Whealan’s argument is convincing and in fact is relevant to the scenario during in the photograph. The photographer Gallagher who questioned the authenticity of Capa’s photo probably mistaken Capa for another photographer. The war photograph I believe is authentic because it was shot from a distance and the movement of the falling soldier seems impossible to stage. I do think authenticity matters because a photograph like this captures the attention of the mass should not be deceiving.

Capa’s work look a little bit stage but in my opinion I think they are not, he work hard to show the people the struggle of the Spanish war and what the soldier when through. his arguments were convincing to me; photographers need to have authenticity in their work so people can trust their picture. also authenticity matter in all professional work not only in photographs.

Is just so weird what this artists ask for for example, why would you want cheese on top of ice, what is the problem if the cheese sweat a little is not that big of the deal. I think most of this artists ask for this weird foods and i’m almost sure that they don’t eat half of it, they just ask for it to look fancy.

I think that all the kids that were on the article eat more healthy than an american kid. american breakfast are too sugary in my opinion, kids need vitamins,minerals and proteins that you cannot find it donuts or muffin, i also think that kids can learn more or less in school depending in what are they eating at home. a good breakfast to me should include fruits and milk, does are really good and rich in vitamins.

I think this tres leches look delish because of its shiny color and because the tres leches cake melts in my mouth as I try it, sticky with fudge frosting on my tongue. The bitter and simultaneously sweet smell of it puts me in a serene mind state. With the rich deep shades of the frosting on top of delicious layers of condensed milk. this cake acts as a slice of happiness on a white styrofoam plate. the beautiful frosting tastes as great as it looks.

Henry Hargreaves took an interesting approach towards each photography reflecting each celebrity’s tour request and led us to a glimpse of their life on tour. Each photograph reflects the celebrity’s personality based on the photo’s backdrop, set ups and caption. I enjoy this topic of discussion because it is food photography related and Henry Hargreaves took food photography to the next level. I like the creativity that was shown because each photograph tells a story not just through food but from the celebrities’ non- food necessities as well.

The film resembles to the practice of The Moving Image. I am very impressed with the special effects that were put into the moon and the overall production, consider the fact that it was made in 1902. The film camera made the movement on the screen seems sped up. Not every movement was clear in fact it seems like the actors were walking and acting funny. The similarities were of course the effects that the photographic and film camera produce and the difference is that the film camera gets to record everything live.

After viewing the Photographs, they are similar to the FSA photography such as the photographer Walker Evans  and Dorothea Lange because both of their photograph represents the poverty that has happened during the dustbowl. Many Americans do not live in California to know about the drought conditions that has impacted the farm or know that these fruits/crop products were harvested in California. Due to the cut of water of water in the central vally many farmers were failing to continue growing and producing their crops. This has affected the supplies towards our agricultural which leads to no supplies to harvest.

The recent events that have taken place here in the United States, resonate deeply with me as the mother of a biracial teenager, as a resident of Staten Island as a citizen of the United States but most importantly as a human being. Although I briefly studied the events that took place at Kent State many years ago, I don’t think the situation or Filo’s image touched me as deeply then, as it did when we viewed it this week in class. The photograph by Filo and the many by Olsen, for me represent an imagery of our Federal and State governments that simply should not be. An attack on citizens of the United States by military and militarized police is extremely difficult for me to fathom despite the photographic evidence shared by both photographers and my personal experiences here in NYC this past week. Further troublesome, was to learn that there is a desire to remove the topic of Kent State from our textbooks as if an instance of sheer brutality, inflicted on American citizens by the very people sworn to protect them, can simply be erased from our history books. It only makes me wonder what will be written in the textbooks about the protests of 2014, forty-five years from now.

Matt Black’s photographs documenting the California drought and the effects it has had on the “Fruit Bowl” of America is extremely reminiscent of the FSA photographs of the dust bowl, the dry and dire conditions are near identical. Scarier still is the fact that American farmers appear to have learned little from the destruction over farming caused to the Great Plains during the 1930’s.The depletion of the Central Valley’s aquifers (the natural wells that sit underground) has been a topic of conversation among government officials and farmers for many years, yet little to nothing has been done aside from the more conscious farmers who converted their farming practices into sustainable ones. The fact that the problem existed, was discussed and still ignored allowing the drought to only further complicate a terrible situation, I fear that it will not be until the faucets run dry that the people of California will pay attention.
