Although Edward Burtynsky’s photography has often been analyzed in relation to the sublime, this aesthetic framework does not account for all that his photography attempts to accomplish. In this paper I will first briefly assess some of recent writing that has positioned Burtynsky’s work in relation to different characterizations of the sublime, such as the toxic sublime. I will then analyze the historical underpinnings of what constitutes the sublime and its concurrent affects. Finally, I will examine why viewing the photographs of Oil solely in relation to the sublime is problematic.

On March 23, 1991, the civil war in Sierra Leone began when the RUF attempted to overthrow the Sierra Leone government. The war lasted a total of 11 years ending in 2002 with a estimated total of 50,000 people dead. In the beginning the RUF did not have enough soldiers to fight, so on the idea that the Sierra Leone government would not fire on children, they began recruiting kids as young as seven. After a while the government too had a lack of soldiers and began recruiting children. In 2002 after the RUF been defeated President Kabbah declared the Sierra Leone Civil War over.

The American Civil war was being in the U.S. from 1861 to 1865. The war broke out when the confederate attacked the Union fort in Fort Sumter. Many people believe that the civil war start just because of the south have slaves. This is true but there is more to know. One other reason is because of tariffs.

Bruce Gilden was one of the excellent is a road picture taker. He is best known for his genuine close-up photographs of people in the city of New York City once expressed, "I cherish the general population I photo. That is to say, they're my companions. I've never met a large portion of them or I don't have any acquaintance with them by any means, yet through my pictures I live with them." I feel like John Szarkowski comprehended what Bruce implied while embodied the bona fide centrality of photography in his work keeps on managing new best in class picture takers the about the art of photography.

The American Photograph was taken by Photographer Jose Juarez outside of the Fort Field stadium, in Detroit, Michigan September 10, 2017, during Sunday’s game between the Detroit Lions and the Arizona Cardinals, NFL football teams. Protestors along with 50 members of Colin Kaepernick’s fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, rallied in support of Colin Kaepernick former quarterback of the 49ers. Colin Kaepernick took a knee and a seat several times during the national anthem at football games, making his motive clear that he was protesting racial injustice in American, especially police brutality, and the shooting of many black people. In the image, protestors are taking a knee and their fist is balled in the air. They are seeking out justice for Colin

The Congo civil war was a outrageous political fight that began just days following Belgium's granting of congolese independence in 1960. Going for four years the associated violence caused an at least 100,000 lives including the nation's first minister from patrice lumumba, an UN secretary Dag who was killed in a plane crash as he attempted a mediate the crisis escalating with the secession of the southernmost province of katanga the conflict concluded five years later with the dictatorship of joseph really wanted mobutu.

Robert Capa took this photograph on September 5,1936 during the republican spanish war in the city of Cerro Muriano, Spain. From 1936 to 1939, Capa worked in Spain, photographing the Spanish Civil War.The soldier in the picture is Federico Borrell García and in this picture he is getting hit by a bullet.He is collapsing backwards, having been fatally shot in the head. He is dressed in civilian-looking clothing but wearing a leather cartridge belt, and his rifle is slipping out of his right hand. They had thoughts that the picture was fake. However, one thing is true, the photo was not taken on Cerro Muriano, but at the village of Espejo. Susperregui determined the actual location of the photograph by examining the backgrounds of other photographs

Families. Groups. Individuals. Photographers can take photos of anyone or anything. There are seven types of photographers. Which are portrait, commercial, industrial, aerial, scientific, news, fine arts, and university. Photographers may prepare for one shot with heavy equipment for hours. Every photographer may use one of the six qualities of a photographer which are artistic ability, business skills, computer skills, customer-service skills, detail oriented, and interpersonal skills. To be an exemplary photographer, a person must have a good eye, be artistic, and have patience.

You are only as old as you think you are? This has been said many times and expressed in many distinct formats, however I don’t think it’s ever been as visually interesting as what is depicted in Zachary Scotts Photography. A series of photographs by Zachary Scott depicts toddlers as seniors. Scott and his team used makeup, prosthetics, and photo manipulation to create the effect. The series was done for a New York Times feature on the topic of reverse aging and the connection between the mind and the body. I discovered the work while doing searches for children’s photography. Dalton (2008) I thought these images were both playful and individualistic.

The Brown sisters might gather occasionally together throughout a year, but there is one day out of every year where they have a photograph of them taken to capture their sisterhood. In the beginning of the series of photographs the sisters have a serious case of resting b*tch face. From 1975 to 1979, the sisters all have a hardened expression, and even after that there are occasional smirks, but the same look remains. Each photograph shows the sisters aging, and while they age their appearance becomes softer. This could be because of the experiences they have such as pregnancy and motherhood, or other events that could affect their life, and result in them aging softly. Because one can see the sisters age throughout the course of these photographs,

The Barnes Foundation’s newest exhibition, French Photography 1800-1960, is a collection of photographs that encapsulates life in France during the 19th and 20th centuries. The exhibit features photographs by artists including Ilse Bing, Brassai, and Henri Cartier Bresson. Entering into the exhibit is like taking a trip through time; depending on if you turn left or right at the entrance to the exhibit, you can travel forward through time from the early to the mid 1900s or you can travel backwards. The exhibit is organized by eight different periods and the attitudes that were most prevalent during them. The categories are: Paris and Environs, Street Life, Commerce, Labor, Leisure, Reportage, Celebrity, and Art for Art’s Sake. The exhibit is an enlightening trip through time, highlighting the glamorable life in France in the 19th and 20th centuries, bringing to life artistic movements, culminating in the final intersection of cubism and photography, Brassai’s piece Transmutation: Girl Dreaming being perhaps the brightest star in the collection.

Irving Penn's Two New Guinea Men Holding Hands is a common example of the subject being removed from the environment. (see fig. 1) The photograph taken in Penn's studio is in a style popular among ethnographers; it has been used for years by E.S. Curtis and has recently been refined by Richard Avedon. The background and the studio settings have been criticized widely as "removing subjects from the daily flow of their lives… and cross breeding fashion and anthropology." (Miller 135) The effect of this photograph on memory is to imprint a false image not only of two people but also of an entire culture. Penn's image gives his viewer no idea of how these two men exist in reality. Because of the studio setting, the viewer cannot even safely assume that this is how the two men really dress or interact with each other.
