William Eggleston
William Eggleston was born in July 27 1939, and he is currently 71 years old. He is known for color photography.
He has to kids(now grown up) and his wife supports his photography. I like him because although he is super famous and fantastic at photography, he is really humble modest and submissive. He had a habit of mumbling that required subtitles in the movies. When we watched the documentary, I realized he is kind of an alcoholic and smokes ciggarete after ciggarete. I really hope he is getting rid of his smoking and drinking, andjavascript:void(0) getting help. Other than that he is a great artist.
In conclusion,I think he is one of the most talented photographers that I know of. I really admire his photos and photography style. Hopefully I will take photos that good someday.

So, dear blog its been a looooong time:|
I have come to realize that I don't use this much anymore. which is why I promise (to no one in particular....) that I will post daily updates about what ever I want. This blog however WILL continue to be mainly for photography. Right now I dont have the luxury(Hah I love saying that) of a camera cord or the installed disc which means that I won't be uploading fresh pictures that *I* took, they will eaither be makeup ones or oldones. by makeup ones I mean that I photoshop make up into people, making them gorgeous!(and suspiciously flawless and perfect) anyhowww, I am rambling blablabla but I will try to keep up with this!:D

Final artist stament
Final Artist stament. NOT FINISHED BECAUSE WE WERE GIVEN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES ON IT
This is the best class i ever had becaue i learned what im good at and what i am not good at. I liked this class because it covered photography and computers, My favorite photgraphy styles where Street photography because it showed how I saw the streets and how colorful and cheerful my world could be if im in the right mood. I used the bucket,gradient,painting too, image contrast,saturation tools for street photography. I enjoyed the Self portrait assigment becasue i got to see sides i never knew about me and learned more about me in a unique way. I realized that everyone was absolutly beautiful in their own way. I enchanced my features with photoshop very subtly by using the paintbrush,saturation,gaugasssian blur,liquify and overlay mode and various image adjustments. The photography style i absolutly love was the black and white photos, mainly because that style is classic and very fullfilling. I liked it also due to the fact that it made certain photographs catch the melanchony and bitterwseet mood of it. for this style is simply desaturated the photo and tweated the contrast/brightness abit.
In conclusion, I am glad i took this class and I plan on pursuing a career on photoshop and photography. :)

My Art Statement/Rebeca.
Art is what keeps people going.Its what keeps ME going. I love art. All kinds of art. I paint, draw, film-make, sing, dance, take photos, write, sculpture and create. I love having an aesthetic life. My photography style is a little bit of everything. I like capturing the beauty of simple things yet showing how they really are sometimes. I also like all kinds of photography for example: Black and white photos because it’s the most realistic and classic, Street photography because it demonstrates what’s going on in the real world, it shows that the world is not always so pretty. It also shows action and people doing their own thing. Self portrait photos are my favorite because depending on how you take the photo and how you decide to edit it, can demonstrate many sides of you that you never knew. it can show you things about you that are unique, things that make you who you are and it can show you that you are beautiful. I absolutely love street photography and for my photos I used a wide variety of things like the sponge tool, paint bucket, gradient tool,the eye dropper tool,blur tool, among many others. I also manipulated the image’s color by changing their saturation and hue and using the variation tool on imageadjustments .What I also liked was using the filters such as the artistic one,blur one and stylize filter. I love how in photography you can show the beauty of something, set a mood by the colors and capture something unique. Alfred Eisenstaedt is one of my favorite photographers because he manages to catch the essence of life through his pictures. He took pictures of everything not just pretty images, He took pictures of couples kissing, Marylin Monroe, a child and a mother in hopeless poverty and many more. I can compare to him because I like catching a snapshot of beauty but I also want to show everyone that the world is not always pretty things. That there are things that aren’t beautiful in fact some are hideous but we still need to acknowledge it.I want them to see that there is bad in this world and we need to fix it yet at the same time show them that the simple things are beautiful and that you can find something good in the bad and that all of the everyday things we take for granted like the trees,sky,sun and earth,shoes,kids are fantastic and gorgeous. Ultimately I want them to see through my eyes and unique photography. I hope one day I can accomplish these goals.

Alfred Eisenstaedt

Alfred Eisenstaedt is the photographer I most like. His work is Unique and he finds the beauty in everything. He manages to catch the essense of life through his pictures like the one above.He was born in December 6 1898 but died in 1995. He also photographed a meeting between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in Italy in 1933.
Here are a couple more pictures I like by him:
