Mega Assignment part 2

So, yesterday Ms. Silverman gave us our two part assignment.
the first part was to find a photoshop trick that you didnt know, try it out and blog about it.
the second was find a photographer and blog about their photography, as long as you liked what you saw. I decided to do the second part first because, im cool like that, and because if you know me at all you know that im picky with what i do.
I chose Mary Ellen Mark because I find her work very humourus and simple.




Mary Ellen Mark focuses manly on social issues like homelessness, loneliness, drug addiction, and prostitution. She works primarily in black and white. She is better known for her photojournalism,portraiture, and advertising photography.



Mark's photographs speak to you and touch a place in your heart. When I was looking through her photos I found that she had really, cute and heart warming pictures. Mary Ellen shoots a lot of movies capturing perfect moments that are never to be forgotten.This photo inperticularly, shows that there's a lot of tension with all the people maybe as if their at a funeral and this one man, is just goofing off, making faces to this man who maybe is his boss or even father.

Mary Ellen Mark has some very intense photos that make you open your eyes to what's around you and what's going on in the world. So check her out because she's a photographer you don't wanna miss out on.
