This first slide show is pretty amazing. I won’t go into detail about it, but basically it’s pictures taken in the same area with a 5-10 year timeframe between them.
This other slide show is from the New York Times, and is a unique view on Obama’s security. Even if you don’t support him, you need to see it.
Congrats to James Roh for the photo of the week.
Ed Barber, 84, takes a break from reminiscing of his past to take a sip from his coffee cup. Currently living in a nursing home in Westerville, Ohio, Barber tells of his childhood, his involvement in World War II, his children, and past marriages. After taking a sip, Barber comments on the fact that he has not had a hot cup of coffee since living in the home, “Always just warm, never hot.”
I recently found out that they are stopping the production of polaroid film. I like to shot film and just play around with different film mediums, and using polaroid cameras was one of those. I guess it was going to happen sooner or later, because the digital camera world is taking over. I’ll just have to stock up on film!
here is a link to another blog about whats happening…

Finally here they are — your personal assignments. This past critique was fun. I hope to do that again next week. Use my guidelines to push yourself. Most of all I am wanting you to push you out of your comfort zone and create awesome images. Come to class with an image you are proud of. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey guys, I heard Parker Steele, a recent graduate, speak the other day about life as a photographer after college. He suggested some cool photographers to check out and I thought I’d pass them along. My favorite is Kareem Black, he has some really cool commercial photos. http://www.kareemblack.com/
also, Stephen Webster has some really unique, kinda off-the-wall images. http://www.hideoutinc.com/hideout/PI/index.html
and, Ben Willmore has some interesting stuff to check out. http://www.digitalphotoandart.com/collections/photographer/ben_willmore/13

After the Week 6 Question, I found myself looking for commercial photographers whose work really caught my attention and inspired me. I found this website and it has portfolios of many famous photographers in the fashion/celebrity industry.For those who are interested in more of the beauty/fashion photography, check out Naomi Kaltman and Hugh Stewart’s websites through this link. They are awesome photographers.
