Blue Iceberg

This photograph was taken by Maria Stenzel near Candlemas Island in the South Sandwich Islands. I like this photo because of the color of the icebergs and how they contrast to the sky above them and also to the water below them. I like how the photographer didn't zoom in all the way on just the iceberg so the viewer could see the contrasting colors. I also like the penguins, because they're awesome.

Married Couple

This photograph was taken by Elliott Erwitt in 1955. I like this photograph because of the frame. The car door and the window of the car frame the couple kissing. I like how the photographer used angles to get the perfect shot through the window and the newly weds. I also like how the car door is out of focus so it puts more emphasis on the couple kissing.

Midtown Manhattan

This photograph was taken by Thomas Michael Alleman in December of 2004. I like this photograph because of the reflection of the sign on the hood of the Mercedes. The car is used as a mirror to show the "bright lights" of the New York. I also like how the people in the background are blurred like they are in motion but the car is not blurred so it loooks like the car is not wrapped up in the fast speed of normalcy. I also like how the picture is in black and white so the color does not distract the viewer from the focus of the photograph.

This photograph was taken by Kathryn Swihart in 2009. I like this photo because of the white smoke on the black background. Since the background is black, it bring the smoke to life and the smoke becomes the focus of the picture. I also like how the smoke is changing form from the match into the air. This is a very cool picture that shows the mystery of randomness of smoke.

Fitzgerald Perserve

This photograph was taken by Diane Kaye. I really like this pictuer because of the light shining through the trees. The photographer placed the camera perfect in order to show the light coming down from through the trees. I also like how the picture is in black and white so the loght rays show up better and are the center of attention

Frank Gehry’s Schnabel house



This photograph was taken by Tim Street-Porter on March 9, 2010. I like this picture because of the colors. They are very vibrant and I like how the sky changes blues from top to bottom. The shadows are also very cool. I like how he shadows of the trees on the side of the wall are shown but the actual trees are not. I also like the shadows on the globe and white building on the right.

Wyre Wreck

This photograph was taken by David J. Nightingale in 2003. I really like this photo because of its color. The photographer used the light to make different colors in his photo. The orange varies throughout the picture with the brightness and darkness. I also like how vibrant the color is beacuse it just invites the viewer into the picture. I really like the clarity of this photo and how you can see even the cracks in the ground. But most importantly, I just enjoy the wonderful beauty of the photograph.

City Lights: Paris & Rome

This photograph was taken by Sil Azevedo. It is an interesting picture of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. I like how the photographer is right under the tower and shoots up toward the top of the tower. I also like how he places himself mmore towards one side of the tower, so the photographer gets a leg of the tower and also the more renowned top of the tower. The perspective and angle of this photograph is amazing and it creates a sense of how large and great this piece of architecture is.
