For my project I was going to do Sylvie Blum, but was unable to find enough information on her work. My second choice that I decided to go with was Ansel Adams.
He had an interesting take on black and white photos, but decided to do color photos later in his life because of how businesses enjoyed colored advertisements.
The church photo was taken in New Mexico in 1942. I like the black and white contrast. Looking at the photo one can see that it is about noon because of where the shadows lay.
The lake picture has great contrast with the snow in the mountain tops. The ripples in the water are more noticable with it being a black and white photo. Also with sky looking washed out it makes the mountains look darker.
