Ansel Adams AEvans 100 Ansel Adams was born February 20, 1902 in San Francisco, California. At the age of 14, Adams was given a “Kodak Box Brownie” (a simple, inexpensive camera) when his family took a vacation to Yosemite National Park. The introduction to photography gave him the ability to record the beautiful sights of the park, and he continued to do so for the remainder of his life. After being torn between becoming a pianist or a photographer, Adams decided to become a professional photographer in 1930. After exposure to similar photographs, Adams’ photography style tended to be realistic and pure. He, with fellow photographers, created an exhibition of simplistic, sharply focused grayscale photographs, unlike the dramatic, unrealistic photos of the time. Other photographers felt that political and social problems warranted more importance for photography, such as the depression and the dust bowl, but Adams felt the character of the American wild needed to be preserved. His ideas were not widely accepted until the next generation; despite the criticism, he continued his passion. Adams photographed mundane items for catalogs in order to pay the bills and leave him free to pursue his love of photographing the American West. He photographed in the Sierra Nevada Mountains; everything from the mountains, canyons, lakes and clouds. Adams also contributed to the field of documentary photography, though he never became a prominent figure in that field. His most influential contribution to documentary photography was his commission to photograph the lives of the Nisei living in the Manzanar War Relocation Camp. He published “Born Free and Equal” with all of these photographs, but the war torn nation didn’t want to view the Japanese as anything but the enemy. After 1950, Adams produced few noteworthy photographs; rather he edited photography books of his own work and revisited his old pictures. Adams died at the age of 82 from a heart attack on April 22, 1984.

Joel Meyeorwitz by Mason Thomas 95 Joel Meyerowitz, one of the world’s first color photographers, was an innovator in the field of art. From a 35mm camera with black and white film in his earlier years came a man using modern technology in his photos only 4 years later. His was born in the Bronx, New York City, 1938. 21 years later after high school, Joel, in 1959, graduated from Ohio State majoring in painting and medical illustration. His legacy officially began in 1962, when he first started using color in his photographs. He, Stephen Shore and William Eggleston were the first photographers to use color exclusively; soon to be shown worldwide. Their work was published in Europe and America, and influenced German photographers the most. His most famous picture, titled “New York City, 1963” was taken only four years later. (This would later be on the cover of __Taking Back Sunday’s__ third studio album.) In the early 70’s, he taught his first color course at Cooper Union where many of today’s renowned color photographers studied with him. By 1976, Joel was the innovator of “Large format color photography”. This really got his name in circulation, making him a media icon. Joel Meyeorwitz, 72 now, is currently living in New York City as he always has. He is the author of 16 books; his techniques are expressed (as well as his works) in each one. Meyerowitz has published a photographic archive of the [|September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center], and was the only photographer allowed unrestricted access to [|ground zero] immediately following the attack. A number of these images have since been made into a book, [|Aftermath: World Trade Center Archive], published by [|Phaidon Press]. He will always be Americas premier color photographer, and his work continues to inspire aspiring artists. His work has been depicted in many magazines, as well as museums throughout New York City. I chose Joel Meyerowitz because he captures the realism and beauty in urban areas, such as New York City. I very much like that he is an innovator in color, he was walking on untrodden ground. His work was the first to be depicted in color across the board; and i find that very respectable. Most people can't see the artistic value of nature in very urban areas. I like his work because he does just that; and does it well. He tends to use different angles, getting the fullest photo he can. I think i'll try to use this to my advantage.

Annie Leibovitz by KReise Lots of spelling error 85



Annie Leibovitz was born in Waterbury, Connecticut on October 2, 1949 and is still alive to this day. Annie Leibovitz was inspired with the arts when she was in high school. She began to write and play music. She went to the San Francisco Art Institute to study painting. However, her sophomore year of college, she went to Japan with her mother during the summer and that’s when she realized she had a passion for photography. At still a young age, she experienced various jobs such as a stint on a kibbutz in Israel in 1969. In 1970, she returned to the United States where she started her career as a staff photographer, working for the new magazine called Rolling Stone. That’s when her career truly launched.

