Great Black and white photographers Pt.3

Photo "Chicago trees in snow"
This first photo caught my eye, because it just looks so unnatural , and weird.
Sight. If I where to be in the moment of when this picture was taken, I would see a very peaceful place, where nothing really is.
Taste. If I were to be in the moment that this photo was taken. I would taste the crisp cold air.
And the cold air when I breathe in and out.
Touch.
I would feel the cold on the edge of my winter attire keeping me warm in cozy, while walking in the frigid frozen weather.
Sound. I would hear silence. And if not silence than more like the natural since that nature provides,
the sound that the law of a distant bird, or the sound of water running.
Smell.
I would smell the cold air.I also think that when its winter, the trees and the grass just give off a different smell, one that is unique from  the other seasons.
What really caught my eye when I first saw this photo, was the unique form that the shadow gives.
It took me some time to figure out what the shadow was of.
Hear
When I look at this photo, I imagine hearing the roaring sound of boats. And the breaks of calm when no ship is near, and its just water.
Sight.
I would see behind me, a big city skyline, with lights everywhere. But in front of me is a vast Lake Michigan, and the reflection off the water.
Smell.
If I were to be there, I would smell the very distinct smell of any shore or lake. The aurora of just fish, that fish smell is how you know your near a big lake.
Feel
I would feel a wall of concrete, that is tall. I would also feel that general moisture feel you get when your near a large body of water, especially the great lakes.
Taste.
You can almost taste the fish when your near a large lake. You would also taste the crisp clear air, and how it goes down into your chest as yo breather

Harry Callahan( Black and White Masters Of Photography Pt.2)

Harr Morey Callahan was born in Detroit Michigan, on October 22nd 1912. Callahan studied Chemical engineering, and business at Michigan State University, before taking a job at Chrysler in 1936. Callahan started his career as an amateur photography, and then two years later joined Chrysler's Camera Club in 1938. Another two years later joined Detroit's photo guild in 1941, after a workshop with Ansel Adam. Soon after Callahan devoted his career solely to photography. After gaining a strong enough reputation, he was invited to teach at Chicago's Institute of Design. Callahan's pictures often displayed his wife Eleanor, and just random pedestrians that he found and photographed them. Harry Callahan died, March 15th 1999.

Selfie Vs Self-Portrait

When reading about the differences between selfies, and self portraits it can be somewhat difficult to find what sets the two apart. Selfies are big now because we have the access to take them, we just have to take our phone out, and poof it is a selfie of us and maybe others.  I think the main difference is what the two are suppose to mean to others. With a selfie it's purpose might be to display some time or occasion, something that has happened. Whereas in a self portrait your not just taking a picture of yourself. In a self portrait you have to make careful descisions to achieve what you think is good. A self-portrait is can give insight into who is the subject, who is behind the camera, and what they are like, and what their life is like, and what they're feeling.  I don't really have a preference between the two, both can be very good. I would have to say just because of the abundance of selfies today, I would like to see more self-portraits.
