Great Photos



Here are three photographs I found to illustrate some of the different characteristics that make great photographs. The first one I think really tells a story and may trigger memories for people that have gone through hard times such as the Great Depression. By looking at the photograph you can feel the worry and hardship that she is experiencing. This photo was taken by Dorothea Lange and can be found here.





















The next photo I think evokes a feeling, in that it brings a smile to the person's face who is looking at it. Einstein is just plain being goofy. This photo was taken by Arthur Sasse and can be found here.




















The final photo uses reflections to make it great. In this photograph there isn't really bold horizon line, so the ski and the water all blend together giving it a kind of mystery. This photo was taken by Ede Stein and can be found here.
