Working on the project we have due this week has made me have a great appreciation for the amount of detail and work that go in to the buildings and monuments around us each day.  I have been to Paris a few times and the city completely captivates me because of the incredible history and architecture the artists display through their work.  Looking at things in black and white gives me the opportunity to see things that I would not notice otherwise due to the distraction of color.  The above pictures are fascinating to look at and let your eyes go where they want to with the different lines and shapes.

“Kodak”

George Eastman was the pioneer for the use of photographic film. He started manufacturing paper film in 1885 and named his first camera the “Kodak” which was for sale initially in 1888.  The camera was preloaded for 100 exposures and then sent back to the factory to be processed and reloaded.  Now days this would seem crazy to wait so long and have to do all that work to get a picture, but back then this was an incredible discovery of how to save real life images on paper forever.

Below is a picture of the Kodak No. 2 Brownie box camera.  It is so fascinating to see how cameras have evolved over time and learn from the pioneers of photography.

    These underwater pictures are beautiful! I love how the pictures are so graceful and make time look like it has stopped for a moment.

    I really love what this photo captures and the story it automatically tells the viewers. The texture and off set of lines and people give the photo alot of character. I like that the photographer went out of his comfort zone of environments and was able to capture this photo which involves people as well.

    I really like the innocence and look of simplicity of this photo. I think that Benari did an excellent job of capturing a simple scene yet putting an incredibly complex spin of creativity on it with the reflection.

    I think the concept of photograms is incredible. You can essential capture anything under light and this method is so simplified and lets the photographer create unique images.

    I think this photo is so unique because everyone looks at it a different way. It represents life in a sense because we all have the option to take whatever outlook on life we choose, positive or negative.
