Throughout photographic history, the threshold that many artists had to overcome was conveying the meaning of their photographs to the public if any at all, and the orientation of the subjects in their photography. The intent of portrait photography is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the subject. Nineteenth century photo historian Alan Trachtenberg notes, “Aspiring professionals wrestled with the problem: how to arrange their sitters and manipulate the often fickle medium to produce not just a picture but a pleasing one--not just a likeness but a portrait”(Trachtenberg, 24). Through these words of Trachtenberg, we can deduce that the main problem was how photographers manipulate their subjects in a way that would

I agree with Reid, revamping America’s health care system would be far too complicated. I liked how Reid connected the ideas of a health care reform to many of the presidents of the past including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Ironically enough, Clinton’s reform didn’t even make it to congress and he was also impeached during his presidency. Is that a coincidence? I do support Obama’s ideas toward building on to the model of health care that we already have, instead of constructing a new one. While Obama’s thoughts were compiled into the Obama Care bill, Reid made it clear that people in America are still uninsured. To me, Obama started what could have been a really good option for health care within the U.S., however, that is now

In January 2003, AOL Time Warner, Inc., announced that it would be posting a loss of $98.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2002, the largest corporate loss in U.S. history. While company exec- utives described the loss as a result of accounting changes rather than problems with ongoing opera- tions, the media conglomerate clearly faced significant challenges. The stock price closed the month of January at $11.66, down from $71 in January 2000, when it announced its merger with America Online (AOL).

While switching to a thick, Italian accent, he pinches his fingertips together on one hand, shaking them with every syllable, making me giggle. “What do you mean? Eh? I'm Italian through and through.” The mischievous grin I've grown to adore slinks along his lips as his eyes sparkle.

V2 grimaced as he folded his arms across his chest. A local carnival had arrived in town and was stationed in the open lot across from Toshizou's manor. For the most part, V2 hated crowds of people, they drove him mad, not to mention the odor their bodies gave off when V2 was close enough to smell the blood that ran through their very veins.

This assignment was about the earlier reading that we had done this last week talking about the girl that had been treated very wrong and being given out for marriage at a very young age. This is also the same article that talks about the girls going through medical processes which involved them getting their genitals cut and mutilated at a very young age which is very wrong and was talked about in that article very briefly. This article goes into more depth of how the group was able to make all these things happen and how they are able to save these girls now. It talks about how the girl Ester who was at the begging of the last text and how she was a big role in getting laws and regulations past so that girls and young children have more

We finally got to the bowling alley and when we got there Riley runs towards the place in a rush. We sit there for a while not saying anything not saying anything which is strange because Aidan is a talker you can never get him to shut up. Like for example one time he was helping me pack and he was getting my socks and he started talking about how girls fold their socks and how boys fold their socks I had to stop him to tell him to shut up. I was the first to break the silence I told him he should of told me but he didn’t reply he said the only reason he didn’t tell me was because he knew me and that if I found out I would of been disappointed. I wouldn’t of though I would of been on his side. Last fall when Aidan and I were putting an

When searching for the university or college that you need to apply for you should do your research. You should start your research 12-18 months in advance to give yourself the most time (and slightest anxiety). Each U.S. University and collage sets its own particular admission standards and chooses which candidates meet those standards. In this manner, you should apply independently to every university or college. Most universities in the USA encourage imminent worldwide understudies to contact their admissions office no less than one year before intending to enter that university.

It had been 30 years since Antarctica had melted and society in the mainland was beginning to break down. Buildings lay dry and burned down, except for some places which got tropical storms almost daily. Minnesota had been washed out, all the rivers flooding. The buildings lay abandoned, sinking into the swampy marsh that the state had become, along with Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. All this had been the result of the Great Lakes spilling over into the land because of rainfall. Living here was not possible. It was where you were sent to prison from the Ocean Districts. The prisoners never came back after they were sent to the Midwestern Marshes. Along the mainland, about 200 miles out in the ocean at the most, there were tremendous

Imagine driving down a sandy desert highway with the smell of Arabian foods in the air. Your nose picks up the scent of mint, basil, dill, and parsley. You’re in Iran, a country that is known for its Arabic culture and wonderful food. Today, Iran is largely on the news for being a supporter of terrorism. However, there is a lot more to the country of Iran than that. In fact, the history of Iran dates back centuries.

Everyday objects are not something we typically pick up take a hard look at and then ask ourselves what they tell other people about us. If the person already knew you, how could that object be used to describe you in more detail? It is an interesting thing to ponder and not as simple as you might think. Maybe the object has a more complex meaning than one might think at their first glance. Perhaps it represents a tough time in your life and how you have overcome it. Ordinary things in one person’s life can mean so much more in another person’s. Like everything in life, it is all about perspective.
