Surreal Collage

Henri Cartier-Bresson “My camera is the extension of my eye.” By Theresa Siri

enri Cartier-Bresson, a notable French photographer who specializes in a journalistic style of photography, was great due to the movement he captured within a moment of time. Cartier-Bresson began as a photographer when he traveled to Africa in 1931. Cartier-Bresson’s work includes Puddle, Boy With Wine, and Juvisy. His work demonstrates an emphasis on movement and it stands out due to the movement he captured within a moment of time. Cartier-Bresson’s background shows that his influences were the surrealist

movement, which compelled him to create out of the ordinary pictures that weren’t created at the time. In 1946 when Cartier-Bresson had first traveled to America, a photography entrepreneur who wanted Cartier-Bresson to release his photographs to his exhibit had lunch with him on a terrace. He knew that Henri brought his camera everywhere he went and there was one point of the lunch that Henri stood up from the table, took a picture, and sat back down. The entrepreneur saw it as a perplexing action, but he later realized that there was a famous artist painting a picture near their table.

Henri proves to be a natural photographer because he thinks of his camera as an “extension of his eye”, which means his camera is metaphorically a part of him. Henri’s most well known photo is Puddle because it shows the movement of a man jumping over a huge puddle. The man is almost unidentifiable as a human because Henri’s photography shows so much movement of the subject. Henri’s use of natural light show the darkness in Europe at the time during World War II, leaving a depressing lighting to capture the mourning left in Europe. He did not have the capability of using color in his photos but with the use of black and white, it shows a lot of contrast that creates an extreme tone of sadness within a picture. In my representation of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s I chose to use my friend Jak jumping around to express the movement he creates, but the sharp focus of the sign in the background shows that he’s really the subject. The movement of Cartier-Bresson’s subject is shown in my representation of his artwork through movement of my subject the cat. Using Henri Cartier-Bresson technique of photography was difficult, yet eye-opening to go outside my comfort zone and try a new form of photography that I hadn’t before. Although he took images of common people walking through the streets and seem less posed than my representation, I still strongly believe that his work is represented through my image.

ElliotT Erwitt A Photographer With a Great Sense of Humor

by Esteban Figueroa lliott Erwitt, a notable photographer who specializes in humor, a sensitivity to the human condition, and dogs, remains great due to his ability of capturing images of “decisive moments” in life. He was born in July 26, 1928 in Paris, France and has a daughter named Amelia A. Erwitt. Elliott. Erwitt became interested in photography after moving to Hollywood in 1939 during his teenage years from Milan. Before he decided to study photography at Los Angeles College, Elliott worked in a commercial darkroom at Hollywood High School. He moved to New York to study filmmaking at the New School for Social Research in 1949 and 1950. Erwitt was then

drafted to serve in the war in 1951, where he continued his career in photography while serving in the Army Signal Corps in France and Germany. After he returned to the US, he was mentored by Edward Steichen and Robert Capa in order to help him become a better photo-journalist and commercial photographer. Elliott Erwitt’s works includes “Water Fountains”(1950) , “New York City”(1946), and “Felix, Gladys, and Rover”(1974). His work demonstrates an emphasis on contrast and it stands out due to the irony that can be seen within each photograph of everyday life. This is most notable in his dog photos, where the comparison of dogs to humans gives off a good-humored feel to the viewers. In my represena-

tion of Elliot Erwitt’s work, I chose to focus on and recreate a photo relating more to the human nature and humoristic side of his work. In my photo, I tried to replicate Erwitt’s work of a child of which only the top half of his head is visible as he seems to have set his eyes on something. The background is blurry, so it causes there to be an emphasis on the child. I found it really exciting to work in the spirit of Elliot Erwitt because he is a man who is very skilled at capturing normal moments of life and is able to make them have a deeper meaning. Overall, I believe my work needs to be done in a more natural way rather than be set up like Erwitt’s work in order to capture the essence of the decisive moment.

Ralph Gibson “A visual signature is something that is won only after the most severe inner battles. It is very easy to copy the works of those we admire… I would rather be a mediocre pioneer than an excellent imitator.” –Ralph Gibson

This collection of work portrays Ralph Gibon’s ability to capture the identity of the object through its interaction with the light and dark around it.

by Kindle Van Linge

alph Gibson was born in Los Angeles in 1939. He was forced out of the house at the age of 16 and went into the Navy where he first began his work in photography. In 1960 Gibson was discharged from the Navy and moved to California to further his studies at the San Francisco Art Institute. During this time he worked closely alongside Dorthea Lange and Robert Frank, who helped him evolve his documentary skills. However, in later years, Gibson shifted his focus from photojournalism and documentation to surrealism. Throughout his late photography career, Gibson shot high contrast pictures of mundane items come to life. He would “meld light and time” to capture the life on the screen. Gibson became especially concerned with the integrity of the culture he was shooting. His work was heavily influenced

by European surrealism, which focused on the relationship between the strange and the unexpected, as well as his own Costa Rican rootselements of both which can be seen in his use of the European fashioned pinstriped jacket or the rusticity of the guitar. Gibson’s signature style is marked by the absence of the photographer in the photo; He turned this form of “self-eclipse” into the predominant element characterizing his work. He first pioneered the idea of the absence of the photographer within photography. This, however, was not reflective of his disassociation with humanity, but rather is disassociation with his objects and subsequent interest in their shadows. His focus on the light and dark elements of each object became his focus rather than the object itself. The shadows imposed by the light helped illuminate different aspects of his subject otherwise obsolete to the

eye. In this sense, Gibson was able to create new perspective to each photo he shot. In the years between 1970 and 1975, Gibson came out with three books, The Somnambulist, DejaVu, and Days at Sea, also known as the “trilogy”, which reflect his surreal style. Through these various works, Gibson says he has “created nothing, but” has “been created”, a statement that captures his fascination with his own growth as a photographer. His journey through photography has led him to a point ever closer to “becoming photography”, in essence, his life and work have begun to meld into one. What originally drew me to Ralph Gibson’s photography was his incredible use of light and dark to illuminate certain aspects of an image. The contrast between the light and dark truly allows a level of mystery to permeate the image and shifts the focus from the subject to its shadows. Gibson takes mundane items and creates images that bring the items a certain kind of finesse and poise that heightens them from ordinary to extraordinary. Gibson also does a tremendous job of capturing the identity of the object within his image: although the light and dark elements are the focus of each photo, the integrity of the “muse” is still present within the framework of the image. What others should experience in his photography, is Gibson’s exceptional ability to mold perspective and to capture the essence of an object without straying from the integrity of his vision.

A Photographer With a Great Sense of Humor

Brassai “The Eye of Paris”

By Darya Rostami

yula Halasz was born on September 9th, 1899 in Brasso, Transylvania. He studied to become a painter in Budapest and then continued his training in Berlin. As a child he visited Paris to stay with his father who was living there at the time. After he completed his schooling, he moved to Paris in 1924 where he changed his name to Brassaï, meaning “the man from Brasso”. Once in Paris, he began to work with various medias including; sculpting, painting, and journalism. He befriended Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, and Henry Miller. Brassaï had no interest in photography; He started taking photos because he found them to be a necessity for the work he was doing with Journalism. He was scornful of those who spent their time taking photos for fun until he met a

In my interpretation of Brassaïs work, I chose to photograph a couple where the girl stares lovingly at her partner while he glances away. This emulates his work because he photographed the unseen side of relationships and his side. This photo is my interpretation of what modern day relationships are, one person infactuated with love while the other is very blase about the whole situation. Even though the world might see a different persective of their relationship, this photo catches a glimpse of the true emotion. I found this to work in the spirit of Brassaï because he was all about the untold stories. Overall I believe that my photo requires a better atmopshere to be able to accuratly depict Brassaï and get the true essence of the unseen love.

Erwin Blumenfeld

Harold Edgerton

Defining Fashion Photography

by Amara Trabosh rwin Blumenfeld was born January 26, 1897 in Berlin, Germany, the second of three children. In 1907 he took up photography after receiving a camera as a gift, after this he began to regard himself as a photographer. After finishing his formal education in high school, he started a three-year apprenticeship in a tailor shop in Berlin. During World War I he served in the German army as an ambulance driver and briefly as a bookkeeper. Afterward, he married Lena Citreon and ten years later moved to Paris. His best-known Parisian fashion photography came from around 1939 as his time at Vogue came to a close. At the beginning of World War II, he and his family were placed in concentration camps, but the five of them managed to escape to the United States where Blumenfeld continued his career in photography, securing a studio at Central Park South.

He worked for several magazines, including Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue again. In the 1960’s he began work on his autobiography which was published after he died in Rome in 1969. Erwin Blumenfeld became known as one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century, not only for his fashion photography but his more artistic shots as well. In an attempt a representation of Blumenfeld’s work, I chose to take a picture of my peer, Natalie, lying on the hood of a vintage car in the M-A parking lot. This style emulates some of his fashion photos because of the focus on the person, her clothing and the car. I put the picture in black and white to match some other elments of his style. I found working in his style a bit difficult because of the large differences between present day and the 1940’s and 50’s fashion. In general I believe my work could use a backdrop to look more professional rather than having the other cars from the parking lot in the background.

The man who revolutionized motion photography.

by Katrina Wijaya

arold “Doc” Edgerton, a notable photographer who specialized in high-speed stroboscopic photography, remains great due to his famous works that have inspired generations with a sense of wonder. Edgerton was born April 6th, 1903 in Fremont, Nebraska. He became a photographer due to his uncle, Ralph Edgerton who taught him how to take, develop, and print photographs. One of his main influences was his work at Nebraska Power & Light that inspired him to major in Electrical Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and later the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT. There, he had his first experience with a stroboscope and later was able to invent ultra-high-speed and stop action photography using strobe flashes. Edgerton’s work includes Football Kick, Back Dive, and .30 Bullet Piercing an Apple. His work demonstrates an emphasis on movement and it stands out due to his photography of everyday objects seemingly frozen in motion. Other interesting details of Edgerton’s life include the fact that his work with the electronic flash enabled physicists to analyze fluid dynamics, air currents, and engines in a whole new way. The US army also

hired him to develop a super-powered flash for aerial photography, allowing planes to do nocturnal reconnaissance. Due to his work for the army, they were able to document Axis troop movements during World War Two, so in a way, Edgerton helped the Allies win WWII. However, his contributions do not end there. Edgerton designed cameras capable of photographing atomic explosions seven miles away and others for underwater photography. In fact, the first detailed pictures of the Titanic were taken by a camera designed by him. Edgerton is best known for Stopping Time: The Photographs of Harold Edgerton. One of Edgerton’s pieces is titled Milk Drop Coronet, and it is an example of high-speed stroboscopic photography. In the photo, it appears like motion has been stopped. This piece best represents his body of work because it shows Edgerton’s use of stroboscopes and stop-action photography. The detail captured in this photo could not have been seen by the naked human eyes. Edgerton’s photography allows for people to see motion in a whole new way, inspiring awe. With a simple splash from a drop of milk, the pattern of the impact can be seen. Its crown shape shows the simple beauty and gracefulness

captured in Edgerton’s photography. His work is important because it inspires artists and others to find beauty in simple, common objects. He contributed to the society not only through his artistic inspiration, but through his electronic flash. The various uses for physicists, artists, the military, and photography in general allows for the documentation of events in a way that would have been impossible before. Edgerton’s stop-motion photography has paved the way to detailed action shots, continuing to influence photography after his death on January 4th, 1990, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In my representation of Edgerton’s work, I chose to work with various types of liquid in motion. This emulates his work because Edgerton is best known for seemingly stopping time, as seen in his photograph of a splash of milk in Milk Drop Coronet. In order to take a clear picture of something that happens in less than a second, I used a camera and set it on the shutter priority setting. I also used a tripod and strong natural lighting. My shutter speed was 1/5000 of a second. I found it to be thrilling to work in the spirit of Edgerton because every time I captured the right moment, it was both beautiful and fulfilling. It allowed me to see a simple drop or splash in a whole new way. Overall, I think my work was pretty similar to Edgerton’s, except his used strobe flashes and was able to capture a bullet, something my method would have been too slow and too blurry to accomplish well. With the proper equipment, I believe my work could capture the true essence of motion present in Edgerton’s photography. I feel my work does capture the sense of frozen time and the dramatic nature of liquid that people could not see with the naked eye.

needs more life and different dogs in order to capture the essence of Wegmans style.

