ShutterBug Websites

I chose to look at Lens, the photographic journalism section of the New York Times. Lens seems to have more focus on what the photographers are doing and on what they're picturing. For example the featured story on the site today is about a photographer trying to capture an old neighborhood of Chicago before it changes due to the rapid gentrification in city. The site likes to give background information not only what is in the photos, but why the photos were taken what is the photographers goal. The site even tells the story of how the photographers ended up at two drive by shootings in Chicago. I think the average viewer can get a lot of information not only about photography stuff, but some things about the world itself, and how it is today. I would recommend this site, just because its kinda unique and it gives a different balance and level of information in its articles.

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.
