history based on the discrimination against African Americans at that time. This ideology of segregation was especially enforced by the U.S. Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. The case starts with Homer Plessy’s decision to sit on the white only side on the railroads even though he is a person of color. Plessy ended up being arrested for his refusal of sitting on the seats for African Americans since it is a Louisiana law to use facilities designed for one’s race. To defend…

and clarity. One thing I admire about Michael is that no matter the commercial client he still has the same black and white simple style photos; he doesn’t change to fit the commercial brand he sticks to his brand. Michael states that he believes, “black and white is immediately more mysterious because we see in color all the time. It is quieter than color. I am a pushover for black and white photos, and that is primarily what Michael Kenna shoots. I found it interesting that he shoots most of…

Swing combined harmonic sophistication with danceable rhythms and compelling individual…
