crude lenses. It was used for entertainment and often times, education, for all ages. It remained very popular until motion toys came about and soon the concept of “persistence of vision” came forth, in which it is “the eye's capacity to retain an image even after it has been removed”.

Alfred Stieglitz was an inspirational photographer who understood how to capture moments that expressed his feelings towards his models,…

The picture I chose is of me in Colorado, taking a senior picture. I chose it because I think it makes me look good. People choose to present themselves in a way that’s seemingly more aesthetically pleasing than the other people they interact with, or because they want to feel good about themselves when they post it. I chose it because it caught what I perceive as the best view of me - externally. Photos only focus on the external and what’s skin deep. My skin was filtered to be clearer. I can…

During this time period, photography was often regarded as an objective record of truth and reality, a notion that Le Gray challenged in performing this manipulation. In addition, by working with two separate negatives, Le Gray was able to overcome the inability of early…
