Henry Fox Talbot is a photographer that also took black and white photos, this Castle photo exposes its rich historic history. I think if he was to take a color picture, it would still be good just will not have the same impact. i realize he did not have a choice in taking a picture in color, but thats a good thing.

This photo of a door way and a broom is a documentary and testament of how life was, it reminds me not to take the conviences of life for granted, even if  its a not.f00014

Edward Stiechan is a photograper, I was at Museum of Photographic Art and I saw this exibit, I like the style Edward has in his work. In any photo you can see that he captures the subjects in a dramatic style. Black and white photos tend to do that, but it seems that the subject was meant to be in a black and white photo.26steichen

This photo is great because in black and white the wrinkles are much more detailed. The age is moreprevelant of the subject and his face and beard are more balanced in black and white.

The skyscraper is very dramatic the perspective makes it look taller. The windows and corners are better seen in black and white. I enjoyed the exibit, its a shame they only had several pieces of his work.

I went to botanical gardens to see what pictures i could take. Its cold and rainy and i got lost looking for it. The light was poor because of the clouds, but i thought since I am already nearby I should look at it.dscn24311

These flowers showed good color even though it was cloudy. I like the texture of the leaves as well as the shape.dscn2425

These look like bells, they look a little dull. However the shape and the way they hang off the tree looks nice. The yellow color was warm enough to make the picture look okay in spite of the rain. soon the sky got worse and it started getting cold and windy. Weird because at this time of year it should be warmer ans sunny. The tour was cut short because the rain got worse.
