Emily Dickinson, an American poet, created true works of art that often had ambiguous meaning. Dickinson’s poetry continuously constructed dominant images that, needless to say, didn’t need illustrations. Emily Dickinson’s Civil War poems specifically, contain descriptions of graphic images that also fit well with the photo taken by American Photographer, Timothy H. O’Sullivan.…

Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp’s photo Marcel Duchamp as Rrose Selavy did more than just represent the change occurring in gender roles during the time of its creation in the United States during the 1920s. This photo and the others of Marcel Duchamp as Rrose Selavy influenced many artists including Yasumasa Morimura.

Intentionally or not war photography tended to focus on the victimization that war creates. While in some cases this may be true about war, there are also other reasons for fighting. What about the freedoms and rights, that as Americans, we are privileged to have? What about the land…

What would the world be like without photography? Well to begin with it wouldn’t be anywhere near to what we have converted it into currently. We wouldn’t be able to capture memories or beautiful views, nor would we be able to pass on certain ideas for educational purposes. But, brilliant people such as Mo-ti to Eugene F. Larry, brought all their ideas together like a chain and contributed to the development of the camera. The concept of creating images besides drawing them started hundreds…

Pedigree took a different approach with a recent ad and presented the importance of relationships between a dog and their owner.

Boudoir Shoot The common saying I almost always apply towards myself is, “You are your own biggest critique.” I am getting married in December, so I decided I should do something to bless my future husband. I was completely uncomfortable with this idea and wasn’t going to do it, but this assignment encouraged me to venture out of my comfort zone. I wanted to give boudoir photos to him before the wedding day as my wedding gift. But, I did not want to have someone take pictures of my half naked…