“...just imagined you were a camera.”

By:Angela Florez

illiam Wegman, a notable photographer who specializes in dog photographs, paintings, drawings and videos, remains great due to hilarious pictures of his dogs. Wegman began as a photographer when he got his dog Man Ray in Long Beach California. Wegman’s work includes, “Wegman’s World,” “Story Night,” and “Red Toy.” His work demonstrates an emphasis on surrealism, value and minimalism and its stands to out due to equal balance. Photographer William Wegman is best knows for his Polaroid’s. One of Wegmans pieces is titled Fey Ray, and it is a colored Polaroid. This piece best represents his body of works because it shows Wegman’s use of his lighting technique and

the balanced light. Wegmans use of artificial lighting and subtle processing leave a mesmerizing impression on the audience because of the dramatic photos. This work is important because people can relate to the art. He contributed to the society by using a subject to his that some people find humorous and entertaining and happy. In my representation of Wegmans work, I chose to dress up my dog and make the pictures black and white. This style emulates his work because of similarities of the positions and both being black and white. I found it was very difficult to work in the spirit of Wegmans style because my dogs were not cooperating with me like I though they would. Over all, I think my work

Robert Doisneau “The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.” - Robert Doisneau By Amirteymour Moazami

obert Doisneau, a notable photographer who specialized in people photography, usually taking pictures of common people and common situations as he adventured through the streets and suburbs of Paris, was great due to his use of intuition and romance instead of science. He was born on April 14, 1912 in Gentilly, France and died on April 1, 1994 in Montrouge, France. Robert was a

married man and his spouse’s name was Pierette Chaumaison and they had two children named Francine and Annette. He graduated from École Estienne in 1929. Robert Doisneau’s interest in photography began in 1929 and then five years later it was his profession. Doisneau’s work includes his most famous photographs called, Kiss by the Hotel de Ville, Three Secrets of Eternity and Palm Springs. His work demonstrates an emphasis

famous photographer project man named Andre Kertesz who inspired him to take up the media for himself. He would spend his evenings exploring the city of Paris, capturing images of people who came out after the sun set. He took many candid photographs of street cleaners, prostitutes, and ragged street folk. He also focused on deserted city streets and famous monuments after hours, giving the viewers of his photos an inside look into what goes on while they are peacefully sleeping. During the war, the German army occupied Paris and Brassaï was forced to take a break from his photography but Picasso inspired him to continue with the other forms of media he was comfortable with. Once the war was over, Brassaï continued with his photography until he passed away on July 8, 1984. He was then buried in Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris. Although he is no longer alive, Brassïs legacy will live forever.

on value, which stands out due to his use of intuition and romance. Robert Doisneau’s background shows that his influences are usually people, situations and places he’s experienced on his adventures around France, which compelled him to take certain images like the one of Palm Springs or the Kiss by the Hotel de Ville. Other interesting details of Robert Doisneau’s life include that he was a soldier for the French army for one year from 1393 to 1940, where he still pursued his interests in photography. Photographer Robert Doisneau is best known for his use of romance. One of Robert’s best pieces is called, “Kiss by the Hotel De Ville.” This photo represents his body of work because it shows Robert Doisneau’s use of emphasis, style and positioning. Doisneau’s did not use any light in this particular picture and in general because he tends to take pictures in black and white. One of his photo’s called Palm Springs has natural light in the photo and it’s very subtle which leaves a very California feel for the viewer. Robert Doisneau’s photos contribute so much more than rational thought to society. In my representation of Robert Doisneau’s work, I chose him because of his photographic style and class. This style emulates his work because of his meaningful, romantic and architecturally beautiful photos. I found it engaging to work in the spirit of Robert Doisneau because his style of photography can relate to my family and my past. Overall, I think my work needs more to be more unique and classy in order to capture the essence of my artist’s work and style.

Jerry Uelsmann

In my representation of Jerry Uelsmann’s work, I chose to use Photoshop to select my hands and impose an image of Menlo-Atherton High School onto them with feathered edges. I then added clouds at the bottom, as Uelsmann commonly includes clouds in his images. This style emulates his work because of the similarity with a fairly commonplace image and abstractly putting it inside hands with clouds creating a mysterious aura at the bottom. I found it enlightening to to work in the spirit of Uelsmann because I discovered how to use Photoshop to create such abstract images, and realized how complex Uelsmann’s process must have been to combine multiple negatives and make such images without Photoshop. Overall, I think my work needs slightly more precision and sharpness in some places, and slightly more abstraction in others to fully capture Uelsmann’s spirit.

“This brilliant technician has extended the definition of what is photographic.” By Ryan Cole

erry Uelsmann, a notable photographer who specializes in composite photographs consisting of multiple negatives, remains great due to his revolutionary style that created abstract images without using Photoshop. Uelsmann began as a photographer when he began taking pictures at age fourteen to escape school and live in the world he saw through his camera. Uelsmann’s work includes Tree House, Philosopher’s Study, and Floating Tree. His work demonstrates an emphasis on abstract forms and it stands out due to the unique forms he creates through combining multiple negatives. Uelsmann’s background shows that his influences include Ansel Adams and other pho-

tographers, who compelled him to create flowing, seamless images. Other interesting details of Jerry Uelsmann’s life include the start of his career as a photographer, when he opened his first solo exhibit in 1967 at The Museum of Modern Art. Photographer Jerry Uelsmann is best known for his composite photography creating effects that appear almost like Photoshop. One of Uelsmann’s pieces is titled Tree House, and it is the result of combining multiple negatives in the darkroom. This piece best represents his body of work because it shows his use of emphasis and abstract photography with the upper story of a house on top of the lower trunk and roots of a tree.

Margaret Bourke-White

there is a clear emphasis on the man working. Overall, I found it interesting to take photos in her spirit as it was rather unique to view how the rather less known workers worked. Rather than finding a great photo, I was looking for an image that represented the hard work of less well known people, which was inspiring. In the end, I believe that my photos need more emphasis on the person passively worker, instead of them smiling for a picture. Margaret White’s pictures showed the simple truth of the workers without the need for preparation. Her determination to find the right photo was unmatched, and in her mind, no photo was unimportant. This will to find the utter truth is simply inspiring, and is the reason I find attempting to revive her spirit so fascinating. Truly, White is a photographer deserving of praise and respect.

A Woman of War, of Work, and of Truth By Alex Jin

argaret Bourke- emphasis on Gandhi and the spinning White is a famous wheel near him, which is representative photography known of her focus on diligent individuals. I for her deceptively believe that her picture on Gandhi was ment to show the world the struggles of these common, harding working people. She had to use natural lighting in this picture because Gandhi had supposedly refused the use of artificial light. Her use of processing plainly indicates the simple yet truthful nature of her photos, leaving her audience in awe at the view of the less well known workers. This perspective was important because it spread awareness on the suffering of the American worker in her time. By taking her photos, she changed people’s views not only on the workers but also around the world; she was invited by the Soviet Union to take her photographs in Russia. In my representation of Margaret Bourke-White, I had chosen to take a photo of a man behind the scenes at school. The black and white picture of a hard worker contains the spirit of the photos that White took, as

simple images of the hard working individuals. Born in New York City, on June 14, 1904, she gave people a much needed behind the scenes look of the workers in the society. Since she was young Margaret White would aid her father, who was a fan of cameras, in taking pictures. Often times, she would emphasize her work on the people that worked under the radar, such as labor workers or even war veterans, which is unique because she was one of the first people to lay out a look on what occurred behind the scenes. Examining her past, it is obvious that White’s love for photography came from her father, who was obsessed with cameras. This shared obsession caused her to pursue this career, even after her father’s death in the 1920s. Her most well known photo is that on Gandhi. It clearly shows an

Richard Avedon The Eye of Fashion By Nicole Schoonbrood Richard Avedon, a notable photographer who specializes in high fashion photography, was great due to his different view on beauty and how he had his models pose. Richard Avedon began as a photographer when he joined the Young Men’s Hebrew Association (YMHA) Camera Club. Avedon’s work includes Marella Agnelli, Italian socialite, 1953, Dovima with Elephants, 1955, and Marilyn Monroe, actress, 1957. His work demonstrates an emphasis on form and stands out due to how he positioned his models. Richard Avedon’s background shows that one of his influences was his mother, which compelled him to get involved in fashion and art. Other interesting details of Avedon’s life include how when he was younger, his first muse to photograph was his younger sister Louise. Louise had struggled in her

teenage years in psychiatric treatment and eventually was diagnosed with schizophrenia, because of these early influences of fashion and family later shaped his life and career through his love to capture tragic beauty in a photo. Photographer Richard Avedon is best known for his portraits. One of Avedon’s pieces is titled Ronald Fischer, beekeeper, 1981, and it is a portrait. This piece best represents his body of works because it shows Richard Avedon’s use of exposure to make it dramatic. Avedon’s use of artificial lighting and obvious processing leave a showstopping impression of the audience because of how unusual the beauty of the models or person is portrayed. This work is important because he introduced a new view of

fashion and allure. He changed society by reconstructing the stereotype of vogue. In my representation of Richard’s Avedon’s work, I chose to capture the “process” of beauty. This style emulates his work because of all the different ways he portrayed the idea of beauty and how commonly beauty is only seen as “perfection.” I found it moving to work in the spirit of Richard Avedon because it broadened my horizon on what beauty is or can be. Overall, I think my work requires a more professional take in order to capture the dramatic effect of Richard Avedon’s art.

