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.
