1.I picked the image 99 cent by Andreas Gursky. I picked 99 cent as one of my 5 photos, because when your are scrolling through the top 100 page, this photo just catches your eye. I think this photo catches your eye so well, because of all the colors, and how it just pops.

2.The photo is of a store, and displays all the rows and ials of goods, and then there is the reflection of everything in the back wall. This photo seems to capture a part of daily life, by taking something people see often, and giving it a new angle or meaning .
3. When looking at the additional information, on the photo. You learn that this picture is of a 99 cent store, only in Los Angeles. At the time it was sold, it held the record for the most expensive piece of contemporary photography of all time, and sold at auction at 2.3 million dollars. The record has since been surpassed.

In the second video, it shows us what people do to models in after shooting. In the video, they make changes to then shape of the models face, how tall they are, changing their skin tone, and overall I would say the most noticeable change is they make the model glow. 3. In the third video, the creators show us the photoshop process in reverse. What was originally a piece of pizza is turned into a model. Something that I think the people who made the video were trying to tell people that anything can be beautiful through photoshop. What they did is basically c...