Edward Weston

by Kevin Martinez

Photographer Edward Weston is best known for land scapes,still lifes,nudes,portraits,genere scenes and even whimsical parodies. One of Edward weston’s pieces is title Pepper No. 30,and it is a still life. This piece best represents his body of works because it shows Edward Weston’s use of 8 x 10 view camera and a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Graflex. His battery of lenses included an “expensive anastigmat” of unspecified make and several soft focus, or diffused focus, lenses. A few portraits were made with a Graflex. From the 3¼ x 4¼-inch negatives enlarged duplicate negatives were made for printing. Edward Weston ‘s use of natural lighting and negative processing leave a marbelous impression on the audience because it say’s something about the photographer’s identity. this work is important because the photograph is one of Edward Weston’s most famous piece’s of art. He contributed to the society by helping people to see photography as an art form and help photograph’s appear to show reality in a pure and clear way. Edward Weston was born in march march 24,1886 and passed away in january 1, 1958

Alexander Rodchenko

“Only the camra seems to be really capable of describing modern Life” -Alexander Rodchenko

By: Kyle Bryan

lexander Rodchenko, a notable photographer who specialized in graphic photography, was great due to his work in Soviet Russia. Alexander Rodchenko began as a photographer when he stopped working on graphic designs. Alexander Rodchenko’s work includes Mother, Balconies, and Pine Trees. His work demonstrates an emphasis on balance and it stands out due to his pictures of Russia. Alexander Rodchenko’s background shows that his influences are his past work as a graphic designer. Other interesting details of Alexander Rodchenko’ life include that he was married to another artist

named Varvara Stepova because she helped inspire his art. Photographer Alexander Rodchenko is best known for his poster/ designs. One of Rodchenko’s pieces is title Stairs, and it is a picture that uses pattern. This piece best represents his body of works because it shows Alexander Rodchenko’s use of patterns or lines. Alexander Rodchenkos’ use of natural lighting leaves the audience full of awe because of the affect. This work is important because it brings the picture to life. He contributed to the world’s understanding of Russia through his pictures.

In my representation of Alexander Rodchenko’s work, I looked for lines and shadows around MA. In many of his pictures there is a repeating pattern through a use of shadows and that it what i tried to recreate. I found it exciting to work in the spirit of Alexander Rodchenko, because it made me use different ideas when looking for pictures to take. Over all, I think my work needs more of a subject in order to capture the essence of Rodchenko’s work.

harold edgerton many types of sonar devices. He located many shipwrecks and crashes underwater. Additionally, the first photographs of the Titanic were taken with his camera. Harold Edgerton died in 1990 of a heart attack, but his legacy lives on in the photography world and in many other realms as well.

“In many ways unexpected results are what have inpsired my photography” -Harold Edgerton

H By: Christian Huhn

arold Edgerton was born in, Fremont Nebraska; he was famous for his picture of a milk droplet that looks like a crown. He specialized in stop action photography but he was an engineer and innovator. He began working with the stroboscope which not a lot of photographers had done up until Harold’s time. A stroboscope lets out a burst of light, which allows people to view a fast moving object in a series of static, frozen images. Edgerton was a trailblazer in the road of stop action photography. He received a bachelor in electrical engineering at University of Nebraska Lincoln. He began to work with a longtime associate Gjon Mili on his photography. He created beautiful

pictures using the stroboscope of people jumping, swinging golf clubs and many more. Many people saw what Edgerton was doing and were excited. During WWII the United States commissioned Harold to develop a superflash to take aerial photos of the battles. He also gave scientist more ways to see air currents, fluids and engines. After the war, Edgerton founded a company called EG&G Inc. with former students he taught. They were trying to design timing and firing system for atomic bomb testing with the United States. They invented a camera that could take photos of an atomic explosion 7 miles away from the blast. In 1953, he was interested in underwater exploration. He created the first ever-underwater time-lapse photography with his associate JacquesYves Cousteau. He also created

Dorothea Lange David Byrne Galen Rowell A Depression-era photographer who changed photojournalism for years to come.

By: Gabe Schacter-Brodie

hotographer Dorothea Lange was a documentary photographer and photojournalist who worked in the early to mid-1900s. One of Lange’s best known photos is Migrant Mother, in 1936 in which she captures a poor-looking woman with some of her children during the depression. For this photo, and others, Lange was awarded the prestigous Guggenheim fellowship for excellence in photography. Lange worked with her husband in the Bay Area taking photos from the depression era. She captured many pictures of poor people and families. Her photography is even more impressive considering she suffered from Polio. Her photos documented the suffering of families during the Great Depression, Japanese Internment Camps in the Unit-

worked for the Farm Security Administration as one of their premier photographers. Her style of photography was social realism which is when artists document the everyday lives of normal people. When approaching photography, she saw herself as a journalist, more than an artist and truly tried to document the lives and struggles of the everyday person. Her legacy has been preserved through her heavy involvement in the creation of the Aperture Foundation for publishing photography and Aperture Magazine, as well as the numerous awards that have been named in her honor. Though Lange was always a photographer, she originally owned and operated a portait studio. She met economist Paul Taylor, and left her husband to marry him. Not only

did they have a good marriage, they were an excellent team. He got her interested in photojournalism and they worked together, with Taylor writing reports on the subjects and Lange taking the photos. Dorothea Lange was one of the great photojournalists in American history and many photographers today are still affected by her photos. I chose to write about Lange because I thought her photography was really interesting. The photos documenting the suffering and poverty of the American people really got me interested and wanting to know more. I think that not only are her photos incredible visually, but they have a message that is really powerful.

After dropping out of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Byrne formed a band called “The Artistics” with fellow student Chris Frantz.

-David LaChapelle of unique hyper-realistic aesthetic with profound social messages. He accomplishes this by providing distinct contrast with extremely colorful pictures, which portray his take on social occurrences. David Lachapelle’s uses of lighting and processing a impression on the audience is used in order to make his photos interesting and appealing to the common folk. This work is important because LaChapelle’s photos had deeper meaning than just colorful pictures. They also discussed current events and problems in society. He contributed to the society by educating all the people who looked at his work on important events while still making them appealing and fun to look at. In my representation of David LaChapelle’s work, I chose to shoot a photo which displays great contrast and colors. This style emulates his work because of the vibrant colors and the way it jumps of the screen.

avid LaChapelle, a notable photographer who specializes in commercial photography, remains great due to his crazy monographs of famous personalities and current events. David Lachapelle began as a photographer after he ran away from home for being gay, and became a busboy in New York City. Eventually, his father brought him back to North Carolina and enrolled him in the North Carolina School of Arts where he thrived. David Lachapelle’s work includes bodybuilding, cape Canaveraldavi. His work demonstrates an emphasis on unique colors and it stands out due to the contrast of the bodybuilders pictured. The one clear body builder is surrounded by many shirtless kids who lack the physique of a body builder, making the contrast extremely evident and appealing to the eye. Photographer David LaChapelle is best known for his combining

I emulated Leibovitz’s photograph of Cate Blanchett. In the original, Blanchett poses, making two different faces, first a very happy, eccentric and enthusiastic face, then behind her, a sadder, however somewhat playful face. My interpretation of this photograph is that Leibovitz tries to show two different Cate Blanchett’s or the different aspects of her and her personality. Furthermore, as an actress, Blanchett must become many different people and cover her own personality. Based on this interpretation, I photographed two different people making similar faces as Blanchett. One is happy, eccentric and enthusiastic; the other is sadder but playful in her own right.

1989. The couple divorced in 2004. After Talking Heads, not only did Byrne begin a solo career, but he also developed a newfound passion for photography. Over the past 20 years, he has specialized in the more odd, bizaare objects of life, and has created his own. He has dressed up common objects, like in Tio Guillermo, where he put two pairs of pants on a bedside table. In a 1997 series called Superego, he took a collection of dolls with different facial expressions, and put them into different environments. In addition, he believes that his individual images are best viewed grouped together. Therefore, he also made grids of similar objects such as Purple Walls and Hallways. One of them, a collection of faces and hands, was put in an LA gallery. What makes these types of

The image to the left of a mountain durring sunset over the plains I selected because of its range of color and a uniform focus. The large mountain in the center of the frame draws the viewer’s attention to the colors of the mountain. The contrast of the red and yellow colors of the sun’s last rays on the mountain with the yellow-green color of the plains below with cattle provide a unique difference of views, seperated by a wide band of green trees in between.

technical climbs in the Sierra Nevada, the first single-day assents of Denali, Kilimanjaro, Great Trango Tower, and Cholatse, the final major peak climbed in the Everest region. Also, Rowell holds the record for the oldest person to climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park in one day at age 57. From 1968 on, he almost exclusively used 35mm Nikon cameras and lenses, as they were extremely reliable and portable. His primary film choice was Kodachrome in the 1970s and 1980s, and Fuji Velvia following its introduction in 1990. Rowell also developed a set of graduated neutral density filters, produced by Singh-Ray. They are sold under is name, and are still commonly used today.

The two were returning from a trip to Alaska to attend a photography workshop. Although both Rowell and his wife were pilots, they were not flying at the time.

Annie Leibovitz Ansel Adams

by: Gillian Ferrer

avid Muench, a notable photographer who utilizes light in such way that it paints a picture with the natural landscape, remains great because his work is often compared to Ansel Adams who also is a famous landscape photographer in black and white but David’s is done in color. David Muench began as a photographer in 1964. By his teen years he loved photography, however, he didn’t take it as a career. He attended University of California at Santa Barbara, Rochester Institute of Technology in New York and graduated from the Art Cen-

creations so speical is most photographers settle on one incredible image, but Byrne makes an overarching theme for his creations, and the individual images blend together rather nicely. Today, in addition to photography and ongoing solo albums and tours, he is a supporter of increased cycling; he wrote a book in 2009 on it and designed a handful of bike racks in New York. In my picture, I attempted to recrecreate a combination of different eyes, mouths, and hands from different people, changing eachs person’s facial expression. It was an honor to create this on behalf of David Byrne because I admire the quirkiness he has exhibited throughout his life.

Minor White

“All photographs are selfportraits.” - Minor White,

by Ben Stanley

inor White, a notable photographer who specializes in the contrast of colors in his photos, was great due to his use of natural light and shadows to create a sensation. He was born on July 9, 1908 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He attented the university of Minnesota and minored in English. Minor White began as a poet and waiter at the University club. He became a photographer when he worked for the Works Progress Administration in Oregon, and he got really serious in 1945, when he moved to New York and met Alfred Stieglitz and other notable photographers. Minor White’s work includes “Warehouse,” “Barn and Clouds,” and “Road and Poplar Trees.” His work creates an emphasis on space and contrast, and it stands out due to his spacious pictures. Minor White’s background show that his influences are Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, and Ansel Adams, who helped him create his unique style. Minor White is interesting, as he lived life as a tor-

mented bisexual, and had to repress urges for young men. He did, however, create an album of nudes published in 1989.Photographer Minor White is best known for His use of natural light. One of White’s pieces is titled “Barn and Clouds,” and it is a contrast photo using space. The piece represents his body of works because it shows White’s use of light and shadows. Minor White’s use of natural lighting and spacious processing leave a stunned impression on the audience because of the vast feeling his photos create. He has contributed to society by creating a new, spacious variety of pictures, and died a photography legend on June 24, 1976. In my recreation of Minor White’s work, I chose to find an open place (a nearby ranch) with few objects while the sun was rising, creating cool, shadowy effects. This style emulates his work because of the natural light and free space.