Annie Leibovitz created unique and very different photographs. Annie became the first female chief photographer for Rolling Stone. People say that Leibovitz’s style is what helped define the look for Rolling Stone. Some of Annie’s most important contribution to photography was when she had a photo shoot with the legendary singer John Lennon. She convinced Lennon to remove his clothes and take a picture with him curled up next to his wife, Yoko. Annie Leibovitz was the last photographer to capture a photo of Lennon before he was shot and killed only five hours after their photo shoot together.

Annie Leibovitz has very different taste in photography. I like how her photos are of people, not just boring objects. Her photos contain awkward poses, strange backgrounds and random things and that’s what I love. Her pictures aren’t just normal and recognized. Instead, they are abnormal, strange and weird. What I dislike is how most of her pictures are in color. I would prefer using black and white pictures. She uses some photos in black and white but most of them are in color. I think black and white is more unique and appealing. All photographers have different opinions for their work, and for Annie Leibovitz, it was to use color and people.

 * Garry Winogrand Photo from [] ||

=Garry Winogrand Photography= ==[[#Garry Winogrand Photography-Garry Winogrand was born in New York City in 1928 and died in 1984. Winogrand was a photographer who used the city as his focus. He spent most of his life hunting down his fellow citizens, watching, looking, and photographing; thousands upon thousands of photographs. He also made pictures at museum openings, at the zoo, at airports and rodeos, but it was the streets of Manhatten which provided the central metaphor of his work. Winogrand's word defined the city of New York in the 1960s. He was large, energetic, voyeuristic, and obsessively curious about the world around him which made him a successful street photographer. The formal turbulence of his images with their dynamic tilted viewpoints, their grainy immediacy, their frenetic crowds and their temporarily isolated strangers, matches the political turbulence of the Vietnam years and provided a defining portrait of a society caught in motion. Influenced by Robert Frank, Winogrand used a wide angle lens with a handheld camera and shot from an intimate distance. This enabled him to incorporate more of his subjects, and gave his images an unfamiliar, compositional complexity. The medium of still photography he described as "the illusion of a literal description of how a camera saw a piece of time and space". His work depics the broad canvas of American society, with its diverse classes, creeds and races jostling on the street. One of Winogrands famous exhibitions was at the Museum of Modern Art in 1963. He was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship Award in Photography three times, and showed his work extensively throughout the United States. When he died in 1984, the Museum of Modern Art, held a major retrospective of his work four years later in 1988. Things about the photography of Garry Winogrand that I like is the depictions of the city he gives you. New York City has many faces and I feel like Winogrand uncovered all those faces. He was a street photographer who used a hand held camera and took his photos in black and white. Due to the time period photos could only be taken in black and white. That is the only thing about his photography that I don't like. I understand it was impossible to take color photos during this time period but color photography is what appeals to me. Other than that I have no complaints and I understand that all photographers use different methods with different mental outlooks. Uniqueness is a crucial part of photography and I will respect that fact.]]Garry Winogrand was born in New York City in 1928 and died in 1984.

 * Dorothea Lange**
 * By: AHughes 98**



Dorothea Lange, an amazing photographer, lived during 1895 to 1965 and was born in Hoboken, New Jersey. While she was a little girl, she use to skip boring classes in school and decided to just walk outside through the neighborhood and observe people and the things around her. Her father one day decided to walk out on the family, so she never had a father figure for most of her childhood and she became ill with polio when she was seven. However, throughout those years she was alive, she was able to take some great photos of real situations with real people. Her photos created an awareness among the other people, that what she photographed is other people's real lives. She made a huge contribution to the history of photography; therefore, many people are familiar with her great works of art.

Dorothea Lange is known for photographing depressing photos with rough places and people in them. During the Great Depression, she documented farm families, and migrant workers. Some of these photos were eye openers to some people to show how bad the economy was and was going to get. Also, she documented the change on the home front after the war. For example, she photographed Japanese neighborhoods, processing centers and camp facilities after Pearl Harbor. During the Dust Bowl era, a time of when many families migrated west in search of work, Dorothea Lange photographed a beautiful portrait of a lady and her child. The lady looks as if she is in agony and the surroundings around her are very dirty. This portrait portrayed to people that the suffering of the people are getting worse and worse. She photographed the bad working conditions that some people had to work in, the housing shortages, strikes, concentration camps and of some Native Americans. The housing shortages caused many people to work in shifts and to sleep in shifts as well. Dorothea Lange's photography mostly contained people and made a big impact throughout the history of photography and with people too.

