Great Black and White Photographers - Part 3

1. What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? 

I like Irving Penn because his photos are different, and are of unusual subjects. And one thing that caught my eye about the photos with people in them, their facial expressions are blank compared to how their bodies are positioned, and their scenery. 

2. Look ar those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me (Mr. Reeves) more about those photos. 

In the first photo I see all objects, like games pieces and cards. I also see ashes, and two dark drinks. In the second photo I see 11 people, some are standing, some are sitting. There is nothing in the back grounds and ladders. 

In the first photo I smell the drinks and the ashes. In the second photo I smell the sweat from the models because it is hot in the building and they have been there for a long time. 

In the first photo I don't hear anything because everyone is quite so the Penn can concentrate. And I also hear the shutter of the camera. In the second photo I hear the shutter of the camera and the models complaining because they are tired of posing.  

I can't taste anything.  

I feel confused and inspired by the photos. 

3. Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me (Mr. Reeves) what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school. 

Because Irving Penn takes photos of a lot of different things. I would create a powerpoint and separate into categories like; people in black and white, people in color, objects and food.
