CONFLICT PHOTOGRAPHER

Finding that many friends and family members at the cooperative he had helped to form were dead or dying of tuberculosis, he stayed in New York. He initiated contact with Brady and came to work for him that year, continuing until 1862. At first, Gardner specialised in making large photographic prints, called Imperial photographs, but as Brady’s eyesight began to fail, Gardner took on increasing responsibilities. In 1858, Brady put him in charge of the Brady's washington, D.C.gallery

work as conflict photographer 

You are expected to provide your own SLR style digital camera and a laptop with editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or Light room, just as if you were on an editorial assignment. Each workshop will have some additional requirements such as appropriate clothing, medicines etc. A full packing list will be provided to you before your departure.

To become a better conflict photographer you need to look up on the Internet to know what is going on in the world and you go there to take pictures its big risk you taking for your life but it’s a good pay.

Photograph: is it art?

                                         Photograph: is it art?

I used to think it wasn't because you're just capturing a moment. You're not creating a fantasy world or physically replicating something (as in drawing or painting from real life). But there's more to photography than just pointing and shooting. There's the exposure levels, the angle, and at the end, the editing.

A good photographer takes into account the same things that a painter does: lighting, composition, form, value, colour, texture, and so forth. A good photograph is more than a representation of an object: it is interesting, it says something about the subject, it invites inquiry, and it has beauty.

Not everyone has an eye for photography. Many people walk through life and don't notice the small things that say big things.. They wouldn't think to go at it at this angle to get the most meaning out of the picture. For example; you could see a bent nail sticking out of the floor and not care that it's there. Or maybe it is a problem, so you point and shoot to show it to the carpenter to get it fixed.

Then there's the daring factor. Are you brave enough to go out there and get that great shot? Or are you too timid to walk out there, so you stay in the back and just get what comes by.. That boldness is an art.

Anything that helps you express what is inside you can be considered art. There are a lot of photographers who spend just as much time on a photo as a painter does on a painting.

Some times Photography is a complicated art form. Sure, anyone can take a picture and call themselves a photographer. It's no different then someone painting a picture and calling themselves a painter.

It takes more then lucks to get a good picture. Sure some photos are the right place at the same time, but conceptual and macro, and other posed types of photography take skill to achieve. Even if it is being in the right place and the right time, you can't just snap the photo and call it a masterpiece. It's a matter of getting the right settings in order to produce something beautiful. You can't just turn on a camera and expect to take a masterpiece, just as you can't expect to buy some paint and a canvas and paint like Van Gogh.

perhaps not the snap shots that parents take of their kids, or that tourists snap of things that will be sentimental to them and only them (although a few may be lucky to have the elements of a good photograph), but photography (if done correctly) can be one of the most meaningful and powerful forms of art there is.
In a way, photography is a more personal form of paper art (I don’t know if that's the correct term, but art that you draw) it takes the world’s natural beauty and turns it into something breathtaking for all to see.

You can't just take a picture, and call it photography. you have to see and feel the image which is being photographed. it has to mean something to you.
I think art is a form of expression. just like music is art. i love both, and consider both to be art.

So consider this, For photography to have its place in the world of Art, it must have within it that quality of having been achieved by the hand of a competent Artist, along with the hand of a technically competent photographer. Many technical photographers do magnificent work in the way of recording what the world has, but only Artist-photographers can do work that can hold its place in Art salons and Collections.

I say It depends on who's behind the camera...if a true artist composes the picture, then it will be art and you'll know it. Some photography is not art. Any form of expressing yourself is an art. Photography is not always art, but there is art in photography.

 

one week task experimental

Some people say cooking comes naturally to them. I say I never paid attention to cooking before I got my own flat (and I still sometimes don’t :))

Some people say cooking is stress buster to them; I nod my head in agreement and realize if it is daily “job” its stress increasing for me. BUT the most fun I get is from creating my own version of dishes – new dishes. They say tradition recipes are the best and I say the best dishes are those made and served with love.

Speaking of new dishes my mind always wanders into creating some new recipes, the only thing that complies me to do it is I easily get bored cooking same thing every day. So when I bought Spring onions this time in the back ground of my mind new ideas started growing and the first idea that came to my mind is why not make ZIGNI (Eritrean traditional food). 

And this picture was taken by canon camera in my friend’s house. The dimensions was 265 x 190 the width was 265 pixels the height was 190 pixels the Horizontal resolution 96 dpi.
