Crazy Legs at home in The Bronx, the early 1990s

Such good composition and I like how he's not even looking at the camera as she took the shot, although it's in the early 1990s it seems like it could have been taken in the 1980s,

Mare 139 - Graffiti artist

I really like how she has made such good depth of field in this picture, it brings him right to the front.

Jessie at 8,1990

This is a great image and it almost looks like the girl was moving as she took the shot

Sally Mann Candy Cigarette, from the series immediate family

This is a great image and I think she asked the young girl to hold the cigarette, it looks like someone is stood on stilts behind her but you can't see it too well because of the blur from the depth of field.

Pablo Picasso "draws" a centaur in the air with light, 1949.Gjon Mili—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images

This must have been taken with a long exposure to have the light traces of Picasso.

It's great to be working in black and white/monochrome and it really gives the photograph a different kind of character, for me personally like I said before it kind of makes you think it's not a such modern image

Visual Language Resit Work

Task one and Task two, Development work To create a book i will need to decide on a theme taken from space, place or narrative. Research "Photography is a way of telling what you feel about what you see" Ansel Adams - www.photographyknowhow.com I have decided to work under the theme of place and the idea for the book is to find historical pictures of North St and the Bedminster area, some maybe before WW2. I will compare these historical photos with pictures I have taken myself. It will be so interesting to see the difference and how things have changed over the years. Here is an example of a historical photograph taken in the 1960s, although this was taken looking down Park St it is still an informative image of the era, and was also taken in black and white This photo was taken right in the centre of Bristol by Baldwin street and it is really good to see it in colour which allows you to look into the image in more depth. ...

My Street (Location Task)

My Street You are to produce a short related series about the street where you live; paying particular attention to what’s actually involved in location photography and assessing/acting upon lighting requirements. Location Report: the Location i will be shooting at is the street where I am Currently living. I am planning to take shots during the day in the afternoon, this will give me the best light conditions as I am planning to use sunlight/natural light. Because of this the weather is a very important as i will not have the best light conditions on a cloudy day. Pre shoot Report: The location is the street in which i am currently living in so i am very comfortable with taking shots. It is actually a cul de sac so it will be very unlikely that i will see anybody who is not happy with me taking photographs. The street will be very quite during the day as most of the residents go off to work in the morning and come back in the evening. ...
