Eggleston

I never knew that the colored photography was considered inappropriate until the 1970's. I learned this from reading and watching the video about M. Eggleston. I would like to learn more on how he was able to allow colored photography. I am sure that there had been other photographers who tried to take colored photographs fro certain things such as news articles or campaigns.  I am very glad that colored photography is allowed now. Although black and white photographs show a lot of detail but when you add color to them it completely changes the meaning of the photograph.

Annie Leibovitz

Leibovitz was also another one of my favorite photographers. It was interesting to read how she was always taking black and white photos and that it was really the only way she knew. When the Rolling Stones switched to colored photography Leibovitz had to take on the challenge and learn on how take photographs in color. Knowing that she took on this challenge of learning to colored photography and still do an amazing job tells me that I am also capable of trying new things.

Sally Mann

I really enjoyed learning about Sally Mann. I found it interesting that she really only took photos of her three children. I also thought it was a little odd that she continued to take the pictures that she did of her children when people started commenting on them but was surprised when her daughter said that it never bothered her when kids would give her weird looks when she was at school. Sally is probably one of my favorite photographers she did amazing work and created things that no one else has really created.
