly find these photos weird and don't really like them.

Paul Nicklen Photography

Paul Nicklen is well known for his pictures of arctic life and landscape. His work with polar animals shows them in their natural environments. Paul is an activist against global warming and takes the photos to premote awareness of their shrinking habitat.

I like Paul's photos, i think they are realistic and beautiful.

I like the contrast and repetition in these photos. Them. The houses are all similar and yet you can find tiny details and shaped to tell them apart. The backgrounds\landscapes complement each other nicely which makes Idris Kahn's interpretation so beautiful.

I like Edwards work because of his use of color and repetition. He also uses leading lines to draw your attention to certain points in the photo, which complement it nicely.
to help the environment try using reusable bags at grocery stores, it reduces a lot of plastic :)

chuck close pictures

I like Chuck Close's work because of the detail and realizm of it.
 He adds a very human factor to all of his photos, they are imperfect and gritty
 but they show the true sides of people, the raw image.

David Hockney Photos

I love the gradient in this photo and the different lighting situations.

I like the colour in this photo and the detail in the buildings and trees.

amazing photos 2013

I find this photo funny because of how confused the bear looks and just the absurdity of a bear sitting on a tightrope. I like their use of lighting and the angle of the picture.

I like this photo because it makes me feel sad for the dog and yet excited for him that he can still walk and be free. i like the expression on the dog's face, and the background because it makes him look indepenant.
