Image
          Alfred Stieglitz was a very skilled photographer that took photos in black and white. Stieglitz was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1864. He went to school in Germany for engineering in 1881 and went to Technische Hochschule in Berlin for photochemistry in 1882. When Stieglitz got back to New York in 1890, he got in a partnership with a photogravure company and took photos of streets.            He then went back to Europe in 1894 and joined a pictorialist society called The Linked Ring located in London. Eight years later, Stieglitz tries to tell the world that photography could show as much artistic expression as painting and sculpture. In 1903, which was a year later, he became the director and publisher of Camera Works , a magazine with its graphic section worked on by Edward Steichen.

1. Which amusement park featured in the two articles would you like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park makes you want to go there? I would like to visit Land of Oz in Beech Mountain, North Carolina. It doesn't look so scary and since it's abandoned, there won't be people getting in your shots if you wanted to have a model to pose on the yellow brick road or going into a castle. Also, The Wizard of Oz movie turned into an amusement park is great. To see it abandoned would be terrifying but more realistic than having people walking everywhere, even in the forest. 2. What are 5 other unusual places photographers would be interested in? 1.  The Musee des Egouts in Paris, France 2.  Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi,   Sweden 3.  Las Pozas in Xilitla, Mexico 4.  Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California 5. Hanging Coffins of Sagada in Mountain Province, Philippines. 3. Why do you think it would be fun to document Las Pozas? Tell me...

This picture because you can see how distressed he is and there is a bunch of stuff on the table next to him. B. How do the images work together to tell a story? Help show emotions that words can't describe. C. How do the captions enhance the photographs? They help to tell you what's going on in the photograph. D. Summarize the story of Ian Fisher, based just on the captions. He went into the Army and had some difficulties but pulled through. His father was a Vietnam veteran and gave him advice on different things and his family was always supportive. He had girlfriends all through the years but in the end he married one of them. E.
