Week4: Gregory Heisler, Michael Fidler, Dorothea Lang


I am attracted to the selective focus in the image as well as the way this photographer chose to crop the image. It's almost as if he captured a moment in time from this celebrities every day life. The space that is emphasized in the background is beautiful. Also the way that it makes it seem like this person is waiting for some one or that they just left early.


This image is called Gallop with wind. I like how the horse is transparent almost see through and this figure shows repetition in motion. The background blends well with the movement of the horse. The light that hits the shape of the horse is nice as well as the highlights of the grass. Light is a huge source in this assignment.






Dorothea Lange when in California came across a family who had made the decision to try to find a better home. They had left their prior home in Oklahoma and made the long journey to California. They only could find hopeless life existence in a tent. Dorothea is best known for her photographs during the great depression of migratory farm workers. She really captured these people in a hard time with that she captured so much emotion.
