10 Studio Photographers!

 

Richard Avedon

The reason I love this photo is because of the facial expression. It looks as if she is sad or lonely. Although, Marilyn Monroe always puts up a fake vision of herself, Richard was able to get her at a time where she let her true self show. 

                     Mary Ellen Mark 

What I like about this photo is because it shows Mary Ellen's mom smoking in the hospital ward. Even though she maybe dying she still lives her life as if nothing happened or it might be her last smoke?

Stephanie Beeley 

What I instantly loved about this photo is the cuteness of the little girl and her posture, it shows her innocence.

What I like about this photo is it reminds me of women power and how they got their freedom and now how the rule and dominant certain job careers. Lets just say GO WOMEN POWER! and GIRL'S ROCK!

Anita Zvonar

Aw, tell me that doesn't make you wan to have cute kids like that, I know it makes me want to. What drew me to this photo was a father and son moment and not to lie the yawn.

This photo made me want to smile, I'm not sure whether it was the red or her smile. 

Helen Tansey

What I like about this photo is that the little boy looks happy but the girl looks like she is having a tantrum and her little sass makes her look adorable.

What I like about this photo is the boy's eyes and how it matches his shirt. Also the lighting is very impressive.

Dan Abramovici

As you can tell I love kids and this photo makes you think she saw a ghost but also she looks as if she just likes having fun making faces at the camera.

 When I saw this Photo it made me laugh whether it was because of the cuteness or the babies posture. It made me remember the quote "There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again." ~Elizabeth Lawrence

Renaissance

 

 The Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele is a

large oil on oak panel painting by the

Early Netherlandish painter Jan van Eyck. One of his late works, it was commissioned in the autumn 1434 and took two years to complete. It was intended both to celebrate the still living donor's dedication to his church, St. Donatian's Cathedral in Bruges, and to serve as his epitaph. It is one of the earliest known Northern Sacra conversazione. It shows the Virgin Mary with the child Jesus on her lap, seated on an elevated throne decorated with carved representations of Adam and Eve, prefigurations of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, and figures from Old Testament scenes. In the early 15th century Mary grew in importance as an intercessor between the divine and members of the Christian faith.

 

Shortly after it was finished (The Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele ), the painting already enjoyed great fame.The Canon is portrayed dressed in a white surplice, kneeling down in front of Mary and Baby Jesus, holding his prayer book and his glasses in his hands. Mary is seated on a copiously decorated throne dressed in a red cloak. Jesus is sitting on her lap on a white cloth. He is playing with a green, ring-necked parakeet while handing a little bouquet of flowers to Mary. Next to Joris Van der Paele, his patron saint, Saint George, is walking into the scene, dressed in a harness. He takes off his helmet and salutes Jesus with 'Adona[i]' ('lord' in Hebrew) - as written on his harness - and introduces the Canon to Mary and Jesus. He is holding a white flag with a red cross clasped in his arm.On Mary's left is the bishop Saint Donatian of Reims. He is wearing a cope (a liturgical garment) decorated with golden and blue embroidery and a mitre. In one hand he is holding a crosier and in the other hand his attribute, a wheel with five burning candles. The scene is depicted in an apse or a rounded construction, of which the round arches are supported by pillars featuring ornamented capitals.The painting is still mounted in its original frame. This frame has several inscriptions amongst which is the artist's signature.

 

The panel's donor, Joris van der Paele, was born in Bruges c 1370 and spent his early career as a lay papal scribe in Rome before returning to his native city in 1425 as a wealthy man.Van Eyck's mastery at handling oil can be seen in the variety of brush strokes used to create the high degree of realism and minute details.Jan van Eyck is one of the most famous 'Flemish Primitives' and is credited with originating the painting style associated with them. As a court painter-he first entered the service John of Bavaria, the Count of Holland, in The Hague and afterwards served at the court of the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good-he is to be considered one of the most important painters of his era. He gained a reputation particularly because of his distinctive painting style, which is characterised by a great feeling for detail, a minutely accurate execution method and a vivid colour palette.

What I wanted from this picture is to have meaning so what I did was write Strive on the board and we can see me fading away while writing it. What do you think strive means to you? Well to me it is You have to always continue to strive no matter how hard things get, no matter how troubled you feel. No matter how tough things get, no matter how many times you lose, you keep trying to win. When you have a goal you strive to reach it so why does and we should'nt srtive to be perfect but for exellence. On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort and that's what I did while doing this and in the end I got what I wanted and I was happy and content with it.