Modern Art. Diane lived the life of an accepted photographer, taking the photos no one else wanted to. This showed the public that Diane wanted to capture the moments people of higher class didn’t want to see. Diane voiced a part of New York City. Her ability to create an image of interest while making you want to look away at the same time spoke about her ability with the camera. Diane unfortunetly had many personal problems. Tensions led to a divorce from her husband in 1969. The divorce sent Diane into a depression. She commited suicide in her New York apartment on July 26, 1971. Her photography inspired the movie “Fur” released in 2006 with Nicole Kidman playing the role of Diane Arbus.

nsel Adams, a notable photographer who specializes in black and white landscape photography, was great due to his use of photography for promoting wilderness conservation. He was born on February 20,1902 in San francisco, California. Ansel Adams began as a photographer when his first portfolio, Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras, was published. Ansel Adams’ work includes “Monolith, the Face of Half Dome”, “Rose and Driftwood”, and “Moon and Half Dome”. His work demonstrates an emphasis on space and it stands out due to his photography being mostly in black and white and of nature. Ansel Adams’ background shows that his influences are his trips to Yosemite as a child, which compelled him to raise awareness for the wilderness through

his photos. Other interesting details of Ansel Adams’ life include that he was a very hyperactive child and was home schooled because this is why he ended up teaching himself much of the time and this includes learning about photography. Photographer Ansel Adams is best known for his first portfolio, Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras. One of Ansel Adams’ pieces is titled “Marion Lake”, and it is a black and white nature photo. This piece best represents his body of works because it shows Ansel Adams’ use of natural or outdoor light. Ansel Adams’ use of natural lighting and subtle processing leave a lasting impression on the audience because of how he uses the natural beauty of the earth and enhances it. This work is important because he shows the amount of space and beauty there

Walker Evans “Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts.”

― Walker Evans

by: Havens Ratchye

alker Evans, a notable photographer who specializes in Depression Era photography, was great due to the deep and meaningful nature of his photos. Evans began as a photographer when he dropped out of college at the age of. Evans was born on November 3rd, 1903, in St. Louis, Mississippi. He came from a wealthy family, but after going to school for a little bit studying french literature at Williams College, but he dropped out and worked as a clerk on wall street and then become a photographer. In later life, he became a professor at Yale. Evans’ first marriage was to Jane Smith Ninas, who he married rather early on in his life. He remarried after a few years to Isabelle Boschedstein won Steiger, but divorced her after 12 years, 3 years before his death. Walker Evans had no children with either of his wives. He died peacefuly in his Connecticut home in 1975. Walker Evans’ work includes the famous photograph of Ellie Mae Burroughs he took during the Great Depression, the sharecroppers who

were also photographed during the Great Depression, and Tenant Farmer’s Daughter, also shot in the Great Depression in the year 1936. His work demonstrates an emphasis on form and it stands out due to the emotions his photos evoke, such as pity, sadness, and a sense of helplessness and immense need. He also forces the watchful photograph fan to take note of the dirt, and the poor conditions that the people of the Great Depression had to deal with every day. Evans’ influences included the patters from skyscrapers and other industrial projects and architecture, as well as Eugene Atget, a French photographer, who took photographs with artistic qualities in mind of Paris at the turn of the 20th century. These influences compelled Evans to take heartfelt pictures of the tragedy the Great Depression caused throughout the United States and the world. Photographer Walker Evans is best known for his picture of Ellie Mae Burroughs. In this picture is Ellie Mae, the wife of a farmer in Alabama. She looks forlornly into the camera lens, forcing one to feel her seemingly endless struggle with money, work, and providing for her family. This piece best rep-

resents Walker’s work due to the emotion Ellie Mae brings to his photograph. One can feel what she felt at the time of the photo and pity her. Evans’ use of natural lighting and subtle adjustments only serves to make his work

more natural. He does not need to embellish the photos, because they stand alone, without needless adornments. Anyone who looks at Evans’ photos immediately can sense the emotions felt by the people in his photos. He does not need to change the photos in any serious way to make them more powerful than they already are. Walker Evans’ photographs made people stop and take note of the struggles the majority of the country felt during the Great Depression. His pictures captured the feelings of the time, and forever kept them in America’s history books. In my representation of Evans’ work I chose to recreate his photograph of Ellie Mae Burroughs. in my photo, the model mimcts Evans’ style by appearing sad and listless, like the people Evans’ photographed during the Great Depression. Her face conveys to the watcher that she has, similar to Evans’ subjects, been through unforseen tradgedies no one should ever have to deal with. This mimics what people felt like during the Great Depression.

I found it relaxing to work in the spirit of Minor White because I got to go out into the middle of nowhere and take a picture. Overall, I think my work needs to be a little more isolated, because many of White’s photos had an abandoned feel to them

is in the outdoors in Northern California. He contributed to society by using his photography skills to raise awareness for the wilderness in California and all of America. Sadly he died on April 22, 1984 in Monterey, California. In my representation of Ansel Adams’ work, I chose to go outside and into nature to take the perfect picture in black and white. This style emulates his work because of the fact that his main focus is nature and wilderness and he likes to create an impact using black and whit instead of color. I found it exhilarating to work in the spirit of Ansel Adams because I love nature just like he did and wanted to take a photo that was at least half as good as his. Overall, I think my work needs a little more refinement I need to work on learning what angles make a subject in my photo stand out like Ansel Adams did.

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.”

erbert Ritts, a notable photographer because of his unique ability to capture art and glamour in commercial photography was great due to his artful depictions of famous people.Ritts was born August 12, 1952. Herb Ritts began as a photographer when he first took photos of his friend, Richard Gere in front of a Buick that was falling apart. Eventually he was taking photos of legends such as Olivia Newton-John and Madonna. Herb Ritts’ work includes Madonna. This photo possess incredible contrast between black and white, making Madonna’s skin appear very white and the shadows to apprear very dark. Herb Ritts was born in Los Angeles and began working in his family furniture business early on. Eventually Herb Ritts began to become more serious about photography in general. He began photographing Brooke Shields for Elle magazine on October 12, 1981. From there he took photos for many big names in

- Herb Ritts the magazine industry including Esquire, Rolling Stone and Vogue. He was rising fast and began directing music videos, his first being Madonna’s “Cherish”. He went on to direct several more music videos and receive awards for his work on them. Unfortunately, Herb died on December 26, 2002 at the age of 50. After his death in 2002, Herb Ritts has left a lasting impression on the world of photography. In my representation of Herb Ritts’ work, I chose to photograph my close friend Theresa. This style emulates his work because it shows a close portrait that adds depth to an individual’s personality. I found it difficult to work in the spirit of Herbert Ritts because he photographed the rich and famous and unfortunately Menlo Park, California doesn’t have the amount of famous people as one would first think. Overall, I think my work needs show a more glamorous depiction of my subject in order to truly capture the essence of Herb Ritts, but this is something that is much easier said than done.

Diane Arbus My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been. -Diane Arbus-

By Jesus Ortega

iane Arbus, a notable photographer who specializes in deviant or marginal people, remains due to the difference between what people wanted others to see and what they did see. Arbus began as a photographer in a commercial business called “Diane and Allan” and her being the art director and Allan as a photographer. Arbus’ work includes Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park, Identical twins, and Teenage Couple on Hudson Street. Her work demonstrates an emphasis on balance, contrast and space and it stands out due to the way she took the picture. She took them to just focus on the people. Diane’s background shows that her influences are her father and other photographers, which compelled her to chose to photograph unusual

people living on the edge of acceptable society. Other interesting details of Arbus’ life include the fact of why she moved to New York. She moved to New York because she didn’t like the secondary role she had back with her dad. Photographer Diane arbus is best known for her weird pictures. One of Diane’s piece is title Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park, and it is a street p h o t o g r a p h y. This piece best represents her body of work because it shows Diane’s use of freak photos. Diane’s use of natural lighting leaves a focused impression on the audience because of the main image in the picture she makes us see. This work is important because it helps other people to find a way to get people’s attention without telling them to orally but visually. She contributed to society by showing the world what kind of people are living in New York

and that they are also human like everyone else. In my representation of Diane’s work, I choose to recreate the weirdness she showed in her pictures. This style emulates her work because she took pictures of the “freaks” and showed the difference of people that live in earth. I found it a bit awkward to work in the spirit of Diane Arbus because I have never seen that type of weirdness and yet I live around it without knowing. Overall, I think my work needs the black and white effect with the natural lighting and a main focus in order to capture the essence of showing the weirdness.

-Henri Cartier-Bresson

By Angel Sanchez Henri Cartier-Bresson, a notable photographer who specializes street photography, was great due to his ability to capture life on the run. Henri Cartier-Bresson began as a photographer when Bresson went hunting in Africa but became uninterested in the sport and developed an interest in photography. As he would later note, “I adore shooting photographs. It’s like being a hunter. But some hunters are vegetarians—which is my relationship to photography.” Henri Cartier-Bresson’s work includes, ‘Au Bord de la Marne’, ‘Derriere la Gare Saint-Lazare’, ‘The Var department; Hyères’. His work demonstrates an emphasis on the Decisive Moment, which combines elements of time, theme, and composition; and it stands out due to his ability to capture the perfect image in the category of reportage or journalism earning him the nickname as ‘Father of Modern P h o t o j o u r n a l i s m .’ Henri Cartier-Bresson’s background shows that his influences are based on his hunting trip in Africa in 1931, which compelled him to take natural shots without artificial light, dark room effects, or even cropping. Other interesting details about Henri Cartier-Bresson’s life includes that in WWll Bresson was imprisoned by German forces but after two failed attempts he was able to escape which is astounding for a photographer to have attempted. Photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson is best known for his photo book ‘The Decisive Moment’. One of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s pieces is titled ‘Greece. Cyclades. Island of Siphnos’, and it is a street photograph. This piece best represents his body of works because it shows Henri Cartier-Bresson’s use of only natural light. Henri Cartier-Bresson’s use of natural lighting and subtle processing leave a captured impression on the audience because of his extraordinary talent for capturing what is inside the outward appearance. This work is important because it show us the normal world that we often don’t care not to see. He

is about capturing nature in it’s natural state.”

avid Muench, a notable photographer who specializes in landscape and nature photography, remains great due to being the inventor of original and oft-imitated approaches to the landscape, bringing his own idea of geography into both his spectacular color and black and white images. He was born on June 25, 1936 (age 77) in Santa Barbara, CA. Muench began as a photographer when he was a teenager in the late 1950s, and had his first photographs published as front and back covers of Arizona Highways when Raymond Carlson was editor, and he was still in high school. His education took place at Rochester Institute of Technology. He is the sec-

ond generation of three in Muench family to become a photographer. He is married and too has a son that is a photographer following his footsteps. Muench’s work includes STAR WHEEL 1978, Elements in Black, and AUTUMN 1980. His work demonstrates emphasis on elements of art and it stands out due to the series of colors he presents in his photography. Muench’s background shows that his influences are his father, renowned photographer Josef Muench, and the world, which compelled him to start landscape photography. Other interesting details about Muench include writing books because he is inspired by his journey around the world.

Photographer David Muench is best known for reflection pictures. He does his work with his work with a 4x5 large format camera. He has been photographing landscapes for 50 years. PARKER GROVE SEQUOIAS 1998, and it is nature photography. This best best represents his body of works because it shows Muench’s use of lighting technique. Muench’s use of natural lighting and color processing leaves an astonishing impression on the audience because of his exemption of purity and wildness. He has contributed to the society by capturing the mood of a place, nature in it’s natural state, and showing the real feeling of nature when there’s no one there to disturb it. In my representation of Muench’s work, I chose to take pictures of a tree with bright, vibrant colors. This style emulates Muench’s work because it consists of landscape with bright vivid colors. I found it a bit difficult to work in the spirit of Muench’s because he needs to travel to specific places with stunning sceneries in order to take a perfect shot. Overall, i think my work requires editing the image’s color in order to capture the similar colorfulness of Muench’s work.

Imogen Cunningham Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.

