Black and White Photographers pt. 3

1. I think that I chose the pictures I chose because of the people in them.  I think that I wanted to pick them because Joel Meyerowitz showed those people and the  world around them.

New York, 1963 Joel Meyerowitz 

NYC New Year's Eve, 1965 Joel Meyerowitz
2. In the first photo titled New York, 1963 by Joel Meyerowitz, I see a kid probably not wanting to get in the car. I see a man holding open the door. I also see the seemingly bland buildings in the back. I smell the city, and the smell of taxi exhaust. I smell the musty inside or the car and maybe an air freshener. I also smell the cologne of the man holding open the door.I hear cars and taxis honking their horns. I hear the sounds of people talking and walking. Also, I hear the person urging the child to get into the car. I taste the smoke in the air, crisp air of what seems like fall because of her coat. I taste the dust inside of the car. I also taste the persons strong cologne. I feel maybe excited to get this kind of photo. Also, I might feel pity for the kid. But meanwhile, I might also feel irritated by the kid's fit. In the second photo titled NYC New Year's Eve, 1965 also by Joel Meyerowitz I see a couple taking the opportunity to kiss in from of the movie sign in the middle of  the New York bustle. I see people talking with other people and moving in a fast manner. I see trench coats and hats. I smell several people's perfumes and colognes. I think I would also smell popcorn and movie snacks. I smell taxi exhaust. I hear several people talking and several people's feet hitting the concrete. I hear someone calling out prices for movie tickets. I also hear cars in the background and commotion due to New Year's Eve. I taste the car fumes in the air. I can taste the popcorn. Also I can taste the dust from people's coats kind of like a grandma's coat closet. I feel content and excited for the New Year. I also feel enticed by the scene of this image. I feel like that day was a good day.
3. I think it would be a good idea to show Joel through his photographs. That was probably what he wanted to show, so it would be cool to hang his pictures up anywhere. Like putting random picture and facts so it is different from those other informational posters.

The Camera

1) The camera obscura effect is an optical effect. You can achieve this effect in a completely dark room using a hole in the wall and a light . The hole acted as a lens when the light was focused and the  outside image was projected upside down on the wall. It was the first camera. 2) Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens got a better understanding of optics, and learned how to make higher quality lenses to make a better camera. 3) In 1827 , Joseph Nicephore Niepce added film to create the first successful photograph. He used a glass lens, a dark box, and a film. 4) Modern cameras still have some of the same features as the old ones. Light still has to pass through the lens and into the camera, and the end result is still a photograph. 5) More modern digital cameras use an electronic sensor called a CCD. The photographs are then stored on a reusable computer memory device. It makes the cameras cheaper and more environmentally friendly! 6) In manual camera mode, the photographer has t
