Great Black and White Photographers

Imogene Cunningham- Succulent

Harry Callahan- Eleanor
Lee Friedlander -Lafayette, Louisiana

I liked the top picture, the succulent, because of the sharpness, with every crease shadow and line defined.  What I liked about the middle photo though was the lack of definition and the fuzzy edges which gave it a soft and light tone.

In 2018 I'm already looking forwards to summer and vacation, but I'm also excited t return to high school in the fall a year older and year wiser.
