This photograph was taken by Arnfinn Lie, her photo's are amazing. She has taken a lot of landscape shots. This particular shot was taken in Norway, a place that I would now like to visit. check her out!

This picture was taken in tibet. Throughought this semester i have began looking at images differently. A lot of places that I would never have stopped to take the time to look at, now inspire me to go to new places, or even just stop and take a look around.

This picture caught my eye. I really like the effect and colors added on the train. The artist said that the image was Shot with a Canon EOS 60D, and the colors were edited in through Photoshop. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to capture images and edit them in photoshop, like in this photo.

Jeff Weddell

This photograph was taken by Jeff Weddell, he is a photographer who likes to take pictures of tattoo's. He has been taking pictures since the age of six and has various accomplishments like being published in magazines across the world!

Adam Roberts

This photograph Was taken by a photographer named Adam Roberts. Throughout this semester we have been working on getting our lighting right when developing our photos. I feel like this picture was taken perfectly with the angle and amount of light given at the top of the photo

STROBES

In these past few weeks I've taken pictures with amazing lights, strobe lights. One thing that has always fascinated me about these lights is that they can capture crazy pictures when they're combined with a bullet. The picture is lit with strobe lighting and it's a paintball, filled with orange paint...as the bullet is going through the ball the picture is taken and it's fast action caught in a photograph. I don't have a gun to shoot out stuff or things to blow up but if I did and I could capture something like this...I'd do it.

hOcKnEy

My final project is loosely based on works by David Hockney.
I took portraits (which is what I plan on doing for work) and made them into "Hockney-esque" prints. They took a long time to make but they were so much fun to shoot, I can't to print this project and show it to the class. I'm happy with the way they turned out and I think for the first time I took someone else's idea and made it my own.

Creepy old lady

On my way to Navy Pier, I stopped by an art gallery, I was super intrigued when I saw an old lady looking out the gallery window. I thought she was a real live person when I couldn't stop staring at her I had to go inside and find out once and for all if she was indeed a live person. Finally getting inside, I came to find that she was in fact not a real woman! She was so real looking that it took my brain a very long time to process she didn't have a pulse. I think this old lady is incredibly real looking and I'm not sure what I would've done if she really was real.
I've attached the link to the gallery she is in, enjoy!

Hello

Welcome to the blog

So... Are we done then? or are there more posts coming?

Longest Pinhole Exposure

It was captured by the German artist Michael Wesely, who worked with New York's Museum of Modern Art to photograph the destruction (and subsequent construction) of their building. The shots are ever so ghostly. <3

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll is known mainly for his book Alice in Wonderland. He was an amateur photographer as well. He did landscapes, architecture and portraits. Most of the portraits were of little girls either nude or wearing little to no clothing. He was frowned upon by those around him. The little girl in the picture, is Alice. Carroll was in love with her and even asked to marry her. Alice's family hated him and thus to apologize wrote Alice in wonderland. She was only 5 when they met.

After 17 years the photographer got to meet up with the Afghan girl once more. Her name is Sharbat Gula and you can read more about her here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2002/04/afghan-girl/index-text

It's a really amazing story. She's been through a lot since the photograph was taken and you can see it in here face, here face is sunken in and her skin looks rough from wind and sand.

im sorry.. i like nudes

The World's Top Photographers: Nudes: And the Stories Behind Their Greatest Images (The World's Top Photographers) (Hardcover)
By: Anthony LaSacala (Author)

I want to get this book! Its 35 dollars.

For anyone who admires the human form, The World's Top Photographers: Nudes presents a stunning collection of photography.

The naked body is perhaps the most popular subject in the history of photography. This book features the work of such eminent practitioners as Bob Carlos Clarke, Bettina Rheims, Ralph Gibson, David Penprase and Kenro Izu, alongside their personal anecdotes and professional tips and secrets.
Nudes will appeal both to the professional and to the amateur photographer who wishes to learn from the best in the field, to celebrity buffs and glossy coffee table literature collectors, as well as to the many satisfied readers of the previous three titles in the series, Landscape, and Wildlife, both by Terry Hope, and Portraits by Fergus Greer.

Daguerreotype was number one on "10 Most Expensive Digital Cameras Ever Made",

As far as film cameras is concerned, the most expensive one is the oldest camera in the world made in 1839 by a French master Susse Freres. In 2007 it was sold for $800.000. Of course, it’s not very comfortable to take such a gadget to a social gathering, but the fact that someone paid almost a million dollars for it…

Louie Palu

I came across the work of Louie Palu on the list of Critical mass Finalists HERE. There are many great artists but this one struck me because many of the images reming me of 911. I hope Jen see's this, it reminds me of drawings she has done in the past.

under water

I like the feeling of this under water camera. i give props to any photographer that is willing to do underwater work. the face and body are a lot harder to control under water which mean harder to get the right shot. i would LOVE to be able to do this.

False Flesh

So going along with my latest post is yet ANOTHER reason why you should NOT believe what you see on the internet! This software takes a regular picture of a person (you) and gives you what looks like your "birthday suit" I'm not sure if this is actually convincing to the naked eye (pun) but with the way technology and photoshop has advanced, I wouldn't be surprised if people actually believe it. The picture above is the ad for this False Flesh thing. Apparently lots of people have already used it (for wrong reasons, of course) and have come up with some very great results. So next time you're on facebook or check your e-mail and you see yourself or someone you know half naked...they might not be, then again...

Viewer beware.
