they did a kind of 40's feel to it, and i like how it looks almost in motion, it really caugfht the movement of the train leaving

This is showing how people even today still try and do things to remember September 11, they put a flag under it and had candles spell out 9/11.

This image is trying to show the "5 second rule" and its depicting it upon the clock and the food on the floor.

This is trying to basicly show how a lot of people dont know what to feed a newborn baby. They cant eat certain things because their body's arent ready for some food, so its just poking fun at it.

Concepts

Zone focus- when you pick one area and stay there and focus on there until you get what your looking for.

Shutter speed- how long the picture is exposed to sunlight.

Panning- when you have the shutter speed really low and you follow the subject as it moves to make sure the subject is n focus and nothing else really.

Magazine Covers

Early Magazine covers:

at first they didnt even put picture on the covers, they would just put the title and an index, but later they started to do more book type covers with a plan picture and the title. Later they started to more decorated covers, with more detail's and more symbolism for what the magazine is about.

Poster Covers:

They would take a simple picture by itsself and the title above or on the picture. This became the "main" way to make a magazine cover and everybody started to do them as time went on. They say that most of the best covers ever made were poster covers.

Pictures Married to Type:

That is when they would put a little sample of what some of the storys were about on the front cover to get more readers attention. They would put a model on the front, and little lines of words with some of the content that's inside.

In The Forrest of Words:

This is when you have a picte and ontop and around the picture are a lot of diffrent lines from the storys in the magazines. They started doing them around the 1930's and still can be used today. Its not exactly the most "artistic" way, but its still unique in some ways.

Fashion Ethics

They changed Her face size, how big her eyes are, her nose, eye color,


In your opinion, explain if you think it is ethically ok to change a person's appearance like this in a photo.
I dont believe that it is right, because they are changing the perception of beuty, which makes girls, and boys for that matter, have diffrenet views on whats right or not, like how skinny they make those girls look in magazines n stuff like that.

Under what circumstances is it worse than others?
to show how a person is doin in a magazine and stuff like that.

What types of changes are ok, and what aren't?
like scratches, bluryness, lighting, and cropping are ok

Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
fashion is to show what people are wearing, and photojournalism has an actual story behind it, and has a purpose.
What relationship does each have to reality, and how does this affect the ethics of each.
fashion is a reality because it's showing what people are wearing at that moment in time, and photojournalism is to show what people are doing at that moment in time

Photojournalism Ethics

Should a photojournalists ethics be absolute or situational? Why?
I think it should situational, because not all things are going to be excepted in some situations, aso you cant just set an ethic because some people make take it personaly, or might not even care.

Can a photo really capture truth? Why or why not?
it can, but that's not a everyday thing. its true that some people just can't handle the truth, and in return you cant jus put it out there like that.

What decisions have you made as a photographer that "edit" reality? Explain.
well it's not always good to show the "bad side" of something, but sometime you just have to, so you have to capture that in a certain way.

Why is it important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards?
so we know what would be considered ok in situations such as 9/11 or just a simple party thrown by the richest man in america, ya know?

baily the elephant/polarbear

Bailey the bear goes threw everyday life diffrent then what you would think.
He was raised by elephants and therefore thinks he's an elephant! when he was about a year old he found this tube(which they used to dispence food to him) tore it off the wall, and put it over his mouth so he could "fit in" with his faimly.

becuase of the high F stop, not all of the picture was in focus, the two players on the bottom are a little unfocused.... but because of the high shutter speed he was able to catch the other player basicly flying over them