- Imogen Cunnigham

mogen Cunningham was born on April 12, 1883 in Portland, Oregon to her father Issac Burns Cunningham. In her youth her father encouraged her to read, and had her attend art lessons every summer once she was in school. At a young age her family moved to Seattle, Washington where she continued to learn the basics of art in classes. She eventually continued her education at the University of Washington in Seattle where she majored in chemistry; her photography professor suggested a sci ϐ that it would help her in the future as she perused a profession in the arts. Throughout her collage years she worked as a secretary for her chemistry professor to help pay her tuition. Her graduating chemistry thesis was titled “The Process of Photograph”, which acted as an inclination towards her eventual pursue of photography. After graduating Cunningham interned alongside “The North American Indian” photographer Edward C Curtis where she learned the techniques of platinum printing. In 1909 she was awarded a scholarship from her alma mater to attend exclusive photography courses at the Technische Hochshule in Dresden, Germany. Upon her return she opened a portrait studio in Seattle where she acted as the only photographer who

is best know for the CocaCola campaign. One of LaChapelle’s pieces is title “I buy a big car for shopping”, and it is a Commercial work. This piece best represents his body of works because it shows LaChapelle’s use for set a product in scene, humor. David LaChapelle’s use of natural lighting and commercial work processing leave a big impression on the audience because of set his product or person who he shoot perfect in scene, and this work is important for a pfrofessional photgrapher. He changed to the society by to see the world differently. In my representation of David LaChapelle’s work, I chose to because the pictures are different between the other photographers, his pictures are not normal and funny not sad. This style emulates his work because of the many celebrity pictures and the many commercial works. I found it great to work in the spirit of David LaChapelle because he makes really good pictures.

After a short time she moved back to California and began traveling with Dorthea Lange and Paul Taylor to document a lumber co-operative; this was the beginning of her life-long series of street photography. Once she returned home she made a dramatic change and began photographing in color. She contributed to the world of photography dramatically by being one of the original members of Group f.64 and by encouraging a softer and simpler approach to photography.

The black background also helps you to observe all the little details of the botanical that you would not have been able to see before. To achieve this effect, the sun must be behind the photographer so that a faint light is shown on the object; also, the photo must be taken at low light so that the background still remains black. Using this method, she was able to keep the background of her works completely black while still having her emphasis remain bright white and in focus. Her photographs are very calming to the eye and allow people to observe the hidden complexity of the basic things in life.

“Landscape photography

By Alex Sanchez John Sexton, a notable photographer who specializes in black and white photographs, which soon became notable when his pictures turned out amazing using his awesome creative printing technique. John Sexton was born on September 29, 1942 and currently 70 years old began as a photographer when he graduated in college from his art major in 1976. John Sexton’s work includes, black and white then later turns out remarkable with his printing technique. His work mainly emphasizes on the landscape and his concern with deeper connections with his work, also he newly found technology fascinating. John was greatly influenced when coming across the work of the legend of landscape, Ansel Adams, after close examination of his work John says with exaggeration and astonishment, “I never had a photograph in front of me that made your heart skip and catch your breath. It was truly an inspiring experience.” John Sexton was married once with an actor named Kathleen B. Jones. Photographer John Sexton is best known for his Expressive Black and White Print workshop, which has gone on for 29 years so far. One of John Sexton’s pieces is titled Places of Power: The Aesthetics of Technology, 2000. Which really focuses on his black and white photos. John Sexton’s use of lighting and subtle processing leave a long question running in the observer’s head because of the black and white. This work is important because it comes from the heart of the photographer. He contributed to society by displaying the work of black and white altering new ideas that are philosophical and unique.In my representation of John Sexton’s work, I chose to represent his work in an original display, black and white photo shopped. This style emulates his work because of his specialization in black and white photos and the true meaning of taking a photo by heart.I found it unique to work in the spirit of John Sexton because he doesn’t just do it for the audience he shoots for his goals and dreams. Overall, I think my work needs more of a

contributed to the society by showing the importance of photojournalism and unknowingly having his work become the guidelines for modern photojournalism. In my representation of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s work I chose to stand at the top of a staircase and photograph a passing skateboarder. This style emulates his work because it applies a sense of geometry with vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines with curves, shadows, and squares. I found it eye-opening because it taught me to look deeper into what is around me everyday. Overall, I think my work needs more experience in seeing deeper into what I photograph in a moment in life in order to capture the essence of a moment in life that holds something deeper in its appearance, such as the multitude of geometrical shapes in my photograph.

I didn’t have any interest in traditional art. -Cindy Sherman

by Cayla Stillman

indy Sherman is a widely recognized contemporary photographer who is able to be an influence for many people and artists today. Through her unique self-portraits she has had the ability to create a new and innovative style of photography. Sherman was born on January 19th, 1954 in New Jersey. She and her family then moved to Long Island where she spent most of her childhood. She then attended the State University of New York where she began studying painting. Interestingly enough, Sherman did not want to continue in painting because “there was nothing more to say [in painting]” and she said that she felt too limited, so she focused her attention onto photography. After Sherman’s graduation she moved to New York City to pursue her dreams as an artist. In 1977 she began working on her first photography series, which was entitled the Untitled Film Stills. This series was the start of famous self-portraits that have so greatly affected society. The idea of this series was to mimic the average woman.

Examples of this include the average housewife, or the average beach girl, etc. She had a wide variety of personas; she ranged from a clown to a prostitute. By 1980 Sherman had conquered (in her self portraits) many of the stereotypical women personas. After Untitled Film Stills, Sherman continued to thrive with her self-portraits. From 1985 to 1989 she worked on Disaster and Fairy Tales, which portrayed more of a darker feeling in the photographs than her others. She then moved onto History Portraits, where she looked in the past for inspiration. She was the model for these photographs and assumed the roles of many famous European women. In 1997 Sherman veered into the filming industry. She directed Office Killer, which was her most successful film. She then continued with photographer and endeavored into a series devoted primarily to clowns. In 2012 she announced that she would have a solo exhibit at MoMA, which showed off her unique and modern style. Sherman currently lives in New York City with her boyfriend David Byrne.

As seen in the pictures, Sherman has had the ability to expand the field of photography. With her portrait of the clown she has the audience focus on the colors, which draw the eyes. In the furthest photograph to the left the audience can see how she emulated the average women. One can see the texture shown in her make up, hair, and overall appearance. In the next photograph one is able to see the darker/ more provocative side of Sherman’s photography. This photo shows one the emphasis on darker colors and a darker vibe. Her next photograph shows how she was able look to history for inspiration and was able to mirror an historic European woman. The top image is a perfect example of how Sherman is able to imitate the average women. The photograph’s form puts an emphasis on the idea that this is what society perceives an average woman to be like (which might not always be correct). The beauty of Sherman’s work is that she is able to challenge the assumptions made by society. Her work has been called “socially critical”, because her photographs show the generalization that society put forth. In my representation of Sherman’s work, I chose to try to capture the unique and odd sides of her photographs. I wanted to be a corky woman, who might have a hard time fighting in. I really tried to not just take the photograph, but really engage and become the persona. My photograph emulates the work of Cindy Sherman because I was to become this new person through photography. I used a lot of make up to emulate the color in her photographs. I also provided an odd appearance to mimic that same style that she portrays throughout many of her images.

Imogen Cunningham Eugene Smith Paul Strand The Dawn of a Female Photographer

“Anybody is influenced by where and how he lives.” -Imogen Cunningham

mogen Cunningham, a notable photographer who specializes in form of plants and the nude human body, was great due to the fact that she was very unique in the ways she photographed plants in dark rooms. Cunningham began as a photographer when she went to the University of Washington in Seattle. Cunningham’s work includes Magnolia Flower, Leaf Pattern, and Araujia Seed Pod. Her work demonstrates an emphasis on shape and it stands out due to the era of modernism in which she worked. Other interesting details of Cunningham’s life include the fact that she was hired in several vanity fairs because it seems uncommon for the time. Photographer Imogen Cunningham is best

known for her botanical photos. One of Cunningham’s pieces is titled Magnolia Flower, and it is a botanical photo. This piece best represents her body of work because it shows Cunningham’s use of artificial light. Cunningham’s use of artificial lighting and obvious processing leave an awestruck impression on the audience because of the contrasts and emphasis. This work is important because it was a shot of a plant in her own back yard, expressing the idea of home it portrayed to Cunningham. She changed society by being an essential American woman photographer. Her vision contributed to many great icons in history. In my representation of Imogen Cunningham’s work, I chose to take a photo of a lone flower and turn it into a black and white con-

trast. This style emulates her work because of the contrast between black and white. Also because of the focus on form of the flower and petals. I found it exciting to work in the spirit of Imogen Cunningham because I felt like i was a famous photographer. Over all, I think my work needs better defining lines between the object and the background because i had to select the object alone to make it bright and white and it made some of the lines around the object seem artificial. This would help me capture the essense of focus in replicating Imogen Cunningham.

ugene Smith is a notable photographer because he is one of the inventers of the photo essay. Over his career, he made many photo essays denouncing war and showing the poor conditions in which many people live. Born in Wichita Kansas, in 1918, Eugene Smith was originally raught photography by his mother , Nettie. By the age of 13 Smith had committed himself to photography, by age 18 his work was already published. Smith went to Notre Dame, h a v ing a photography scholarship created for him. Smith rarely had time to spend with his wife and two children due to spending so much time doing photography. Smith’s most famous photo is his “The Walk to Paradise Garden,” which depicts his children walking to a garden.

Some of Smith’s other notable works include his photo essays of World War 2 in the South Pacific and the Spanish village of Deleitosa. Smith’s work often focuses on the forms of those people and objects in his photographs. These create vivid images of the squalid conditions most of Smith’s subjects lived. Smith would stage his photos, but only in ways that seemed realistic to how his subjects would act. Smith was sent to photograph World War II, after which he was deeply traumatized. Smith’s time spent photographing World War II greatly influenced his work, which showed the harsh reality of many people’s lives. This, however, made Smith not wish to work on assignments he considered pointless or petty. Smith eventually died in New York in 1978. Although he mainly concentrated on photo

Photographer of Dynamos “The beauty of the past belongs to the past.”-Margaret Bourke-White

argaret Bourke-White, a notable photographer who specializes in photos of modern industry, architecture, and from historical events, remains great due to her use of silver gelatin print to capture images that were very powerful. White began as a photographer when she attended Columbia University to study photography. In college, she sold photographs to students, which shows her love for photography. She moved to Cleveland in 1927 to open her own studio. She captured images on the effect of modern industry. Her amazing photographs caused Henry Luce, founder of Fortune and Time magazine, to hire White as the first staff photographer of Fortune magazine. White’s dream

essays, Smith is best known for his “Walk to Paradise Garden”, which portrays Smith’s children walking into a bright garden from a dark foreground. This photo transition from darkness to light displays its contents in almost whimsical fashion and creates a happy yet mysterious feel. This black and white photo’s backlighting creates an image into a moment of Smith’s children’s lives. It wworks well with Smith’s desire to make a photo showing complete peace and happiness, his idea of an anti-war photo. This photo shows the power a simple, almost everyday image can have when presented in the correct manner. I chose to emulate one of Eugene Smith’s photos he took during World War II, which is the top photo directly to the left of this column of writing. In order to emulate this photo, I first examined its contents. It was an image of identical tanks crawling across a desolate landscape, framed by a ruined military structure. I started by looking for a desolate landscape, the closest thing I could find being the blacktop. I used running PE students for the tanks, as both seem equally identical from afar. I used part of the railing on the stairs to frame the photo. Rather than have the top of the photo be light and the bottom of the photo dark, as in Smith’s photo, I chose to have the colors reversed, with the locations of the people also on top.

