In’ War Photographer’, Duffy uses an oxymoronic title to contrast ‘war’ with suffering and death with a ‘photographer’ as life, peace and memories to present life and death. To highlight the contrast, the poem is laid out in four regular six-line stanzas. This rigid structure shows that the job of a photographer is methodological and systematic in the way he sets out the film - “spools of suffering” and “in ordered rows” to restore order on the destruction and bloodshed of “The hundred agonies”…

What, me a rose photographer? No, I am a botanist, plant physiologist and plant pathologist. At least that is all that I thought I was until 24 years ago when my passion for the beautiful roses led me on a slightly different journey to an evacuation in rose photography. It has been an interesting and rewarding trek, but perhaps I should start at the very beginning. Many, many eons ago, when I was 6 years old, my mother helped me plant my first rose. She instilled in me a love for all types of…

The Role of Photographers During the Civil Rights Movement The Civil Rights Movement took place from 1954 to 1968 in the southern states of the United States and was a struggle by African Americans to achieve Civil Rights equal to those of whites, including equal opportunity in employment, housing, education, the right to vote, equal access to public facilities, and be free of racial discrimination.

War Photographer is a poem by Carol Ann Duffy. This poem was created for a person she was close friends with, Don McCullin, a famous “war photographer”. She emphasises the idea of the persona she talks about in “War Photographer” as a photographer for a newspaper, who takes his job very seriously, but falters when looking back. She also extend that through the talk about the wars and contrasting it to a casual Sunday in England. The poem begins with a depiction of the war picture taker…

In my Houston baby photographer studio, there are times when session are taken outdoors. These are some of my favorite sessions. Rob and Jasmine's little one, Henry, had an outdoor session in a field near the studio recently. The light in the field is incredible. The images taken in the field are always gorgeous, but even the lovely view in the field couldn't compete with Henry. He was so precious. Mom and Dad say that their little man is sitting on his own for the most part. He babbles and…

My encounter with George Cotkin's text starts under a most unexpected premise: In his essay “The Photographer in the Beat-Hipster Idiom: Robert Frank's The Americans” , in which Cotkin carves out the connections between Robert Frank and the philosophies of the Beat movement artists, the most surprising statement appears quite at the beginning: Almost all theorists, says Cotkin, who have so far reviewed and analyzed Frank's work, have done so without paying closer attention to said link between…

Continuing my newborn photographer relationship beyond the baby years is one of the perks for returning clients. I love seeing how the little ones have grown from the first few weeks. This family came into my studio when Eli was just a tiny guy. Adam and Heather are still head-over-heels in love with their boy. At the time of this session, little Eli was 14 months. There's no strict timeline for these kinds of sessions. It's completely up to the parents. This cake smash session started without…

Robert Mapplethorpe was one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. Coming in on the scene in the nineteen-sixties, Mapplethorpe was considered scandalous and controversial at best. Most of his work had been seen as homoerotic or simply just pornographic. Instead of looking at his work from this perspective however, I will be taking the stance of his work as being technically beautiful as well as arguing that he uses photography to push our popular perceptions of sexuality and…
