 This photo is just a masterpiece, everything about this photo is just beautiful. The colors, the scenery, it all works so well to create a beautiful photo that just leaves me in awe. This photo tells a story of commitment and dedication this man has to selling his flowers and its just beautiful. This photo its just super wholesome and wonderful to look at.

 This photo is also really beautiful, with the colors and background it gives a feeling of peace to me. Whether this photo was planned or not, it still gives a warm feeling to the person looking at this photo. I feel like if I'm looking at this photo with some inspiring music it makes me feel like I can do anything. 
    That's why I'm writing about Steve McCurry because his photos make me want to go out to those areas and experience them myself. His photos show a beauty most people might not see and him exposing this beauty is really amazing.

                    Photo Essay: Eugene Richards      This book was a big inspiration for me since for my final I wanted to tell a story with my photos.

I think that's amazing, that ability to take a photo of someone and then change the way they look and then using that new photo to find a lost person is amazing. I'm pretty su...
