Ever since the invention of cameras in 1839, the photographic image and its steady progression has molded reality. The book On Photography by Susan Sontag, is a book of many ideologies and aspects. The main aspect of this book is how pure reality is being captured through photography.

Emmaline Bennett Equilibrium 1 “But one day the ‘why’ arises and everything begins in that weariness tinged with amazement...” April 1957. Seven years after the screaming came across the sky. I’m standing in front of a mirror in a bathroom at the Stanford University Medical Center, trying to look for something—some kind of recognition, some kind of familiarity, some kind of life.

Nobody is perfect, so everyone all makes mistakes. Human created history and even historical failures. Some people believe that we usually repeat what we did wrongly before. It sounds similar to the British author George Bernard Shaw’s idea: “We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.” However, in my opinion, that idea is completely not correct, because we must learn something from the mistakes we made in the past, so that we would not do them one more time at the present or in the

During the crucial days and weeks in the summer of 1945, American officials from President Harry S. Truman on down, sought out a strategy to save as many U.S. soldiers and sailors lives as possible.

The Cold war occurred around the end of the 19th century, it tightened the already strangling hold around the US and USSR (Russia) relationship. The two great nations came within seconds of launching an all out nuclear war on each other; the scene was observed by all and feared by all.

The Vietnam War was a 20 year dispute over the political power struggle, unification, and spread of communism in their newly independent country. Northern Vietnam, officially known as the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, fought alongside their communist allies, the Soviet Union and China, for what they viewed as their independence and unity of Vietnam. The nationalists of the Republic of South Vietnam fought alongside the US and their other allies in the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO)

I grew up camping in the mountains, more specifically the mountains in North Carolina. I have also done some camping at various beaches. I can tell you that both types of camping are incredible.
