Kevin Corrado, Scott Hazard, Michael Schnabel.


The reason for my choosing this photograph is because of the manipulation I feel like the elements of this manipulation give the viewer so much to look into. because of the way that the frame is angled within the trees in the back ground make this element stand out more then they normally would. 


I chose these manipulated photographs by Scott because of how interesting they are to look at because they are layered it gives the photograph a new space in its self.  The torn edges have a more organic feel and i feel like that fits better with the photographs.



I chose this photograph of the Alps best out of all of Michael's work. This photograph is a long exposure taken in the dead of night. I find this interesting because of the amount of reflection that was caught over a period of time.

KAHAN, PAKISTAN - JANUARY 29: A guerrilla from the Marri tribe fires a rockets at a Pakistani military position January 29, 2006 near Kahan in the Pakistani province of Ballochistan. Marri tribesmen and fighters from the nearby Bugti tribe have been battling Pakistani forces since December. According to rebels, the Pakistani government takes Balochistan's vast natural resources but gives little in return. Balochistan is the poorest province in Pakistan. The Pakistani government refers to the rebels as "miscreants."

I chose this image because of the place that it was shot, I also enjoy how he uses the bright light to show what appears to be the heat of summer.

I chose this photograph because of the massive size of the pile of straw it was amazing the amount of labour put into their daily lives. 


M-4 tank crews of the United States. Fort Knox, Kentucky, June 1942. Reproduction from color slide. Photo by Alfred T. Palmer. Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress. The history of this photograph is what caught my eye, to most this would just be a photograph that was meant to be in a photo album but to someone that connects with it it is much more.
