Critique of Silver List Photographers
Rafael Soldi
In his work I noticed that he has portraits of people, but their eyes are closed. The pictures are black and white. As I continue to look at his work, I notice that in all the pictures the subject looks the same. The website looks very neat, and I like how everything matches up for example the theme stays the same through all of it.

Steph Foster
I noticed as you look at her website there is a lot of images related to the system, the criminal system. To me her pictures are showing us that they portray the system and the people in it bad but don’t give them any justice. Her website is very organized and makes a point about the system.

why is photography so important
Photography is important because it opens the eyes of people and lets them see the world in different views. Photography is a form of art. Photography is used to tell a story and shows a part of someone’s life. Photography is also something you learn, you pick up a camera you learn how to shoot a photo then edit it. you can also start to travel and take more pictures.
Photography is images that capture the moment. Photography is a hobby, a skill. I think photography is a way to express how you are feeling. you can spread awareness through photography and touch people with it.
Your Favorite Photo from 100 Most Influential List
This photo is my favorite photo. This photo was taken July 22, 1975. It is called “Fire Escape Collapse,” There was a fire on Marlborough Street. In the picture is the mom and a child. They were stuck on the fifth floor of the building. The women fell down crushing the floor and died but she saved her god daughter. The god daughter fell on top of the women.
This picture is very strong and you can see that there is fear on their faces. You see he smoke coming out of the window and the fire escape is falling as well as the women and child.
The Canon Lens Experience
Randy Kerr is a travel photographer. Travel photography is where you capture landscape and sceneries. When Kerr is going to travel he looks up the place he is going to online to get a sense of the place. He then brainstorms ideas for different pictures. To prepare for the travel and to take pictures he travels with a Canon EOS 5D Mark. Kerr travels around the world and takes pictures of beautiful places. He once took long trip with barley any clothes but he did not care because he just wanted to take pictures.
This inspired me because I like taking pictures of landscapes and I like to go out to different places just to look at the scenery.

Broad Museum Collection: Image Critique
I like this piece of art work because the way it is edited. I like how its the face then his chest and arms, then the feet. I think that this picture is a little different and that’s what makes it really unique.
