Hey class,

Here is the photo I was talking about in class. The photographer watched and waited for the vulture to enter the frame to take this photo. He was awarded the Pulitzer prize for this photo. A year later the photographer committed suicide. We can’t say why he did it, but I think its worth mentioning.

The debate this photo brings up is interesting. When taking photos what is your roll? Many people criticize the photographer for thinking about his work before saving a dying child’s life. But another thing to consider about the photo is what its saying and what its doing. We are brought in to a reality of third world country. Maybe this photo would strike empathy in most.

Let me know what you think.

I’ve always enjoyed this Photo Blog.

I not the biggest fan of Polaroid film, but I feel this blog posts some unique combinations using the format of Polaroids.

I’m just guessing, but the majority of the photos submitted are digital recreations of Polaroids. Also a large portion of the photos seem to be screen shots of pornographic films; placing these images into a faded Polaroid frame seem to give the typically vulgar images a romance and timeless vibe.

Of course they have other submission than just sexy Polaroids. There is plenty of good artworks here. Check it out, but if you don’t take well to nudity and vulgarity steer clear.
