Edouard Boubat

 The first thing I noticed in this photograph was the many foot prints in the deep snow and the small figure towards the right side of the picture playing in the snow. I really enjoy looking at snow-seasonsed photographs. I have always loved the season of winter and this is a great picture to show how wonderful and relaxing it is. 

 This specific image really got my attention because it reminds me of a story that I am working on in my free time called "AquaMeow". It is a story I made up that involves myself as the main character with cat-like abilities and my powers are music. And as soon as I came across this photograph, I had to post it here because of the cat with it's head propped up over the music sheets. It's also as though the cat wants you to sing for it and is the audience. 

This photograph has a great deal of surrealistic qualities. With a young figure kneeling under the tree showing such expression in their body movements as they look up at the tree. The tree dominates most of the photograph and that is quite interesting. The seasons could either be winter or fall and that is another interesting aspect. The person is dominated with either leaves or snow and that is quite interesting. 

William Albert Allard

 From Allard's series of Untouchables, I got a glimpse of what it would be like to work with National Geographic. The thought of going out to many places and exploring the world amazes me and the though to build new memories of where you went is also amazing. I found this image interesting because of how it was shot and the hustle and bustle going on. The world is constantly going and the image makes it look like its going at a faster pace as well. 

 This young girl shivering and a dog sitting behind her and a person (not sure if man or woman) carrying a large sack on their back that has a blur image going on. The environment looks poor and it gave me the sense of feeling sorry for the young child shivering and walking barefoot with torn clothing. You feel a sense of sadness for the child. 

From William's "Blue" collection I found this image entertaining. Not just the subject but also the bright pink colors. With the main subject being the man with his arms open wide, shows a great expression. The people surrounding him all seem to be enjoying themselves and having the boogie sign in the background shows that they are having a really good time. I like the thought of enjoying life and living to the fullest and I get that alot from this image. 

Anton Corbijn

 The man in the foreground of this image captured my eyes because of how he is standing and the location he is standing in. He does not stand in the right or left and not really the center but just in the distant. It is as though he he is looking for himself and is in deep thought. The darkness below him is also very interesting and the brownish-yellow tint of hay also compels the image as well. 

 This man looks so relaxed with his electric guitar connected to the amp sitting on this small bedding. His position is quite relaxing and the wall light on the left-and side also shines light upon him and his hobby. I love music and I really enjoy this subject with his music. The drapery in the background also brings a nice touch with the texture details in the drapery. 

The expression on this man's face plays both mischievous and cunning. How his hands are places on the end of a table and how he looks at the viewer is very interesting. Smaller hands arise above his shoulders as though to show he has wings or is a mystical being coming out of his cave to come find you. A little bit of a thrill and suspense is portrayed well along with the darkened background. 

Burt Glinn

The imagery of having a good time is greatly portrayed here. The man towards the right-hand side of the photograph with the star hat with an umbrella in one hand and a wine or beer bottle in the other. Relaxation and complete peace is seen here. Other people in the image are enjoying themselves as well staying afloat in the water. The composition is very original in its own way because of what is taking place. 

The image of the two women, one wearing a dark colored blouse and the other sitting beside her with the light colored blouse looking just like the portrait on the wall behind them. I felt a very close resemblance with the women in the canvas compared to the real women standing in the foreground. For some reason the image of the women balance together in the overall photograph. 

After reading African Art in Art History III, this image reminded me of two images. One called Tuban Mask and the other called 5 masks in Performance. Both of those images look similar to this image above. All men are portrayed in this image with short grass skirts and clay covered bodies. They all have sticks as weapons and are all in different sizes. What is more intriguing is the masks they wear to conceal their true identity. I feel each mask portrays that person's personality and I the diverse culture of numerous people having many different personalities.
