Alex Kotlowitz met Lafeyette and Pharoah Rivers in 1985 while working as a journalist. He was interviewing them for a photo essay in Chicago magazine on children living in poverty. The violence that occurred every day where the brothers lived in Governor Henry Horner Homes, or Horner, disturbed Kotlowitz. Lafeyette and Pharoah are 12 and 9 years old at the start of the book but have experienced more than many kids their age. The boys did not seem sure of what life held for them.

My MYP project topic is Photography. I am researching photography because it is a subject that really interests me and that I enjoy. Photography falls under the global context of Personal and Cultural Expression because it is a form of art and a way for people to express their creativity.

Some questions i’m trying to answer for this project are, What are some restaurants in D.C that are highly favored? What are some cool places I should visit in D.C? How can I become a better photographer?

Perhaps one of the most famous photographers known today. His work spans from his photographs to conservation of the environment. He used his exceptional talent in photography to capture his audience to help preserve what he loved. His pictures went beyond just normal photos of landscapes. They would envelop the viewers and give them a sense that what they were looking at was bigger than life. The pictures had the effect of making you feel small.

Andy Goldsworthy (Rivers and Tides) he is a very unique artist to start with, he uses medium in his art works that is found within its surroundings and turn it into a work of art. He likes to be always connected with nature, he loves the sea and river in connection with time as his concept. His work are in the patterns of snake like or river like shapes and an egg shape pattern. I like his work because it makes me feel at peace with nature which gives me a relaxing effect especially with the sound of water as a background while watching the art work.

Annie Leibovitz who is considered one of America's best portrait photographers can be recognized by her trademark of bold colours and poses. She focuses on the style of portrait photography. Annie Leibovitz was born October 2nd, 1949 in Waterbury Connecticut. She was born as one of the six children of Samuel Leibovitz, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force and Marilyn Edith, a dance instructor.

Each one brings something a little different to the table, keeping creativity alive. There is something to be said about an artist who has the ability to strip someone of all things superficial, and capture the root of their spirit. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a photograph that speaks truth. Photography is one of the best forms of story-telling and the works of Leibovitz, Avedon, and Mark never cease to do just that. The daring traits that all three of these masterminds possess is what gives them the power to create shameless and provocative pieces that are both world-renowned and highly-respected. Without artists like these, the art world would not survive. Among the plethora of repetitive and monotonous works created daily, you need a Leibovitz, an Avedon, and a

The artist whose lives have been a series of pain and suffering and disease, which filmed all this in her paintings creatively stunning.

For my choice of photographer/artist, I chose Edward Hopper, the reason for choosing Edward hopper was that he related with my project, which consist of that of a diner. Edward Hopper most famous work was a painting named Nighthawks, which is of a diner and its occupants at night. I’ve seen this painting at the Art Institute in Chicago and at first glance it was to me but a painting of a diner. The overall way I saw the painting was change after taking drawing studio, but also learning about the light in photography. Looking at it now I am amazed with Hopper technique of using light as a way to conveyed a message, he makes the light the most important being of the painting, even though light is not capable of holding such title. The more you

One significant event in my life was when I began taking a professional photography course. The course lasted 5 weeks, instructed by a professional photographer who would teach students about lighting, composition, using a camera properly, and more. I was eager to learn more and improve my photography skills. Unfortunately, when I started the first class, I realized I was the youngest one there. Most of the other students were either new moms looking to take pictures of their babies, or retirees interested in picking up a new hobby. I felt out of place, and wanted to give up quit the class. I dreaded going back, simply because I was the only teenager there. I thought I would be looked down upon for my age, as if the other people attending the

The name "Photography" comes from the Greek words for light and writing. Sir John Herschel, was the first to use the term photography in 1839, when he managed to fix images using hyposulphite of soda. He described photography as "The application of the chemical rays to the purpose of pictorial representation". Herschel also coined the terms "negative", "positive" and "snapshot".
