This photo is by Eugene Atget. The technique that was used in this picture is film. I like this picture because it has good textures with the trees and the building. There is a lot of emphasis on the building because it looks like it is sticking out from the rest of the scenery. I also like how the water in this picture is so still that it looks like glass. There is also really good contrast in this photograph between the light and dark. @http://www.atgetphotography.com/The-Photographers/Eugene-Atget.html

This Photo is by Ansel Adams. The technique used in this picture is film. I liked this picture because it has a good use of space, there's really nowhere in this picture that doesn't have something going on. There is also a lot of texture used in this photo between the canyon sides and the clouds. There's good movement in this picture too, it flows together well, the clouds look like they are moving and the canyon sides all look rounded. @http://www.archives.gov/research/ansel-adams/

This photo is by Henri Cartier-Bresson. The technique used in this picture is film. I like this photo because it has great texture, it uses up all the space and it was taken at a really cool angle. The texture of the bricks in the picture make it look very old. It also portrays movement with the bicyclist. @http://www.sfmoma.org/exhib_events/exhibitions/409

This photo is by Micheal Kenna. The technique used in this picture is digital. Micheal Kenna is one of my favorite photographers, I really like his work because it is very surreal and almost calming. The space he uses is good because the isn't one area in his pictures that doesn't have something there. It also has some really good balance between the foreground, middle ground and background. The amount of emphasis he uses in the foreground is really cool and even though it is in black and white it really makes the photo pop. @http://minimalissimo.com/2009/08/michael-kenna/

This photo is by Galen Rowell. The technique that was used in this photo is digital. I love this picture because it has such great colors and a really good use of shape throughout it. I love how you can see the sun setting on the rocks in the background; I think it complements the flowers and plants in the front of the picture. There's alot of good movement in the background on the rocks too. They flow together rather than being jagged like most people think of rocks. @http://www.nwf.org/News-and-Magazines/National-Wildlife/PhotoZone/Archives/2002/American-Beauty.aspx

This picture is by Martin Parr. The techniques he uses in a majority of his pictures are c-print. His pictures are interesting because in most of them his focal point (a person) has their face blocked from the camera somehow. He usually really emphasizes whatever he uses to cover their face. In this picture for example, the hat on the man almost seems to be popping of the screen; it almost doesn't seem lifelike and in some ways it could almost be abstract. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/photobooth/2012/08/on-the-beach-with-martin-parr.html#slide_ss_0=1
