Blog Review 4/2: Phil Moore

This week, I found a photographer named Phil Moore.  As I was scrolling through boooooom.com, his photographs brought different emotions to me. I enjoy photos of people or places that bring me strong emotions. There was a photo that Moore caught of some troops in the back of an army truck while it was raining. They looked so miserable but you have to think how proud and brave they are to be not just fighting for their country, but going through all of the challenges that lie ahead of them. Whether they are happy or sad emotions that photographs bring me, I think it is awesome that one single shot can change your feelings in a second. I hope to be able to take a photo like that someday that can change the way someone sees a place or change their emotions (hopefully in a happy way).

Blog Review 3/26: Benoit Paille

This week, I found a skilled photographer that goes by the name Benoit Paille.  As I was scrolling through triangletriangle.com, one of his photographs caught my eye. I love night photography and I though this photo was gorgeous. It was a photo of the night sky through some trees that were shaded red. I haven't done a lot of night photography but I really enjoy seeing other people's work featuring it. What I like most is his photos make me question how he did them and where he was when he shot them. His gallery on flickr is truly inspirational to me.

Blog Review 3/12: Jan Piotrowicz's "Ebisu Canal"

This week, I found an article called "Ebisu Canal" by Jan Piotrowicz. I really enjoy night photography. I haven't done a lot of it but I enjoy seeing other people's work. I usually favor night landscape photography but I decided to look at some night city photographs. As I was scrolling through the articles, I saw three photos that really caught my eye. They were of a canal running through Tokyo.Throughout the article, Piotrowicz talked about how Tokyo has a certain look to it at night. It sort of has a modern yet run down look to it. The canal running through the city was built to give the city it's look. Overall, I really enjoyed the photos and the meaning behind the canal.

Blog Review 3/5: Paula Kepfer's "From the Earth to the Moon: Vintage NASA Photographs"

This week, I am introducing an article called "From the Earth to the Moon: Vintage NASA Photographs" by Paula Kupfer. This article's title stood out to me. I have always found that anything that has to do with space is very interesting to me. Throughout the article, Kupfer talked about how unique these hidden images are, Over 600 of these vintage photos will be auctioned off as digital prints in London. I think it is pretty awesome that people will finally be able to see these exclusive photographs.

Blog Review 2/26: Graham Bowley and Robert Mackey's "Destruction of Antiquities by ISIS Is Denounced."

For this week, I am introducing destruction of antiquities in a museum in Middle East Mosul. Graham Bowley and Robert Mackey's article, "Destruction of Antiquities by ISIS Is Denounced." stood out to me for some strange reason. Maybe it is because of the word ‘destruction’ in the title. Throughout the article, they spoke about how awful it was to be destroying ancient art to get to hidden valuables. When it comes to the destruction of art, I agree with the writers. This is a selfish desire for money and riches. If there were another way to get the treasures out of the sculptures without completely destroying them, then maybe I would have a different opinion.
