Minor White:Paying homage



         I'm paying homage to Minor White because of his photos having a textual feeling to making them  you know how they feel. His photos shows spiritual side of the natural world,but also his photos have symbols of emotions in the photos. The photos has a recognition to them showing emotional factors that make the viewer seem they have a direct feeling towards it. I think his photos is what pulled me in to paying homage to him.

Minor white:photographer life




                     Minor White's photos deal with having textural and using tone that produce more beauty. He was great using medium within  his pictures expressing a deal of self-expression. In most of his photos, did not do what most artist did but tried to make it seem like the photo had a spirituality to them. White had been an assistant to Ansel adams, while working with him he had started the magazine called "aperture" with other people working. He later than succeeded Adams, then became a teacher at the fine arts school and also worked at the Rochester Institute of Photography.

American photography:A Century of Images Notes

Photography had started in the 1890's or early 1900's. The first camera had been the box camera, which came out in 1900.

Part I:
      

        Before photography had started, there were drawings of family instead of photo's. When photography started it became part of everyone's life, it made memories for those of the past. Later on there was not only pictures of people but also of desired objects. These desired objects had a sense of fantasy to them even though they were real.
                                                                           Part II:
       Most of photography had been part magazines which show people of america what kind of things had happened in world. World War I was an example of how people had gone through the war. Many of the war photos showed horrible images of injured or dead people. Of course these pictures were hard to look at because of the kinds of things that happened.

     Ever since photography became part of everyday life it became more advanced. Photography had been developed into digital photography by using computers to enhanced photos.