Julia Moreton

aul Strand, an american photographer born October 16, 1890 in New York, focused on capturing photos based on three major themes, movement in a city, abstractions, and street portraits. Paul attempted to capture the spirit of his subjects and became famous because he brought his work to life by embodying common events in a city in an artistic sophisticated way. Strand first encountered photography in high school at New York City’s Ethical Culture School at the age of 17. One day the class took a field trip to Alfred Stieglitz’s Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession and Paul was so inspired by the work in the gallery that he decided to become a photographer. Paul did not go to college. Paul got married three times,

His first wife was a painter named Rebecca Salisbury, his second was Virginia Stevens, and his third wife being Hazel Kingsbury Strand whom he was married to until he died on March 31, 1976 in Orgeval, Yvelines. Strand did not have any children. Paul Strand’s work includes Wall Street, Blind Woman, and 125 St. Viaduct. His artwork demonstrates an emphasis on patterns and contrast and it stands out due to his ability to capture the movement of cities and the different people in a city. “Wall Street” represents his theme of movement in a city because you can see people going about their day with a towering building in the background casting shadows across the pavement. “Blind Woman” represents street portraits because it shows an elderly woman sitting in the street with a sign around her neck boldly

saying the word BLIND. It also represents a different kind of living in a city, not just wealthy people but the poverty as well which society needs to be exposed to. The picture “125 St. Viaduct” represents his theme of abstraction because the shadows do not make it clear what the subject of the picture is. Strand was influenced by Alfred Steiglitz, his mentor, who instructed him to take deliberate pictures of his surroundings. In order to get the shot he wanted, Paul had to use a decoy lens in order to trick his subjects into thinking he was not taking their picture when in reality the actual lens was under his arm. Paul Strand is best known for the photograph “Wall Street”. This piece best demonstrates Paul’s use of patterns and shadows in the columns. His use of natural lighting leaves the viewers feeling connected to the piece as if they were there when the piece was taken. His work helps society view cities from the perspective of others. In my representation of Paul’s work, I choose to recreate “Blind Woman” because it portrays a different type of living that some people are not aware of. “Blind Woman” is a black and white portrait of a woman on the streets. I am going to take a picture of a student leaning against a wall and looking at the camera with a look of mistrust. This representation of Paul’s work will mimic a theme of his pictures, the difference between wealthy society and poverty. I wanted to work in the spirit of Paul Strand because his work reflects the struggles of people as well as showing the simplicity of the world even though it may seem chaotic.

George Hurrell

By:Juan Lopez eorge Hurrell, a notable photographer who specializes in portraits and lighting photography, was due to his experience and knowledge in these types of photography.He was born on June 1 1904 in Cincinnati.George Hurrell began as a photographer when he was in art school, and when he was enrolled in a night painting night school. One day a famous landscape painter Edgar Alwyn Payne visited his art school and was impressed with Hurrell’s paintings. George Hurrell’s work includes Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, and Humphrey Bogart. His work demonstrates an emphasis on the the type of lighting and the special backgrounds that he uses in these photo’s. George Hurrell’s backgrounds shows that his influences are dated from the past, which complimented him to make all of these beautiful portraits of hollywood stars and everyday people. Other interesting details of George Hurrell’s life include that some of his early private work was published in the Los Angeles Times

“The goal is the work itself.”

of becoming a photographer became reality. White’s work includes “Gandhi at his Spinning Wheel”, “Fort Peck Dam”, and “A Boy from a Delhi Refugee Camp.” Her work demonstrates an emphasis on value and shape and it stands out do to her use of silver gelatin print. Clarence White, the photographer she studied under at Columbia University, and Henry Luce, compelled her to shoot her images of important events in our history.

In my representation of White’s work, I chose to focus on architecture. I chose the performing arts center because it is the most interesting piece of architecture at Menlo-Atherton. Using photoshop, I changed the photo into a black and white image. This style emulates her work becuase she took many photographs of interesting architecture and all of her photographs were in black and white. I found it exciting to work in the spirit of White because I enjoyed transforming the photograph into black and white. Overall, I think my work needs to be more focused on old architecture rather than modern architecture in order to capture the essence of importance.

Margaret Bourke-White left a lasting impression on photography. She captured events in our history that are very emotional. Her use of black and white photography caused the images to be more powerful. Her photographs created a legacy that will not be forgotten.

Harold Edgerton “Don’t make me out to be an artist. I am an engineer. I am after the facts, only the facts.” -Harold Edgerton

Edgerton snaps a photo on high shutter speed, as well as high aperature. This photo shows the one moment of the foot making contact with the ball. It almost looks like the foot is being engulfed by the football. Harold Edgerton has left his mark on many aspects of photography and changed many people’s perspectives on highspeed photography. In my version of Harold Edgerton’s work, I took a picture of Blake hitting an apple with a baseball bat with high shutter speed and aperature. The picture was able to pause reality and show the apple being hit. This style emulates his work because it attempts to freeze time to get an amazing action shot. I found my version of Edgerton’s photography to work in the spirit of his photos because my picture attempts to show something the naked eye could not see on its own. My representation of Harold Edgerton’s work could be improved on because I was not able to capture the apple split at the exact time the bat hits it, as he did with the banana and the bullet.

“In many ways, unexpected results are what have most inspired my photography.”- Harold Edgerton

“PAPA FLASH” by Christian Fioretti

arold Eugene“Doc” Edgerton was a famous photographer who specialized in electronic technology and high-speed strobe photography. He remains great because of his amazing “speed light” shots and his influential advancements in many aspects of photography. Edgerton was essentially responsible for the invention of flash photography. Along with being an influential photographer, Harold Edgerton was an electrical engineer whose work of underwater and strobe photography influenced both science and art in the 20th century. Edgerton was originally from Fremont, Nebraska, but spent his entire academic career at MIT.

There, he made himself known as an expert in high-speed photography. Edgerton also traveled around the world displaying the artistic, industrial, and entertainment qualitites of stroboscope photography. Harold Edgerton’s use of “speedlight” to stop motion on film is one of the many things he is well known for. his most famous shots is the “Milkdrop Coronet”. This work demonstrates his use of “speed light” because the milk dropping seems to be a solid object, by snapping the photo at the exact time needed with a high shutter speed. Another one of his influential works is “Wes Fesler Kicking a Football”, where again the “speed light” photgraphy was used to stop motion. In the photo he has Wes Fesler kick a football, and at the exact moment his foot touches the ball,

Imogen Cunningham lywood stars for their’s and other magazines. Cunningham divorced from Roi and moved to New York upon invitation to work permanently with Vanity Fair. After a short time she moved back to California and began traveling with Dorthea Lange and Paul Taylor to document a lumber co-operative; this was the beginning of her life-long series of street photography. Once she returned home she made a dramatic change and began photographing in color. She contributed to the world of photography dramatically by being one of the original members of Group f.64 and by encouraging a softer and simpler approach to photography. She resided in San Francisco until her death on June 23, 1976 at the age of 93. Cunnigham’s photos were always very simple, which allows for personal interpretations. Her famous botanical shots were always in black and white, with the background being completely black to emphasize the flower. By taking her pictures this way she encourages you to see the complexity and beauty in something as simple as a rose. The black background also helps you to observe all the little details of the botanical that you would not have been able to see before. To achieve this effect, the sun must be behind the photographer so that a faint light is shown on the object; also, the photo must be taken at low light so that the background still remains black. Using this method, she was able to keep the background of her works completely black while still having her emphasis remain bright white and in focus. Her photographs are very calming to the eye and allow people to observe the hidden complexity of the basic things in life.

- Imogen Cunnigham

mogen Cunningham was born on April 12, 1883 in Portland, Oregon to her father Issac Burns Cunningham. In her youth her father encouraged her to read, and had her attend art lessons every summer once she was in school. At a young age her family moved to Seattle, Washington where she continued to learn the basics of art in classes. She eventually continued her education at the University of Washington in Seattle where she majored in chemistry; her photography professor suggested a scientific major saying that it would help her in the future as she perused a profession in the arts. Throughout her collage years she worked as a secretary for her chemistry professor to help pay her tuition. Her graduating chemistry thesis was titled “The Process of Photograph”, which acted as an inclination towards her eventual pursue of photography. After graduating Cunningham interned alongside “The North American Indian” photographer Edward C Curtis where she learned the techniques of platinum printing. In 1909 she was awarded a scholarship from her alma mater to attend exclusive photography courses at the Technische Hochshule in Dresden, Germany. Upon her return she opened a portrait studio in Seattle where she acted as the only photographer who

was a member of the Society of Seattle Artist. She held exhibits frequently where she showed her “soft focus” photographs to the public and eventually held her first one-person exhibition in 1914 at the Brooklyn Institute of Art and Sciences. In 1917 she married fellow artist Roi Partridge and had their first son Gryffyd; shortly after his birth they moved to San Francisco, California where she had their twin sons Rondal and Padraic. While her children were young she stayed at home to care for them, so her photographs were often of them and the plants that grew in her garden. Cunningham accepted her first commercial assignment after several years to photograph the Adolph Bohm Ballet Intime, around this same time she began taking her signature sharp focus plant photographs. She soon began being featured in many prestigious museums around the world and gained even more international fame. Ten of her photos were exhibited in the Film and Foto Exibition in Stuttgart Germany. Around the same time she exhibited at the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco, and later photographed and published pictures of the ballet dancer Martha Graham for the 1931 December issue of Vanity Fair. After this publishing the editors asked her to take several assignments photographing other Hol-

