The jobs I am interested in are commercial photographer, graphic designer, and video editor. The reason why commercial photographer sparks an interest in me is because, I like seeing all of the well edited and, being able to take picture of something that will be big later in the future would feel great. Graphic designer sparks interest in me I want to be able to look at an art piece, remake it digitally, and show off my creativity side. Video editor sparks interest in me because I would like to someday be hired by a famous artist or youtuber to edit and publish a video for them.

For all three of those jobs, I would like to work inside of the state California.

This image from Emily Blincoe really caught my eye because it shows some fruits, snacks, and candy from the Mexican culture. I grew up eating those things, so it reminded me of my childhood. I also see a lot of snacks that I know are good.

Ansel Adams is a renowned American photographer known for his striking black-and-white landscape photographs, particularly of the American West. I picked him as a subject for reflection because of his profound impact on the field of photography and his unique ability to capture the beauty and majesty of nature.

One of the things that intrigue me about Adams’ photography is his incredible attention to detail and technical precision. He was known for his use of large-format cameras and his meticulous control over every aspect of the photographic process, from the composition of the image to the development of the final print. His dedication to his craft is evident in the stunning quality of his photographs, which are characterized by their sharpness, clarity, and tonal range.

Another aspect of Adams’ work that I find fascinating is his ability to imbue his photographs with a sense of emotion and mood. Although his images are often highly detailed and realistic, they also have a dreamlike quality that makes them feel almost otherworldly. This is due in part to his use of long exposure times, which allowed him to capture the movement of clouds and water in his landscapes, creating a sense of motion and flow that adds to the overall effect of emotion.

Beyond his technical skill and artistic vision, Adams was also an important advocate for conservation and environmentalism. His photographs of the American West helped to raise awareness of the natural beauty of the region and the importance of preserving it for future generations. He was also a founding member of the Sierra Club, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the environment, and his work with the club helped to advance the cause of conservation in the United States.

In reflecting on Adams’ photography and his legacy, I am struck by the enduring power of his images to inspire and move people. His photographs remind us of the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and the importance of preserving it for future generations. They also demonstrate the potential of photography to capture not only the physical reality of a scene, but also the emotions and feelings it evokes in the viewer.

Overall, Ansel Adams is an important figure in the history of photography, whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. His technical mastery, artistic vision, and commitment to conservation have made him a true icon of the medium, and his legacy will undoubtedly continue to shape the field of photography for years to come.

I liked with picture because it shows 3 body parts of the man walking. I also really liked the way the three pictures were places, vertically like the man’s face, his chest with hands and arms carrying his food. One last thing that I liked about this picture is the depth of field, so that the photographer makes us focus on the man and his body parts. The photographer tried to match the different body parts vertically to make it look like the man was walking with just the feet, chest, and head.

I would like to revisit Las Vegas because I have not been there in a while, one main reason why is because of all the beautiful light that turn on at night. Another reason why is because I want to see the Bellagio fountain show and take picture of the water as it goes up and down. Also want to be able to walk around check out new places and foods. One last reason why is because I want to party with my friends and family.
