Eleanor by Harry Callahan

Eleanor

Harry Callahan spent a lot of his time photographing is wife Eleanor.  She was an essential part to his work.  He photographed he regardless of where they were, at home, in the streets, by herself, with there daughter, in color and lack of color, clothed and nude and he was always trying a new technical way to photograph her.  Double and triple exposures and played with the focus.
Eleanor (the picture above) is a picture that my teacher showed on one of the first days of class.  It was very rememberable picture because of the rules that were broke to make this picture the way it is.  We were talking about how to properly expose our pictures and talked later about bracketing to see how different the picture looks.

Steve McCurry

Steve McCurry
McCurry was grew up in Philedaphia, studied film in college, and went on to work at the local newspaper. He did freelance work and during that time made a trip to India and then started exploring the world with his camera.

McCurry work was featured world wide in newspapers. When he is in other countries he photographs conflict such as Iran-Iraq war, and the Gulf war. He seems like a guy who goes to the places where no one else will go. He has been given many awards, such as magazine photographer of the year, and four first place prices in the World Press Photo contest.

This picture was a picture that McCurry took while in Kabul, Afghanistan. When I see this picture a see a young boy sitting on the side of the road trying to sell bread, to make money for his family. This picture makes me thankful that I have an indoor job a car that is reliable and my husbad that works hard every day to make a living for me. 

ME

This is me and my husband. We got married last august.  He is a computer engineer, and I am going to school for Web Development/Design and should graduate in December of 2014.  We live out in the country.  We love hunting, shooting, hiking riding and taking pictures together.

Geese

I love being outdoors, and it is very rare that you will catch me outside in the woods with out a camera. I love capturing those moments so I can cherish them forever.  This picture of the geese captivated me the most because it draws me in every time I look at it.  THe lines in the bottom of the picture, the detail of the geese and the water splashing.

Skulls

To represent skull week at St. Charles Community College I wanted to add my favorite pic of a skull that I took.  Skull weeks purpose was to draw the art department at scc together to form a since of community.