W. Eugene Smith Always a Story

by Alex Thayer (Ebrahimi) illiam Eugene Smith, more widely known as W. Eugene Smith, was born in Wichita, Kansas on December 30, 1918. His mother, Nellie, taught him about photography after he graduated Wichita North High School he worked at The Wichita Eagle and the Beacon. After attending Notre Dame University on a scholarship created for him he quit and moved to New York City. He left from Newsweek over a disagreement about camera choice and Smith began working for Life magazine. During his work in World War II, his style of immersing himself in whatever he was photographing caused his to sustain multiple injuries. He sometimes followed his subjects for a week or more and spent time with them to understand their lives and express their character through his film. In 1946, Smith took one of his most famous photographs, ‘A Walk to Paradise Garden’ of his two children, Juanita and Patrick, while he was out of the field because of an injury. While he covered the war, Smith created many photo essays and refined the style. As a humanitarian photographer, Smith’s photos often focus on faces and his photos are very purposeful and thoughtful. After Smith left Life over a dispute about the usage of some of his photographs of Albert Schweitzer, he began in 1955 to document life in Pittsburgh. The project eventually lasted three years and induced approximately 475 rolls of film and over 15,000 photographs. In January of 1972, near Tokyo, Smith was attacked by employees of the Chisso company to prevent him from

further spreading details of Minamata disease caused by mercury poisoning and a significant problem in Japan beginning in the late 1950’s and lawsuits and Chisso’s attempts to provide financial compensation to victims and their families are still continuing today. He was injured and his left eye forever impaired but Smith and his wife Aileen continued their work publicizing the disease. Smith, as a workaholic humanitarian photographer and photojournalist, tried to always be ethical and said that helping the subject of the photo was always more important than the photo itself. He was constantly engrossed in and incredibly passionate about his work and used drugs, particularly amphetamines, to give him the ability to work longer hours but because of his lifelong substance abuse, he had a stroke on October 15, 1978 and died in Tucson, Arizona. One of Smith’s most well known and moving images is titled “The Wake” and during an interview with Philippe Halsman, another photographer, he explained the circumstances. Halsman: “Here were people in deep sorrow and you were putting flash bulbs in their eyes, disturbing their sorrow. What’s the justification of your intrusion?“ Smith: “I think I would not have been able to do this if I had not been ill the day before. I was ill with stomach cramps in a field and a man who was a stranger to me came up and offered me a drink of wine which I did not want, but which out of the courtesy of his kindness, I accepted. And the next day by coincidence, he came rushing to me and said, ‘Please, my

father has just died, and we must bury him and will you take me to the place where they fill out the papers?’ And I went with him to the home and I was terribly involved with the sad and compassionate beauty of the wake and when I saw him come close to the door, I stepped forward and said, ‘Please sir, I don’t want to dishonor this time but may I photograph’” and he said, ‘I would be honored.’” The photo makes his respect for his subjects obvious and it displays his typical focus towards faces. His bright flash cast beautifully bold shadows across the faces of the mourners and deceased and their dark clothing adds to the high contrast. This black and white photojournalism piece was from a series called “The Spanish Village,” for Life magazine. I chose it because the story is incredible, unique, and unlike anything I have ever seen before. Other people should experience the photo because of its haunting beauty and the way it expresses W. Eugene Smith’s style of candid photos with thoughtful light, particularly on the faces of his subjects. As a photographer, Smith brought truth to all of the projects he worked on and told the stories of all his subjects with incredible passion. In my representation of Smith’s work, I tried to also focus on the face of my subject as the light of the rising sun hit her face in an interesting way while driving in the car. I had attempted to either use a flash or a lamp for a striking light such as in Smith’s photos, but it was so dark I ended up just bracketing and neither of them were successful. Discouraged, I began to take a few photos in the car on my way to school. I did not look at them or realize that I had such an appropriate representation of W. Eugene Smith’s work until I reviewed my photographs in class. While Smith tried to get to know his subjects, I already knew mine (she is my mother) and the car ride, to me, represents the repetition of the work-week. It was fascinating and inspirational to learn about and work in the spirit of W. Eugene Smith because of his passion for the art and truth of photography.

Robert Doisneau “The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.”

- Robert Doisneau

By Jackie Lopez

obert Doisneau was born in Gentilly, France on April 14, 1912 and died on April 1, 1994 in Montrouge, France. He was married to Pierrette Chaumaison and had two children, Annette and Francine. He lived in Gentilly,France. When he was 16 he took up amateur photography. Robert Doisneau started as a photographer in 1929 but his career as a professional began in 1934 at the Renault works in Billancourt. He then served in the French army until 1940. He was influenced by the work of André Kertesz and Eugene Atget. Photographer Robert Doisneau specialized in street photography. He liked to take pictures that were playful,ironic and very

natural. In 1949, Doisneau signed a contract with the fashion magazine Vogue, for which he worked as a full-time staff photographer until 1952. He documented life in the suburbs of Paris, this resulted in a number of photographs that have become icons of the French way of life. One of his most known pieces was “Le baiser de l’hôtel de ville (The Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville),” was taken in Paris in 1950. I chose photographer R o b e r t Doisneau because I really like the time he took photos and I also like that they are black and white. I really feel like that black and white captures the raw sense of life. You really get the feeling when you get the bare picture with no color. When you take pictures

with color I feel like it distracts you of the real message in the photo. I choose to recreate the picture of Anne Frague. I really like that there is a sulhouette and that the sun aluminates the edges of her face. He took that picture in 1958 along side with pictures of other young girls in cafes, salons, and walking in Paris.

“A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there - even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.”

- Robert Doisneau

“A photographer who made a picture from a splendid moment, an accidental pose of someone or a beautiful scenery, is the finder of a treaser. “

Imogen Cunningham Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.

by Kate Kramer

- Imogen Cunnigham

mogen Cunningham was born on April 12, 1883 in Portland, Oregon to her father Issac Burns Cunningham. In her youth her father encouraged her to read, and had her attend art lessons every summer once she was in school. At a young age her family moved to Seattle, Washington where she continued to learn the basics of art in classes. She eventually continued her education at the University of Washington in Seattle where she majored in chemistry; her photography professor suggested a scientific major saying that it would help her in the future as she perused a profession in the arts. Throughout her collage years she worked as a secretary for her chemistry professor to help pay her tuition. Her graduating chemistry thesis was titled “The Process of Photograph”, which acted as an inclination towards her eventual pursue of photography. After graduating Cunningham interned alongside “The North American Indian” photographer Edward C Curtis where she learned the techniques of platinum printing. In 1909 she was awarded a scholarship from her alma mater to attend exclusive photography courses at the Technische Hochshule in Dresden, Germany. Upon her return she opened a portrait studio in Seattle where she acted as the only photographer who

lywood stars for their’s and other magazines. Cunningham divorced from Roi and moved to New York upon invitation to work permanently with Vanity Fair. After a short time she moved back to California and began traveling with Dorthea Lange and Paul Taylor to document a lumber co-operative; this was the beginning of her life-long series of street photography. Once she returned home she made a dramatic change and began photographing in color. She contributed to the world of photography dramatically by being one of the original members of Group f.64 and by encouraging a softer and simpler approach to photography. She resided in San Francisco until her death on June 23, 1976 at the age of 93. Cunnigham’s photos were always very simple, which allows for personal interpretations. Her famous botanical shots were always in black and white, with the background being completely black to emphasize the flower. By taking her pictures this way she encourages you to see the complexity and beauty in something as simple as a rose. The black background also helps you to observe all the little details of the botanical that you would not have been able to see before. To achieve this effect, the sun must be behind the photographer so that a faint light is shown on the object; also, the photo must be taken at low light so that the background still remains black. Using this method, she was able to keep the background of her works completely black while still having her emphasis remain bright white and in focus. Her photographs are very calming to the eye and allow people to observe the hidden complexity of the basic things in life.

Pedro Meyer

Pionero de la Fotografía Mexicana...

by: aaron katzman

edro Meyer is best known for “Heresies”, the world’s first simultaneous retrospective. This project had over 60 exhibitions in 17 countries, and contained his entire life’s work, which contained over 350,000 images and documents. “Heresies” was widely celebrated in October 2008. Pedro Meyer was born in Madrid, Spain, in October 6, 1935, but moved to Mexico and became a citizen there at age 7. Before he became a photographer, Meyer had a successful career in business and industry. However, Meyer was interested in photography ever since he was a teenager, and he decided to fully devote himself to it in 1974. Pedro Meyer was awarded the Guggenheim grant in 1987, the Internazionale di Cultura Citta di Anghiari in 1985, and the National Endowment for the Arts in conjunction with Jonathan Green and the California museum of photography in Riverside. Pedro Meyer also was the

first to receive a grant destined to a Web project, which was given to him by the Rockefeller Foundation. He has contributed to photography in multiple ways. He is the founder and president of the Consejo Mexicano de Fotografia (Mexican Council of Photography), the organizer of the first three Latin American Photography colloquiums, the curator, editor, founder, and director of the famous and widely used photography website “zonezero”, and has given hundreds of lectures on photography at museums, festivals, and universities. Some of the academic institutions he has been a guest at include: the University of Colorado at Boulder, Centro de Estudios Fotograficos in Vigo, Spain, and the Arizona Western College, in Yuma, Arizona. Currently, he has work in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musee National D’art Moderne Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the International Center of Photography, and George Eastman House in New York, the California Museum of Photography in Riverside, CA,

the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, Casa de Las Americas in Havana, Cuba, the Centro STudie e Archivo della Comunicazione dell’ Universita in Parma, Italy, and the Comuna di Anghiari, Palazzo Pretorio, also in Italy. An interesting anecdote of Pedro Meyer’s life is that he published the first commercial CD ROM in the world to combine images and sounds, “I Photograph to Remember”. My representation of Pedro Meyer is reflective of his subject matter, and style. Pedro Meyer’s subject matter is often hispanic culture or people because he grew up in Mexico, and traveled all around Latin America. His photos do not display wealthy people, but they have a certain degree of warmth to them that expresses the emotions of the people and places he takes pictures of. He did not usually take photos of the rich and wealthy, but of the common man and woman, the working man, the true people of the nation. My photo tries to emulate these ideas. Pedro Meyer took many photos of people in the middle of or on their way to work in most of his galleries, especially the one called “Mexico”. As I was taking photos of moving cars, I saw a group of hispanic men in their work car, and one of them leaning out the window threw up a peace sign. I believe that my image is taken in the style of Pedro Meyer and reflects the content of something that he would take a photo of.

Robert Frank “Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.”

–Robert Frank

by Brian Coggins

obert Frank, a notable photographer who specializes in American culture remains great due to the way he brought his, thoughts, emotions and viewpoint into the photograph. Frank began as a photographer when he was just a young boy. Growing up he loved photography because it was his relief from his family life. This love for photography turned into an occupation after learning under photographers and graphic designers. Robert Frank’s work includes Parade, Elevator Girl and Trolley. His work demonstrates an emphasis on balance and it stands out due to the way he added emotion and viewpoint to the picture. Frank’s background shows that his influences are from the photographers and

graphic designers, which compelled him to make the images have emotion and perspective. Other interesting detail of Robert Frank’s life is that he is one of America’s most important and persuasive because of his photos that were taken after war. This is interesting because he is not even American but he is considered one of the most influential American photographers. Photographer Robert Frank is best known for his postwar America photos. One of Frank’s pieces is titled Parade, and it is an example of his postwar America style. This piece best represents his body of works because it shows Frank’s style. Robert Frank’s use of natural lighting and subtle processing leave a melancholy impression on the audience because of the expressions on the peoples’ faces and the

contrast between the dark and light part of the image. This work is important because it changes the way the image looks and what it is trying to convey. He contributed to the society by showing what America was like after war through pictures. In my representation of Robert Frank’s work, I chose to take a picture that involved America with capturing the emotion of the person in the photograph. This style emulates his work because of the contrast between light and dark and the way it shows emotion in the photo. I found it exciting to work in the spirit of Robert Frank because of the way he shows feelings and emotion through his work. Overall, I think my work needs to convey a larger message like Frank does in order to capture the essence of emotion and feelings through an image in photography.

Life on the Farm

by Brian Cogins

The beach consists of birds hunting for food, kids playing in water, people excersising with volleyballs and cheerleaders tinkering with flexibility. The beach is a place where so many people of different kinds from different places can come together and enjoy the sun, water and breeze. Here a young girl investigates her curiosity of the ocean with an older sister, wearing a ballet dress. When I was at the beach thousands of birds gathered to catch fish, drawn to the area by the noise of the seals. A former cheerleader, inspired by the ocean vibe, practices her stunts as she reminices her times cheerleading.

