a. Michael Coyne believes the most important thing when taking a picture is your attitude when taking the picture.

b. It was very interesting how Coyne was unbiased. He associated with a person who slit a mans throat murderer. I also like how when discusses photojournalism he really stresses, not altering the photo.

2.

a.  The photojournalist for this picture was Alfred Eisenstaedt

b. The name of the picture was “V-J Day, The Kiss”

c. This picture was taken in 1945

d. This image was taken in New York City

e. The image was of time square, it is black in white with a lot of people and buildings. The main subjects include a young couple making out, they seem to be really intimate.

f. This particular picture was one of thousands of Eisenstaedt’s photos. It made it in the top 10 for photojournalism. The artist behind this picture is well known for what he does. His fascinating photos displayed ” earth-shaking events and influential people of the twentieth century, from the dignity of royalty to the elegance of movie stars, from the passion of scholars to the determination of diplomats” (http://www.gallerym.com/pages/alfred-eisenstaedt-biography)

g. The artist was successful while capturing his picture. Eisenstaedt’s goal for every picture is to capture important event and significant and impacting individuals. In this case he shot a pic of a soldier who is probably coming home for the first time to his significant other. The image is quite passionate and emotional.

h. There are no professional structural features. The photo is straight forward. A general picture with a simple message.