Dorothea Lange's photos are very different from one another, but then again very similar. The thing I like about her photographs are that they are all mostly black and white. She has a wide range of values in most of her photos that she has taken. Also, her photos contain people in them, making them not boring to look at in my opinion. This helps me figure out what the photographer is trying to say in the photo, as if they are mad, happy, rich or poor. I can use some of the ideas taken from Dorothea's photos and intertwine them into my work, like having people and their expressions part of my photos. Also to fully grasp the ideas from Dorothea Lange's photos, I can simply change the photo into black and white. Every photographer has their different ideas about photography and making the picture look it's best; therefore, if people learning about these photographers learn and use their techniques, the next decade will have some new ideas to learn from as well. Dorothea Lange's unique ideas about photography clearly made a huge and lasting impact to the history of photography.

Extra Photographs from Dorothea Lange too:

Anne Geddes By, Jessica Muir 98



<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Anne was born in Queensland, Australia, on September 13, 1956, the third daughter in the family. Raised on a vast 26,000-acre beef cattle property in North Queensland, Australia, Anne and her four sisters were true country kids. They spent their time horseback riding, mustering cattle, and swimming in flooded creek beds during the wet season. At eleven or twelve years of age, she would drive the Land Rover slowly through parched paddocks in the dry season, with her sisters standing on the back, dropping hay for the cattle. Anne has a distinct memory of standing in the family’s front garden when she was seven or eight years old. It was a sunny day, very hot, and her mother was hanging the laundry on their clothesline. Anne told her mother that there was something she needed to do, and her mother casually replied that she should run off and play, but Anne said, “That’s not what I mean.” It was a moment of absolute clarity for Anne, a premonition of the deeply felt belief that would become her passion and life’s work. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Anne’s photo’s show babies when they are either just born or throughout their young years. Their ages average from new borns to a year old. Anne loves to take the pictures of the babies with other objects in with it. She uses other humans holding the baby or she puts the baby on other stable objects like, flower pots, tables, etc. she also likes to put the babies in costumes like flowers, animals or other unusual outfits. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">The thing Anne does with the babies is what gets me to like her photos. she shows you that the babies extractions can not only mean loving and care but also can show more of the babies personality and happiness. Anne also does her own work, comes up with the ideas herself and she takes her time with it. Anne’s pictures vary from black and white and color. I love either one, they both show the expression and emotions from the baby.

Margaret Bourke-White By: MVerrillo 100

Margaret Bourke-White was born on June 14th, 1904 in The Bronx, New York and passed away August 27th, 1971 in Connecticut. She became interested in photography while studying at Cornell University where she earned a degree in 1927. After studying photography at another school; Columbia University she decided to go ahead and open her own studio where she specialized in architectural photography. As she opened her studio she developed new skills and techniques that would help her in the future She had been intrigued by photography as a young girl because her father loved to take pictures and exposed her to it.

Margaret Bourke-White was one of the first emerging women to be working in this newly field of photojournalism, and was the first female to be hired as such. She was the first photographer for Fortune magazine, in 1929. In 1930, she was the first western photographer allowed in the Soviet Union. She also covered the Korean War where she’d taken her best photograph ever; so she thought. In 1952, it was discovered that she had Parkinson’s Disease, with this she could no longer take photographs, instead she spent eight years writing her autobiography.

I like that Margaret Bourke-White took pictures of things that revolved around her life and things that she’d seen or done. Her pictures are mostly of other people or herself; she liked to take pictures of other people. She liked to take self portrait photographs. Her pictures focused on important events going on in life and I think that people should focus on those things when taking pictures.