In 1942 Hayden Coggins purchased a large amount of land located in La honda, California. This large amount of land turned into a ranch that has housed four generations of coggins’. Over the years the functions of the ranch has changed greatly. It went from a cattle ranch to now a present day place where hay is farmed. The ranch is currently used for getting away from the stresses of Menlo Park and reconnecting with nature. With breath taking views of nature it is almost impossible not to connect with it.Whether it is riding motor cycles or driving tractors their is always something to do on the ranch. It is one of the best places to call my home.

Knocking Out Adversity by Aaron Katzman The East Palo Alto Boxing Club is a non-profit organization that was created to combat violence, gang activity, and other problems youth face in the city of East Palo Alto. The EPA Boxing club helps take youths off the street and gives them a place where they can work out and channel their energy in a positive, healthy way. The EPA Boxing Club currently encounters funding issues as it does not require members to pay, but it is now in need of funds. The club now relies on private donations and the city for funds, but these sources have proven to not be enough. While it encounters problems, there is no doubt about the benefits it offers the youth of the city.

Essays A Simple Pleasure

by Sally Stevens

“Methinks that the moment my legs began to move, my thoughts began to flow.” -Henry David Thoreau In essence, running is a simple sport. All that one really requires is some shoes, and a surface. However, today there are entire industries dedicated to making the latest running watches, energy supplements, and shoes. Whenever I feel overwelmed by these added supplies, I find that it is best to return to the most basic state of running. In this way, without worrying about speed, pace, or distance, I have the opportunity to focus on the joy of running.

The Stereotypical Little Brother

Every year, Downtown Menlo Park holds a Halloween parade. This year, the Hillview and La Entrada Middle School bands led hundreds of children dressed up as their favorite characters down Santa Cruz Avenue to Fremont Park. Once there, the costumed children could make Halloween-themed artwork and were enthralled by a magic show. Finally, they proceeded back down Santa Cruz Avenue to trick-or-treat at local stores and fulfill their craving for sweets.

From the horizons of Fiji to the lakeviews of California the sun is seen from anywhere.

Poeple believe BY RYAN see it as the light that guides their lives. People see it as the warmth to get through the winter. People think that the sun is what is needed to keep our sanity. The suns symbolism is endless and is interpreted any way possible.

Sweet Dreams

Memorable mentors

When things get tough it is easy to forget to reward yourself. Don’t be afraid to take a bite of your sweet dreams. It’s okay to wonder into a dreamland chomp down on all the good in life. Whether it’s dessert, falling in love, or just watching an episode of you favorite TV show, don’t be afraid to indulge. You’ve earned it kiddo.

tudents can often find themselves overloaded with work during the most chaotic times of the year. However, most forget to consider the responsibilities the teachers have to cover. Between explaining a certain concept to a student, discussing a future assignment, setting up the class for the next subject, or even managing the class to quiet down, these mentors have to carry a massive amount of weight on their shoulders.

The finished product of the dream that has become a sweet reality. The Oreos rest their heads to sleep at they lay in a bed of chocolate chip cookie dough.

Golf Culture

by Grant Johnson

PLACE STORY INTRO HERE: Golf isn’t usually equated with the typical athletic sport. Mostly seen being played by older, retired men, golf tends to be given the connotation of ease, a sport that can be played by all. I explored the culture behind the sport as a photographer to see if these theories were true. As a golfer myself, I take pride in the skills required to play golf, and the unofficial etiquette behind it. I found that above the post-round drinking in the club house, was a common dedication to be a better player.

Ingredients To Confection by Daniel Chaiken

Despite cooking being normally seen as merely following a recipe, there is actually a lot of science that goes into it. Enough sugar must be added too sweeten the eggs, but not so much as to break the air bubbles. In addition to adding air, beating the eggs breaks down Hydrogen bonds in the proteins of the eggs. This reaction changes the consistency of the eggs. The ingredients added must be very precise; a small amount of cream of tartar prevents the proteins from re-bonding, while too much would separate the proteins altogether. At this point the ingredients are in a stable consistency that will not revert to its original form. A low heat is used to prevent the sugar from burning.

On the field, bodies collide at ful speed; the body is put under physical and mental stress through the whole game. During practice,The conditions are simulated every day, taxing the body. Football take commitment, hard work, and comradary. Off the field, footbvall consumes just as much time and energy as it does on the field.

HEADLINE

Bullying is a conflic. A lot of students can be afraid of going to school by pretending they’re sick, scared or feel lonely. Most of the time the victims feel like its their fault, so they let it happen. They don’t ask for help, because they might be afraid that thier own parents or teachers blame them for being bullied. or not stand up for themselves. They feel like they don’t have anyone, that could help them. They also feel ashame to ask for help because they think that they will make fun of them. A lot of kids kill eachother because they feel depressed. They have no one to talk to . Their own parents don’t noticed the problem thats going on. Bullie is a problem

The annual Menlo-Atherton Canned Food Drive is a long revered tradition. Begun by Coach Parks in 1999, the first M-A food drive only collected 5,000 cans, and it has only grown since then, last year collecting around 70,000 cans and feeding over 550 families in the M-A community and local area. This year’s goal is 100,000 cans and $10,000 in monetary donations, and the school is currently on track to meet that high bar.

Inside the Mind of the Depressed

by Darya Rostami

Having depression does not simply mean that you are sad, it means that you feel as though you are in a never ending nightmare, one that you want to end so badly that you contemplate ending your own life. The darkness of depression is all consuming, very few experiences dull the constant pain that you are in. You fight with the monsters that are inside of your own head, hoping that they wont win. I chose to arrange my photos like this to show that there may be positives in ones life but when you are depressed, you can only seem to focus on the negatives, the darkness. You put up a front for the people you care about but in the end your fighting a losing battle.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: The girl is in a a position that epitomizes depression, shutting the world out, trying to hold herself together; The scars only signify the persons past and not the clean slate they have in the future; The boy is black to show how he feels ostrizied from the brightness around him; The girl is picking at her nails, one of the many nervous ticks that people do during therapy sessions; The photo of music and my bestfriend show the two things that save me from myself when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling completely alone. The clouds show that even though there is beauty in the photo, your eyes are first drawn to the dark porotion of the cloud just like those who have depression. Finally the pills show that since you are on antidepressants that people assume you are okay evennthough that is not the case.

Together We Can

by Ydalise Jacob-Reyes I cant remember a day i went out into nature without seeing at least one piece of garbage somewhere in between the plants. not only does the garbage cause damage to nature itself ,but it also takes away from the beauty of it.

My mom, Monique Schoonbrood, was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata in 2000. Alopecia Areata is an auto immune disease that triggers white blood cells to attack hair follicules. My mom lost her head hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and all other body hair. Her eyebrows and eyelashes are tattooed and she either wears a wig, scarf, or hat daily. My mom rarely goes out in public without something covering her head. I am really proud of my mom for doing this photoshoot for me. I know she does not think of herself as something beautiful but I think she is beautiful inside and out.

Hidden Habitat

Love Leads the Way

By: Jeremy Manuel

The Hidden Habitat is the Marshlands of Redwood City. It is a beautiful place full of hidden life and overlooked ecosystems. From the vast salt flats to the rolling hills and the twisting streams and rivers. There is life everywhere you look. It is eternal and ever flourishing. There are vasts amounts of life in the marshes. There are ducks, geese, jackrabbits, squirrels, hummingbirds, kingfishers and much much more.

Love surrounds us, but it is a privilege if one can experience authentic and real love. This love will go through all ups and downs, yet it will always stay strong. For George and Marjorie 55 years of this love has offered them the most ideal world. They have had the ability to show their love to their children and grandchildren. It is truly amazing to watch these two together, so it had to be captured. They help each other and are truly one. It was beautiful to see the interaction between these two because they treat one another with respect and care. George and Marjorie define love.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TOP TO BOTTOM The rings that have endured it all Typical morning routine Helping each other at points where the other needs it most Looking back on the life they have had and the life to come They are there for each other in the coldest of times The humor is DEFINITLEY still alive Spreading their love to their grandchildren

Life is Sweet by Jak Tedesco

egendary Cream of downtown Palo Alto serves unique and delcious, cookie-ice cream sandwhiches for only $2.50. The special atmosphere attracts people of all ages and is a large part of the appeal. Since June 2013, Cream has already gained a reputation for being incredibly popular amongst high school students and adults alike. On weekends, the line for a single Cream sandwhich has gone around the block. Despite the line people flock from the surrounding areas for a Cream sandwhich. After visiting Cream it is clear to me how Cream continues to attract people months after its opening.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Trevor Snow and Mrs. Snow in fron of Cream. Trevor watches the unique process of a Cream sandwhich. People walking in front of Cream. Trevor Snow seems to be enjoying his ice cream sandwhich. People walking in front of Cream. Cream in downtown Palo Alto at night.

When in Woodside by Jacob Feiler Think ‘South Peninsula’ and the first images that will come to you are the booming technology industries sprining up in the cities all across the San Francisco Bay Area. But there is one area that has gone, for the most part, untouched by the new era: Woodside. Possibly the first English-speaking settlement in the area, Woodside not only has a rich history, as a center for lumber and wine among other things, but several of the estates built during the 19th and 20th centuries can still be seen today. Even if you think you’ve seen all there is to see once you’ve reached the downtown area, whose buildings bear similarities to the classic Wild West type town, keep going to see just how unique the town is compared to the rest of the Bay Area.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Roberts Market, the primary (and only) grocery store in Woodside; The mare statue gazes from Village Hill upon downtown Woodside; The wooden door of the Woodside Store, built in 1854. After serving as a general store, post office, and dental office, it functions as a museum for the old Woodside artifacts today; The interior of Buck’s Restaurant, filled with all sorts of miscellaneous objects and portraits; The Pioneer Saloon on Whiskey Hill, which frequently features talented musical guests; The Wooside Village Church, opening in 1893, and refurbished a century later

The Sun Sets Aside by Nicolas Chand

From the horizons of Fiji to the lakeviews of California the sun is seen from anywhere. Humans have thought about, observed and even made different sriting of the sun from essays to poemss to undestand its purpose and reason of why it is there. Poeple believe see it as the light that guides their lives. People see it as the warmth to get through the winter. People think that the sun is what is needed to keep our sanity. The suns symbolism is endless and is interpreted any way possible.

Menlo Park: No Place for Night Owls

Alex Thayer Menlo Park, a quiet suburb in the midst of the bursting and expanding economy of Silicon Valley, is lacking compared to the night life of its neighbors. Many Menlo Park residents choose to spend their “going out” time in Palo Alto or San Francisco. Santa Cruz Avenue, downtown is composed mostly of furniture stores and the restaurants that exist are tasty but pricy and close early. Even the outskirts of Menlo Park are lacking hidden gems or pockets of entertainment. Negative aspects of the town are hardly ever discussed, even in campaigns for city council and mayor and the sleepy suburban life continues.

The effects of bullying on the teenage mind.

by Ilya Mednick

Bully victims suffer on a daily basis. More people are bullied than believed. Our school makes an effort to stop this in the form of anti-bullying assemblies, but these assemblies seem to fuel the fire more than douse it. As all this is happening, the victims of bullying stay in their corners, never coming into society because they are simply afraid. The effects of bullying on the teenage mind is devastating.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Bully victim showing the feeling of being alone, student feeling insulted, student with his head on a desk and not paying attention in class, victim grieving over the day’s events, cutting as a result of bullying, victim making the final decision...
