Project:Lakes and Roses-This images expresses the theme dedication because this women has so many dolls. I think the Coyne took this picture to show how someone could care about something so much even if its just dolls. It makes me feel the passion the woman has for her dolls as if they were her pets or children.

To Michael Coyne the most important things when taking a photo are having a  plan and then not following through with it, creating new ideas, as well as getting to know the people you are photographing.

What i found most interesting in the presentation was how much emotion he had when talking to the group, you could really tell how much he cares and lives for Photography.

Task 2

-Alfred Eisenstaedt/The Kiss/1945/New York,New York

This images was take on VJ Day and it is when all the Allies claimed victory over Japan and the sailor is celebrating by kissing his wife. I think the Photographer captured the intended message well because it clearly shows the theme celebration of VJ Day. What stands out in this image is the way the sailor is grasping his wife with a love filled kiss and how she stands while being embraced by him. Her position is almost conveying the message of being “swept of her feet.”

Photojournalism-the art or practice of communicating news by photographs, especially in magazines.

Photography and Photojournalism has a few differences. For instance, Photojournalism is usually explaining a story or a series of events with pictures. The job of a Photojournalist is to capture the images of the event enough so, that the images are narrating themselves. However Photography is usually images of an event or thing over time.

NPPA is the National Press Photographers Associations. This groups pushes for higher standards of photojournalism, understanding every side of a story in specific events, as well as document the world we live in.
