Web Assignment #4

1. Who was Alfred Stieglitz and why is he noteworthy in the history of photography?
     Alfred Stieglitz was a famous American photographer known for his impact on photography as an art form. He spent a ton of time and labor into his photographs to make them perfect and tried to capture photos in an artistic and appealing way. 

2. Choose a photograph he made, upload it to your blog, and explain why you chose it as your favorite by him             
                        .
      I really liked this photo of his because of the dark silhouette of the man and his contrast with the white horse. The man almost looks like a shadow that's lost it's way and made friends with a horse. Maybe they were both looking for somebody.. I don't know, that's what I made their stories as.. 

3. With what famous painter was he in a relationship? Who was she?  Upload a painting by her that you like.
    Alfred Stieglitz was in a relationship with painter Georgia O'Keeffe. She took many pictures in New York. 
                              
I really thought this picture was beautiful because of the kind of contradicting flower and cow skull. Skulls are ominous and represent death, yet is lightly decorated with a delicate flower that I think symbolizes life and beauty. The rolling hills and bellowing clouds make me think of deep western country, freedom and peace.

Tilt Shift

          Something I learned from this assignment is that not only do you have to be at the right angle, but also from a far enough distance to create a tilt shift. It was frustrating when I'd have a super good photo but wouldn't turn out as well at a tilt shift because it wasn't far enough away. It was exciting though, to take the pictures from high above and get a perspective you wouldn't normally observe from. I also learned that despite taking all of these photos with my iphone that I got some really amazing photos.. I also learned how to work my focus, which probably could have come in handy a while ago, guess I can do it from now on. I really enjoyed doing this project and I'm going to try some more on my own in the future.

Young Life Camp, hiked a mountain and jumped! Incredible feeling in that moment, accomplishing getting to the top and looking down at the tiny earth below us. Great experience, even more amazing people to share it with..

Taken at Beaver's game! Love this picture of the band on the field.

 They won! A coincidence? I think not!

Taken at a Justin Bieber concert of people exiting below. 

 Little girls and security carpeted the arena, making it difficult to get anywhere, but got a fantastic picture out of it.

 Another concert picture, my favorite part is the big spotlight nearly coming at you. Makes me feel like I could be transported into the miniature world..  Maybe if I look close enough....

And last the final concert photo! I believe he was singing never say never... I love the bright purplish, pink stage against the dark black/blue audience; makes it pop.

 1. What is a Brownie Camera?

  A Brownie Camera is an inexpensive box camera that introduced the idea of snapshot.

  2. Who invented it, and when?

  The Brownie Camera was invented by Eastman Kodak in the year 1900. 

  3. How did it change society, and of course, the photography world?

  It introduced the idea of snapshot, the idea that anyone could use cameras and that a person didn't need a big, expensive camera to get quality photos. I believe it opened the world to the idea of a camera as a household product. More photos could be taken by more people, which leads to much more photography and developments in an everyday consumer camera. With a 

  simple camera design, photography could be expanded to the popular, modern world.
