This is a good photograph because it shows the penguins in their natural habitat. The photograph is very clear, the mountains in the back and the divide between underwater and above water, up close, is focused.

Living the fast-paced lives of work and family, humans do not get to experience this beauty of nature often enough. Peter Lik uses contextual art in most of his photographs in order to capture the natural Earth that most people are not lucky enough to see in person.
“Deep Sea Drifters II” didn’t stand out because it wasn’t a photograph but because the style of art seemed like something like a nine-year-old’s crayon work. Of course, when I looked closer, the piece...
What I see in this piece is peacefulness. Stokes of the paintbrush are perfect to make it look whole. With the sun shinning down making the colors pop out even more. The olive trees glowing in the suns light with the mountains behind it. It is a piece I could look at for a long time with out getting bored. The colors of the piece just make it look so complete. With the lines of the

Gary Winogrand’s photography career began when a friend introduced him to it in 1948 while taking painting classes at Columbia University. After Winogrand’s first exposure to the darkroom, he abandoned painting and “never looked back.” Winogrand became extremely emerged in photography and felt that nothing else in life mattered. He dropped out of college to pursue his passion. Earning an average of ninety cents per week, he had a difficult yet determined beginning. Winogrand did not concern himself with issues that were affecting society and therefore did not always appeal to the mass public. Winogrand’s long and successfully debatable career experienced many turns and obstacle that ultimately led him to become one of the most noted photographers of the late twentieth century.

Movies such as Mary Poppins, Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, Happy Feet, Surf’s Up, and Madagascar have portrayed penguins as lovable, comical creatures with intelligent minds and adorable faces. Simply put: humans have idealized the penguin. Indeed, it is a well-known fact that most species of penguin form loyal monogamous bonds, also known as mating for life. However, there are other penguin facts which are largely unknown. For example, few individuals know that penguins have a body temperature between “100 and 102 degrees” Fahrenheit (Lynch, 1997, p. 35). When we remember that humans have a...

Photography is a part of almost everyone's everyday life whether it is through a smartphone, laptop, or professional camera. Before the late 1800s, though, even a simple picture was not possible. Although many people worked hard and put their ideas and inventions of new cameras in the world, Louis Daguerre is among one of the most important.
