Burtynsky


Burtynsky's work and style of art is very basic and quite simple in many aspects. Many of his pictures were just wide shots that had so much depth to it that it showed the reality of the industry he was shooting. A major key to his shots is the technicality of how he presents the setting. His shots are "glorious waste" and shows true beauty in the polluted resource areas around the world, as well as in the sweat shops. I am blown away with the depth of field and the color and lighting in the shots that he has. You can tell that his equipment is high-end and profession with the large format pictures he is able to take, but it is also takes a great eye and talent to separate the "Ok shots" with the "Great ones".

STN Photos Many Faces of Dave Junker





James Nachtwey


The short feature of famous war photo journalist, James Nachtwey, was a very moving and compelling piece. Through the art of photography, he has changed the lives for many people for the better, exposing the truth and real hardships of reality outside the United States and also capturing history in which without his photos, would be lost with the sands of time. The film in regards of this class shows the power in which people have with a picture and how it can influence and change people.

A picture holds a thousand words, how will you tell the story?

The First Class

Well I would have to say that the first night of class was pretty fun. There is always the introduction of class with the syllabus and the requirements for the class and all that great stuff you get the first 20 minutes of class, but I am really excited to see what work I can produce over this coming semester. I have finally found a major that falls into the field that I am already in :.)
