2 portrait photographers.
gertrude kasebier and Diane Arbus were both well known american photographers. gertrude was born may 18 1852 and was known for her images of motherhood as well as native americans. Diane arbus was born march 14 1923 and was known for her black and white photographs of deviant and marginal peoples. the time periods they lived in played a major factor in their styles. gertrude took photo's i the old west in the late 1800's where as diane looked for a more grotesque topic in the mid 1900's . the two both took mainly black and white but at the same time gertrude only had that option.

technology of the past
the article describes how the kodak company once a very profitable company almostb all at once collapsed. kodak was a company that produced film for camera's. but when the digital camera's started coming out there wasnt really much interest in the old film style anymore. why would you continually buy and insert rolls of film when you could just get the digital camera and that was that. their top stock price was 94$ per share. towards the end of the companys career it hit an all time low of just 78 cents.

i really enjoyed the video. i think the biggest thing i got oiut of it was the concept of taking pictures in action. not taking posed pictures. if its posed it takes on the image of a photo if it isnt posed then its more like you captured the moment. your actually seeing the real thing. your seeing what you would see if you were there. if you were there in person not everyone would be looking at the camera people would be out and about. people everything wouldnt be so orderly. that reality is what the picture in motion is trying to catch.
