Annie Leibovitz

            I thought the article was very interesting, I agree with her when she says that women aren't photographed enough. I think that women should just as easily be photographed as men are. I think that this "new" photograph based on women will draw attention to the females and help with the while equal rights situation. Annie has done a marvelous job at portraying women in many ways whether it be them working or just showing the natural features of women.

Devin Allen- Flikr artist

I think Devin Allen is a wonderful photographer. The reasons i think he is a great photographer is because like he said "when you look at my photos, its almost like you travel back in time". The way these photos were taken, and the time at which they were taken makes the images so incredibly strong. Devin Allen took his photos during the Baltimore Riots this past year. These images were taken in black and white giving the images a vintage look. These images look a lot like the photos from the civil rights movement of the 1960's. Devin photos were unbiased, they showed that the police wasn't always violent. I think this is a good way to take photos, from an unbiased point of view. It doesn't try to influence me to lean towards one side and it gives me the full experience of what actually happened. When Devin could of easily portrayed the police to be much worse , especially because he is from Baltimore. The photos showed rebellion, unity, and peace. Very good photographer.

60 minutes, Rolling Stone

The photo I liked the most was the one of Tupac Shakur. I liked this photo because well for one hes one of my favorite artists, and secondly because the photographer took these pictures expecting it to be the cover of the magazine and it didn't even make the cover when the picture was first released. The photo was put onto the cover when Tupac died. I like how the photographer said that Tupac was very into taking pictures. The picture broke the rule of thirds but i thought it was a very well taken photo is made him literally the center of attention.

photo of elections

One picture I really liked a lot was the photo of the empty rows of chairs prior to a Donald
Trump rally. I found this image quite comical and the picture is very well taken with the single poster on the ground and no one in the seats. The black and white really exaggerates the photo think.
Another photo I really liked was the photo of Bernie Sanders during a rally on Jan. 31. This photos composition is fantastic. The way the light protrudes around Bernie makes the photo very powerful.
Another photo I liked was the photo of the news papers. I liked this photo because while the top papers were blurred the bottom papers weren't and it really made my eyes wander over the paper. It was very well taken.