**<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Andy Goldsworthy ** <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">By: Corrina Petit100

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Andy Goldsworthy, born July 26, 1956, is a British artistic photographer. Unlike many, he adds a step to photography, sculpting and architecture. He takes the objects in nature that are seen in our everyday lives and makes them become so artistic it makes one curious. How does he do what he does? Everything is with such perfection that you cannot comprehend how Goldsworthy is able to make such normal things abstract. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Goldsworthy is a skilled photographer. He studied fine arts in many colleges and is now a professor-at-large at Cornell University. His first award was in 1979, the North West Arts Award. In following years, he earned many others including the Yorkshire Arts Award, Northern Arts Award, Scottish Arts Council Award, Northern Electricity Arts Award, and was also selected to be Order of the British Empire in 2000. The awards allowed him to show off his artistic style. He once quoted "I find some of my new works disturbing, just as I find nature as a whole disturbing. The landscape is often perceived as pastoral, pretty, beautiful – something to be enjoyed as a backdrop to your weekend before going back to the nitty-gritty of urban life. But anybody who works the land knows it's not like that. Nature can be harsh – difficult and brutal, as well as beautiful. You couldn't walk five minutes from here without coming across something that is dead or decaying.” ([]) His technique for photography is very unique. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I love the way Goldsworthy changes his surroundings to make his picture look almost unreal. He is able to make such little things, such as rocks, flowers, or leaves, be rearranged to form shapes and patterns that look natural. His photos are very abstract and colorful; in some he will even make objects to draw your eye to a certain part of the picture. While many photographers may prefer to capture people and chaos, Andy Goldsworthy incarcerates the beauty of nature. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

**__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Lewis Wikes Hine __** **__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">﻿ __**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">By Amanda Beck 95

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Lewis Hine lived from September 26th, 1874 to November 3rd, 1940. He was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Before deciding to become a photographer he studied sociology. He also worked at the ethical culture school. At first, he used his camera to take photographs for use in his teaching. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Hine soon found his cameras real purpose. He started to photograph and expose the poverty in New York. He photographed the poverty especially of immigrants on Ellis Island. He was a teacher, so he was very much against child labor. He photographed the horrors of what child labor truly was. Hine helped expose the problems of the cities at the time. Ironically, Hine tried to do away with poverty but ended up dyeing in poverty himself. Despite this, his work helped lead to many labor reforms by opening the eyes of people who didn’t know this was going on. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Hine was great at what he did. His photographs were probably the best quality of the time period. He took photos that captured what was actually going on. This was good because it captured the effect Hine was looking for. The only bad thing is that a lot of his work is quite depressing.



__<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">Edward Weston __ <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">By: Taylor Gibbons 98

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Edward Weston an incredible artist was born in 1886 and died in 1958. He was born in Highland park, Illinois but was raised in Chicago. In the year of 1902 his father had given him his first camera, a Bulls-Eye #2. He would go to the Chicago Park and take photos of the landscaping and he soon traveled to California in 1906 where he was a door to door portrait photographer. Then two years later he attended the Illinois College of photography till 1911. He soon operated his own portrait studio in the same year he graduated from Illinois and had his business till 1922 in Tropico, California. He then went to New York City where he met many other photographers. This journey to the NYC was a turning point in Weston’s life.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Weston inspired me to learn about him from his own inspiration of photography. He once said “the camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it is polished steel or palpitating flesh.” This statement describes just what his style of photography was too. It was natural form close ups, nudes, and landscapes. He was also inspired by his move to Mexico with his apprentice along as lover who enjoyed making portraits of nude studies. But he soon returned to California and carried on with his photography by opening a studio with his own son. He took more landscaping photos which made me fall in love with his work. The view of each photo along with great details of close ups shown in the picture makes it clear that there is some sort of message in his work whether it was or wasn’t intended. Also his nude work is amazing which made me like him as a photographer more because, it shows how the natural human body is beautiful in his eyes along with my own.

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> E <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif';">dward’s work taught me how a close up image can express so much more than a regular photo of a sea or even a lake as shown in one of his photo above. His work made him an easy choice to research because his work spoke to me as a young photographer and artist. His work makes me want to get up and try to make something out of myself. His technique of taking pictures isn’t strange but unique and one of a kind. He contributed to art by having 300 photos at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1946. Also, he the first recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship for Photography in 1937. Edward Weston had accomplished a lot in his life before he died from Parkinson's disease in 1958. Weston’s work as a photographer expressed so much with his technique and enjoyment of photography which all started with his first camera. Edward Weston is very much admired.

