B&W Photography Project idea

I love traveling and I love taking pictures. I was captivated by Manuel Rivera-Ortiz photography it combines street photography and traveling.  Most of the pictures on his website include man places that I have been which make it so much more moving. He captured things I remember seeing and things I wish I had seen. It is amazing how beautiful life is.

Another amazing photographer is Steve McCurry. He has amazing color photos that portray life, joy, and struggle some have been published National Geographic.

Due to the fact that I am stuck in Richmond for the duration of this project I really can't incorporate the traveling part. So I was looking at Robert Doisneau's photography... I love his kissing picture even though it has been commercialized into postcards and posters that college students hang on their wall it is still a beautiful picture of how everyday life is breathtaking.

Some of his inspiration was from another French photographer, Henri Cartier- Bresson

My idea for the project this term is to try to capture how beautiful everyday life can be and how captivating life is.
