Week five due March 3, 2010

Photography IV:
Repeat the directions from week four. Pick three new images from masters-of-photography.com from three different photographers. PLEASE, limit yourself to ONLY what is available on the masters-of-photography.com website. (These images do NOT need to be in current exhibitions, only that they are posted on this one website) This time, select images from three different photographers. Pick the three because each image "strikes" you. And, of course, post three RECENT images of your own and state why you selected each of those images.

Then, after you have all six images posted for week five, go back to week four and look at each of the three images you selected from Masters-of-photography.com for last week. Without deleting what you have already written, add to week three's post and now write why YOU think they are amazing images that deserve to be in the archive of "masters". State EXACTLY what makes these images amazing.
