Margaret Bourke-White

Hats in the German District, New York

As I scrolled through White's photographs, I was intrigued by this one. All of the people, shot from a birds-eye view caught my attention. Not to mention that almost all of them have a hat atop their head. I also wondered when this photo was taken, and what was happening during this time. 

My Jazz Photography Ideas

For our jazz project, we are being paired with a few graphic art students. We, the photography students, take photos of jazz instruments for a local jazz festival. Once we have shot our photos, we give them to the graphic art students and they edit them. In a few weeks from now, we will submit our work into a contest for the Portland Jazz Festival.

Over the weekend, I went to my cousins house because my cousin has a drum set. He has been playing for three years and I shot many different photos of him playing random songs. I took motion and non motion photos and examples of each are below.

Jazz Photography Research

Jazz is a type of music of black American origin characterized by improvisation, syncopation, and usually a regular or forceful rhythm, emerging at the beginning of the 20th century. Brass and woodwind instruments and piano are particularly associated with jazz, although guitar and occasionally violin are also used; styles include Dixieland, swing, bop, and free jazz.

Gumbichromate & Van dyke prints

These are my gum bichromate and van dyke prints. In order to do this, you have to make the solutions for each first. You then coat pieces of paper with them. In order to get the print, you must print out transparencies of an image you like. Then you pin the transparency to your piece of paper on top of cardboard. Set it underneath the light for 15 minutes and then let it soak in water.
