I love the light in this photo and the way that the wide angle lens distorts the building.

I chose this photograph because of the high contrast and dreamy quality.  I like the angled perspective and the balance between the sky and buildings.

I chose this photograph because it's a photo of musical technology.  Things are changing all around us and technology is the present and the future.

Sebastião Salgado

Gourma-Rharous

Mali, 1985

There is so much raw emotion in this photograph.  There is an aesthetic value that lends to the emotional aspect of it.

Emmet Gowin

Edith

Danville, Virginia

1970

This photograph is striking because of Gowin's use of contrast and light.  It has a dreamlike (or nightmarish) quality to it.

Josef Beuys

Stockholm, 1971

I like this photograph because of the composition and contrast.  It also contains very interesting subject matter.  This totally reminds me of something that Josef Beuys would be a part of.

This high contrast, brightness is something new for me and I like it in a way.  Yes, this records a certain time and place, but there's something about it that is not right.  Maybe this is what a raspberry lemon drop martini looks like through martini goggles.
