Favorite Photograph


I dont have a favorite photo of all time, but as of right now, the image you see above is my favorite.

This is a photo by Sandy Mann, and the young girl in the picture is her daughter. I really enjoy this photo for many reasons, but the number one reason is the sense of mystery and rebellion that you get from it. This photo was taken in the year 2012 but yet the young girl and her candy cigarette look like they should be an extra in the film Stand By Me. Sandy has captured the vintage style superbly and I cant help but to get chills when I see this photo. The fact that this little girl, no older than maybe 11 years old can naturally hold a candy cigarette in her hand and have the nature that she is going to rule the world is beyond me.

Homework Assignment 1

Hi, Im Kristin! I am a Graphic design major and that is what I am mostly interested in. Anything involving design or art is a good thing in my book. Hmm, the next question is what do I hate? Well I completely despise onions, I really dislike when my feet are cold, and I absolutely loathe when my sheets come off of my bed while I am sleeping.
My photographic experience begins in high school when I took a simple digital photography course and then it ended until last semester when I took Photo 1, with professor Berman. That was the class with actual film and the dark room and all of that jazz.
For the first week or so I may have to borrow one of the cameras from the cage, so that will be the camera that is used.
My favorite music, food, movie, book, TV show and photographer: Music- absolutely anything. My favorite singer is Josh Groban because I am a 65 year old woman trapped in a 20 year olds body. My favorite food is clams and spaghetti (red sauce). Favorite movie is tough, I guess its a 3 way tie between Shawshank Redemption, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, and Cool Hand Luke (Like I said before, I am 65....and I weirdly like prison and mental disability movies). My favorite book is hands down Catcher in the Rye. I absolutely love Friends, and when it comes to my favorite photographer, I dont know photographers well enough to choose, so as of right now my favorite photographer is my sisters boyfriend, who does wedding and family shoots.

Well thats me in a nutshell.
