FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY!!



I chose this kind of art because it seems interesting. There are many things to know about it, Fine art photography refers to photographs that are created to fulfill the creative vision of the artist. Fine art photography stands in contrast to photojournalism and commercial photography. Photojournalism provides visual support for stories, mainly in the print media. Commercial photography's main focus is to sell a product or service..


  • a good photograph is one that communicate a fact, touches the heart, leaves the viewer a change person for having seen it. It is, in a word, EFFECTIVE. Irving Penn.
  • a great photograph is one that fully express what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed. Ansel Adams.

I liked so much this photograph by Sudek Josef. He was a Czech photographer, best known for his haunting night-scapes of Prague. Sudek's photography is sometimes said to be modernist. But this is only true of a couple of years in the 1930s, during which he undertook commercial photography and thus worked "in the style of the times". Primarily, his personal photography is neo-romantic.



WITHOUT TV !!: BENEFITS AND MORE....


Think you can’t live without your electronic companion, the TV set? Think getting rid of TV would leave your life empty and meaningless? yes the TV has been important in our lives that with the time has been changed, first you watch it in black & white then in colors, on the contrary, living without TV can be much more peaceful, enjoyable, healthier, and happier. Can you imagine...?
  • My mind becomes free of commercial jingles.
  • I can become addicted—to LEARNING.I can study and doing my hwk without distractions.
  • I will lose track of the latest escapades of Paris Hilton and other such notable celebrities.
  • I do not worry how the sex and violence on TV may affect my and other family.
  • I find the time to pursue my dreams.

It may be hard to believe that there are such benefits to living without TV. Get rid of your TV maybe for a month and see how your life improves. By the end of the month, you will probably be pleasantly surprised at the improvements. The downside of not having TV or I might be worse off

  • Sometimes people are talking about something that they watched on TV and I simply do not express my opinion.
  • I can't invite people over to watch TV; this is a big season for debate parties.
  • Also, watching television or a movie is a nice way to end a date.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON!!!




The mother of
equality for women!


I recently read "Elizabeth Cady Stanton: the mother of equality for women" by Tanya Lee Stone, a book about a wowan who wanted that all the women had to vote. It´s interesting how did she struggle with all the people that were against her.

The story begins when Elilzabeth was 11 years, her father, Judge Cady, was unfair with a woman who only wanted her properties/belongings, but because she was a woman she didn´t have rights so her belongings were given to her son. Elizabeth saw that injustice so she decided to change the laws: Women must be given the right to vote and omitt the word "obey" at the weddings because it implies that the wife is less than her husband. evrybody was against Elizabeth, they didn´t support the ideas that she had. There was only one man , Frederick Douglass, who was agree with her resolution.

The main characters Elizabeth Cady, her father: Judge Cady, a middle aged woman, Elizabeth´s husband:Henry B. Stanton, Frederick Douglass.

I liked the book because that I understood it has a moral: With perseverance you can achieve everything that you want, It doesn´t matter how long can take it, and this is the one reason that I recommend it.
