Compemporary Photographer: Sheila Pree Bright

I loved how she painted the picture of the peasant life in every page, especially at the beginning. For she illustrated how the people in her village were struggling financially and were not worried about the health of their family members and themselves, instead the men in the families were more

She uses unique words and phrases, metaphors and descriptions, and witty but informative tone. She opens the readers’ minds up to what the world we are living in is becoming. It is everyone for themselves, therefore every individual should become educated on every subject that they can handle. There is no possible way someone should overeducate themselves; it is just an impossibility. Imagine what life would be like if eventually everyone only knew about what their degree was in. There would not be many conversations, no improvement in the quality of life, a shorter survival rate, etc. The worst feeling in the world is feeling useless or worthless which could happen if you do not expand your knowledge. Go out in the world and learn what can be learned by observing, reading, studying, listening, asking, tasting, touching, smelling, or anything that helps you learn. The world needs more intelligence in every area. It is time that we take a stand and educate ourselves and others as much as we possibly

I found her writing on the famous Indian Squanto to be particularly interesting. Squanto was the famous Native American who helped the first settlers of the Mayflower. He was the only Native American who could speak English do to the fact he was kidnapped my European sailors early in his

only did she do research but she also joined the community. She did fieldwork, and interviews of the people who were actually living that life. She became part of the community so that she can better understand what it is that’s going on. She went in there and asked all the necessary

Maya Angelou's was significant because she believed in accomplishing her goals would get her a better life. Angelou made an influence on the world with her books

She worked for McClure’s magazine journalist and was an investigative reporting pioneer. I personally think she was the best writer of her time. Her most passionate case was exposed unfair practices of the Standard Oil Company, leading to a U.S. Supreme Court decision to break its monopoly. Not only did she crush the monopoly of the oil companies, but she was also the author of an array of acclaimed works. Such as The History Of The standard Oil Companies, All In The Days Work and the most known, The Tariff Of Our Time. She was so passionate about all her work, she put a little bit of herself of everything she ever worked

It would have taken two paragraphs but I could use one to explain in more detail. The thing that makes me wonder the most is how she learned to read and write and why did her owners not stop her when they would out they she could read and write? I came to the conclusion that they found that her writing was exceptional and didn’t want to stop something that could be great, and be glad they didn’t stop her. She went on to do a bunch of amazing things like write to Washington about slavery and help a poet write a poem. She was the first African American to publish a poem when most slaves were forbidden to read and write. Overall she inspired a lot of slaves to learn how to read and write and was a part of

I'm choosing to do my report on the photographer Cindy Sherman. Cindy Sherman was born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. She was the youngest of five children. She attended The State University College at Buffalo to study art. As a freshman, she started out studying paintings, but then became frustrated with the limitations of painting, she decided to use photography, which she studied for the rest of the time in college. After graduating in 1976, she moved to New York City to pursue a career in art. She began by taking pictures of herself, dressed up and posing as different characters, though the photographs weren't meant to portray her, but rather these characters she created (such as a prostitute, housewife etc), thus labeling them

I have chosen for the week’s discussion the photography of Jacob Riis. Jacob Riis was a photojournalist that told whom shed light on the living conditions of the impoverished citizens in New York.

She has gone through a rough life and still did great things, like moving to New York and helping her siblings leave their uncaring parents. Another Example is when she got a boyfriend and was living with him and she didn’t have enough money to pay for college so she worked for it and later graduated from Barnard college. *These are great examples of not giving up and going after their dreams even though they grew up in a bad family or was poor. This again shows how she didn’t just give up and walk away, she worked for college even though she didn’t have the money and later graduated and became successful and achieved her life

In her stories she had talked about the things going on in her life and along with her love for theatre. She moved to New York in 1925 which was when Harlem Renaissance was at its peak and she soon became apart of it. Her writing was what helped her a lot because she was who revealed the truth about the Black Southern Experience as being a native of the rural south. She was the most famous female writer of the Harlem Renaissance and her novel “Their eye’s were watching god” wrote in 1937 was considered among the most influential works of not only the Renaissance but also of the American culture and women’s literature.

Maya Angelou, one of the most influential women of our time, saw the world from many angles. She lived in the streets and toured with magnificent shows. She lived and worked with people that the majority of others would turn their noses up at, she became friends with dazzling celebrities. She faced some of the most horrible hardships that most of us can’t begin to imagine being put through. But, in the end,it all paid off; she pushed through and ended up on top.

For this essay I am going to be talking about the value of a body of work called ‘Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond’ that was photographed by a young lady named, Jennie Gunhammar. I hope to bring other documentary photographers into the essay as they all have similarities to one another. I will be including some photographs such as; some of Nan Goldin’s and the famous photograph by Therese Frare of David Kirby on his death bed dying of aids. The photographs that Jennie Gunhammar produced for this series was showing the day to day life and struggle of; her twin sister Jessie and her partner Stan, who are both suffering from different diseases.
