My next picture is of Julius Shulman's Case Study House no. 22, Los Angeles
I picked this picture, because it looked interesting, and it made me want to get a closer look. I think what drew me eyes to it, was the light  and clean look inside, and  the dark and grittiness of the  outside.
2. This photo is of a house with a class overlook area. The rest of the photo is of what they're overlooking, which is an amazing breathtaking view over a city scape.
3.When you look into the additional information on this photo, you find that this photo was part of a series of photos documenting an architectural experiment done, this is case study house 22 out of 36 hence the name. You find that this photo had influence on what it meant to be successful, instead of the picket fences of before, you had a beautiful house over looking all of hollywood.

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.
