Lisette Model

I love old people. This photograph by Lisette Model is a very eye catching photograph. The way that this person is holding their face gives the photograph a grumpy sort of feel to it. The way that the background it not perfectly horizontal to the figure makes me wonder about the way that the photographer was positioned or also where the subject was sitting.

Arnold Newman

This photograph by Arnold Newman called Key Shop New York, NY 1942 caught my attention because of the large white keys. I think that the keys give off nice geometric space, I enjoy how the white keys seem to break up the tonal range of the whole image. I also enjoy how the windows seem to mirror one another.

Sam Haskins

This photograph by Sam Haskins called rocking chair is a great black and white photograph showing movement. I love the blur that the movement of the chair has caused along with the movement of the persons leg. This photograph shows  high contrast and that is also what makes this so interesting for me.

Ernst Haas

This is a photograph by Ernst Haas called Binoculars, Battery Park, NY, 1952. This photograph caught my eye because of the way the binoculars are in a row they make me think of people, and after I thought they looked like people I thought this resembled a family photograph. This fun photograph makes the subject seem interesting and a little on the funny side.

Ralph Gibson

This photograph by Ralph Gibson shows great lighting. The way that the hand almost glows reaching out of the room. Also it is beautiful how the hand and door are casting a shadow that makes the photograph look like it is glowing. It makes me wonder why the hand is reaching to the outside doorknob from the inside of the room, i feel like if this was not staged that you would see the person or their hand would be on the other side if the door.

Thomas Struth

I choose this photograph by Thomas Struth because of the way the buildings seem to be wrapping themselves around the frame. I also enjoy the way that the doors are going from tall to short to draw your eyes around the photograph. The space at the top of the image where you can visibly see the sky is a very pretty and interesting space.

Stephen Shore

This photograph by Stephen Shore called Yucatan, Mexico 1990 is overall a moving photograph. my reasons for choosing this photograph are not because I enjoyed it so much it is truly just because of the chicken. I  feel like the poor chicken head in the left hand corner takes away from the rest of the photograph. Because of the chicken being there my eye is drawn strait to it.
