GREAT BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHERS

CARLETON WATKINS

JOHN GUTMANN

ROBERT ADAMS

CONTEST PREVIEW SHOW AND TELL

The angle of the photo makes the photo to me. the way the mysterious guy in the background is just standing there the lighting is like there is a cloud over the sun its dim. it gives the photo a  killer feeling.

MARLBORO MARINE

The most powerful image to me is  the one where he is in his marine suit  and is all dirty and leaning against the wall. It tell you a story it  lets you no whats going on over the how bad things are getting. the whole thing was pretty powerful to me but i think it really shows you what so much war and violence can do to you. the audio really made the slide show more emotional and powerful because u got to here his input on how he felt and what he was going through. it tell a story because it starts from the begining and works its way into what his problems were.

FILLING THE FRAME

I like this one because the whole picture has something. nothing is really blank. there are only people on the right side of the picture but there is still chairs and music stands on the other so its still balanced.

ACTION AND EMOTION

I like this because its got action but it so simple. you got a picture where a guy is welding but you are looking from the opposite point view. and the subject is in the back but really noticable.

THE STORY

THE STORY

it tells a story and makes u think because u cant see anything but there feet. I think this is a story about a band who just got the gig of there life and they are playing in front of the a billion people. and they are touring with escape the fate.
