Most of the time they depict the sublime beauty of the geography or the dynamic of the topography. But what I see in them is where people live. The idea of place being important to who we are doesn't often come to mind when we are asked to analyze ourselves. But place has a huge influence on what we eat, how we dress, our activities, and our lively hoods.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Place is important to culture too. I am apart of the northern Midwestern culture, so my landscape photos are all in the northern heartland.</div><div align="center"><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I love learning about other cultures, and especially the women and the lives they lead.</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Post 9/11 there has been an intense focus on the Middle East, and yet nothing is truly known about the people that live there. Most Americans can say only a few facts, like that they are Islamic and they live in a male dominated society. For me, it's the women of the Middle East that are the most misunderstood by the media. </span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">One photographer who works to tell the story of the women of Iran is Shirin Neshat. Born in Iraq Neshat has the unique position that she is an Iranian women with a western education and an Iranian upbringing. </span></strong><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Neshat takes photos Iranian women and uses symbolism to convey messages about the role they play in their society. A common theme is that she uses sacred or well-known Iranian text written in beautiful calligraphy and paints them directly onto her subjects, in way saying what the women cannot say. Her photos are all about giving s voice to the women of Iran.</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Csuri is his early art career experiment with styles like Cubism and Pop Art, but none of the most traditional tools like paint and canvas appealed to him. Instead he decided to use his computer as a art tool. Before Csuri images create on the computer screen were not considered art with a capital "A". Through many years of experimentation Csuri came up with ways to create 3D graphics and designs in a 2D picture plane with a computer program.</span></strong></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Sherman used the medium of photography and created persona's to raise challenging and controversial questions about the roles and representation of women in society. Her photographs were taken during the 70's, right around the time women in society were reevaluating their position in society and the media. </span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">All of Sherman's photographs are self-portraits that she sets up herself. She always created a narrative that played on issues like the importance of beauty for women or the how women are expected to act. </span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In this particular photograph she is turning away from her "job". You get then sense that she is trapped in the frame, and the pot handle is pointed directly at her heart, which could be considered a foreboding image. Sherman was a genius when setting up a frame, and because digital cameras were not invented yet, she often went threw rolls and rolls of film just to get one shot. </span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div align="center"><strong><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Dorthea Lange is a photographer who documented the Great Depression and the Japanese Americans who were relocated after Pearl Harbor. Dorthea Lange was not afraid of controversy and sought to push truth in a photograph. What made Lange special is that she truly cared about her subjects. She saw inequality and wished to put the reality of what poor and desperate really means in America right into peoples faces. </span></strong><br />

Sally never intended for her work to exhibited, and explained that these photographs of her children were intimate moments between herself and her children. Also, because they lived in hot southern Virgina, it was normal for her children to go shirtless.

She often takes photographs and distorts them on Photoshop. Her subjects bodies are distorted, often enlarging the head and eyes, and elongating the body. She then sets them against an idyllic background or setting, and alters their clothes or props t made them seem unreal or dream-like. Because of her extensive knowledge of color and color theory her photographs have a distinct, unique color palette. Her photographs are often seen as haunting yet intriguing. </strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Arnold was extremely good at setting up a composition in a portrait to tell the story about the person. In <em>Malcolm X</em>, she has Malcolm place his ring in full view with a watch on the same arm, symbolizing the time has come for change. She also has his hand resting on the back of his neck, symbolizing the hardships he is enduring with the weight of the movement of his shoulders. And lastly she has Malcolm staring into a bright light, his gaze symbolizing the bright future ahead. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"><strong>What good are tests?</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifBKSyAPkcBNlhUngflypPI0e5fY7Ga6gChfEbU3ATjpu_VR5wXar1cr1-4NLKruqU3CypgP-pWGT4MmLNFNAVr7FwXH-G9OLen5GasipWDDuDWiAXooy5hS1bVPFzEnJKYXodreWEM9QG/s1600/test.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifBKSyAPkcBNlhUngflypPI0e5fY7Ga6gChfEbU3ATjpu_VR5wXar1cr1-4NLKruqU3CypgP-pWGT4MmLNFNAVr7FwXH-G9OLen5GasipWDDuDWiAXooy5hS1bVPFzEnJKYXodreWEM9QG/s320/test.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I personally do not feel that standardized tests accurately access intelligence. Nor do I feel that the way that the school system is set up and organized benefits ALL students.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I think of our school systems are set up like factory's.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">We are divided up by age. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">We are taught various subjects in timed sections and the same curriculum for everyone.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Then we are further divided up by how well we work with the school system into "good" students and "bad" students.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">For me, school shouldn't be so black and white. Studies show that we all learn and perceive the world differently. I don't believe in "bad" or "stupid" students, I just think that a lot of kids and adults are not given a chance in this "one size fits all" education system. </span></div><br />
<div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial;">And tests are a huge part of the school system that hinders a lot of students form actually learning, because in reality you<em> memorize</em> for a test</span>, <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">instead <em>learning </em>for it. I think more in-class and out of class activities should be offered. By combing hands on learning, we will have a more rounded education. </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Arial;">To better illustrate my point, check out this video featuring the lecture "CHANGING EDUCATION PARADIGMS" by Sir Ken Robinson. </span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, they're is a EXCELLENT book called <a href="http://www.youaresmarterthanyouthink.com/"><strong><em>"You Are Smarter Than You Think"</em></strong></a> that address the problem with schools limiting learning style options and in effect limiting millions of students potential to succeed and learn. </span><br />

<div align="center"><span style="color: white; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This is straight up my most favorite book ever.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="color: white; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It's is a nonfiction that illustrates a fundamental new understanding of human nature. A scientific revolution has occurred; we have learned more about the human brain in the last thirty years than we had in the previous three thousand. The unconscious mind, it turns out, is most of the mind—not a dark, vestigial place but a creative and enchanted one, where most of the brain’s work gets done. This is the realm of emotions, intuitions, biases, longings, genetic predispositions, personality traits, and social norms: the realm where character is formed and where our most important life decisions are made. Our brain is now computing the media on a daily basis, and more and more everyday it effects who you are. Can the media help us find success or hinder us?</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #999999;">New ways of thinking about the complexities of gender, race, class, and sexuality evolved.

They are a great historical footnote in media history because for the first time women were able to bring their suppressed voices to a mass audience. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New;"><a href="http://www.anseladams.com/anseladams_biography_s/51.htm">Ansel Adams</a> is one of the most significant photographers that has ever picked up a camera.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New;">Adams revolutionized photography. Before him, photography was resented in the art world. It was seen as a cheap, easy way to create an image, and therefor it wasn't considered a fine art. Adams changed all that. He cultivated a style of photography that used sharp focus, high contrast, and carefully composed compositions to capture the raw, untouched beauty of nature. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New;">Ansel Adams had a personal philosophy that the place you grew up or lives shapes you. So he was a advocate for protecting the environment and was inspired by beautiful landscapes.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New;">His work went even further to benefit our country. Because Adams took pictures our national park ands natural landmarks, and</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Courier New;"> brought attention to how some places should be protected from development and logging.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
