I think its acceptable because on one picture her teeth look pretty and white, her smile even looks perfect. But on the other picture her teeth are all messed up and brown, her smile doesn't look so great. I think in these pictures their just showing a difference.

National Geographic.



This picture is my favorite and it caught my eye, because of both sides of the picture. One side looks so calm and quiet, while the other side looks like there's commotion going on. Then, there's that couple sitting there, and i notice he has his arm around her, as in romance. It's sweet.


Think about your world, what photo would you take to submit to this photo contest. This photo, can show much can on in the world, maybe even explain someones feelings.

TOUCHING PEOPLE.



 This picture caught my eye big time. I like it, because it shows a lot of emotion, and a lot going on. It also shows how much the world has improved, from back then to now. It shows how much love there is in this world. 



I love this picture, and it caught my eye BIG time. This is like my favorite out of all them. This photo to me personally, is intense, shows a lot of emotion as well. It also shows romance, with the couple on the floor. I think this picture made it, because how much is going on, but it's only focused on once thing.


This picture got my attention because of the little boy crying. I can tell that he has lost someone important to him, and i know exactly what that feels like. Its not the best feeling, but who ever that person was to this little boy, made something big in his life.

Imogen Cunningham.

Imogen Cunningham

Cunning ham was born Portland, Oregon in 1883. In 1901, at the age of eighteen, Cunningham bought her first camera, a 4x5 inch, from the American School of Art in Scranton, Pennsylvania. She soon lost interest and sold the camera to a friend. It wasn’t until 1906, while studying at the University of Washington in Seattle, that she was inspired by an encounter with the work of Gertrude Käsebier, to take up photography again. With the help of her chemistry professor, Dr. Horace Byers, she began to study the chemistry behind photography and she subsidized her tuition by photographing plants for the botany department.
Cunningham continued to take photographs until shortly before her death at age ninety-three on June 24, 1976 in San Francisco, California.
