i just think Annie Leibovitz is amazing.

questions #3

1. very simple camera with no lens and a single very small aperture. a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box

2. Annie Leibovitz was born in Waterbury, Connecticut on October 2, 1941. Shes Jewish. Because her father was in the military, Annie got her first assignment to take pictures from her father. Her assignment was to take pictures while the family was in the Phillipeans. When she was older she attended the San Fransisco Art Institute. She took pictures for Rolling Stones magazine in 1970. She also took pictures for the magazine Vanity Fair.

3. John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Demi Moore, and Leslie Nielsen.

messin around some more

just messin around

nine of...that guy.

second set of questions

1. an optical element (the lens), a chemical element (the film) and a mechanical element (the camera body itself)

2. manual single-lens-reflex. this is a camera where the photographer sees exactly the same image that is exposed to the film and can adjust everything by turning dials and clicking buttons.

3. controls the amount of light that reaches a cameras sensor.

4. it controls how fast or slow the light comes through and hits the sensor.The mirror in an SLR camera directs the real image to the viewfinder. When you hit the shutter button, the mirror flips up so the real image is projected onto the film.

5. balance film speed, aperture size and shutter speed

6. low because there is already a lot of natural light being used to take the picture. the need for false light is diminished.

7. processing, completeing the development phase by rinsing the film or using stop bath, the silver crystals are removed, film is washed in water.

8. gelatin, the negative image, photographic paper and an enlarger

9. silver

Edward Weston...
Edward Weston was born on March 24th, 1886 in Highland Park, Illinois. Most of Weston's childhood was spent in chicago where he went to school. At sixteen years old, he began taking pictures with a Bulls Eye #2 camera that he was given to by his dad. In 1906 Weston pubilshed his first photograph. And on Janurary 1st, 1958 Edward Weston died.
What intrigued me about this picture was the fact the Weston was able to in a sense make the pepper come to life. There is a fluidity to the way the lighting is reflecting off the seemingly beautiful....vegitable. The light just hits in a way that the pepper resemembles more of a human body then i dead garden veggie. Images like this are the reason that i am so interested in photography.