Henri Cartier-Bresson By: Racheal Hoffman 98

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">Henri Cartier-Bresson was born in Normandy on August 22, 1908. He was a French Photographer. He used a 35mm camera for most of the pictures he took. He takes pictures of human life. In addition, how life cannot always be pretty, but in every second it can be interesting. Unfortunately, Henri Cartier-Bresson died in France in August of 2004. But his amazing pictures will always be remembered. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Over the last half century, Henri Cartier-Bresson has photographed some of the most famous people of the 20th century. These pictures were able to tell a story. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Henri Cartier-Bresson was known for his ability to captured in a photograph, a simple gesture, chance meeting, or mundane setting that could convey great beauty or tragedy or humor. He was influenced by the contemporary movement known as surrealism, which encouraged artists and writers to explore the meaning that lay hidden below the surface of everyday life. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">I like how it looks like a simple picture but you cannot take your eye off the image. Cartier-Bresson took pictures on how this world has so many different emotions and different people. There is a lot detail in the picture. I dislike how it is only about people and not the nature. He needed to do more photos of nature.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">Diane Arbus <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">1923-1971 <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">By: Cailin M. Downey 98 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Diane Arbus was born in New York, New York to a wealthy Jewish family in 1923 and was well taken care of with two other siblings. While being well supported by the wealth of her parents she was also detached from her parents because her father was often kept away by work and her mother was kept away by depression. Later Diane told Studs Trekel, who used it in “Hard Times: An Oral History of the Depression”, “I grew up feeling immune and exempt from the circumstances. One of the things that I suffered from was that I never felt diversity.” When she was thirteen she met Allan Arbus and they married, and after the war Allan studied Photography at New Jersey Signal Corps and they supported their family consisting of two daughters as Fashion Photographers. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Their work was divided into gender roles with Allan behind the camera and Diane the stylist and art director. Allan gave Diane her first camera and they took equal amounts of the credit, and in 1959 a year after a photo of theirs was accepted into an exhibit, Allan accepted Diane’s decision to leave the fashion business for him to pursue her own interests. In 1959 the divorced but remained close friends untill1969 when Allan re-married and moved to California to become an actor; however later he said “I always felt that it was our separation that made her a photographer.” Diane’s photos inspired many to look at the unusual and things slightly against what would be considered the normal in life and admire it, for me I like Diane’s work because I have always been on the lines for looking into the unusual and normally ignored things and I have been inspired to look even further into the abnormal side and capture it. = Art Wolfe = = MWarner 95 = = =

Art Wolfe born September 13, 1951 grew up in Seattle and outdoor enthusiast. He enrolled at the University of Washington to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and Arts Education. Unable to gain the cooperation of traditional publishers, Art Wolfe established his own publishing company in 2000, the Wildlands Press (WP) and produced his first book, the “Living Wild.” His stunning and unforgettable images of animals catapulted Art Wolfe to fame. He garnered recognition, such as the Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year by the North American Nature Photography Association, the Alfred Eisenstaedt Magazine Photography Award, and the first Rachel Carson Award. Then he entered the world of television with the same enthusiasm he had in exploring the world. Some of his shows were the “Techniques of the Masters,” “American Photo’s Safari,” and the latest, “Travels to the Edge.” The famous Art Wolfe photos can be classified into these categories: people, places, and wildlife. Of course, the Art Wolfe pictures are not strictly delineated by these categories. He liked to combine people with places, people with wildlife, and wildlife and habitat. He also liked to shoot images of the world's children. The variety of images that Art Wolfe takes means that his niche is not just [|nature photography]. Since he integrates culture and advocacies, Art Wolfe’s style is better called journalistic photography. Art Wolfe captures some amazing photos, he has brought a different aspect into the photography world with his wildlife photos. In all Wolfe’s photos I like that naturally feeling you get when viewing it, he does a fantastic job capturing unexplainable images. Art Wolfe is a great photographer.
