Proposal: documentary photography

     I am planning on documenting halloween for my project. I will be around my friends and family, and it will be easy to snap some photos to document the event. I decided to do halloween because it will be fun and it will have many chances to capture the moments and shots I need. I will probably take the photos at my house and at my friends house as well. I will take photos of people in costumes, eating candy, and socializing. The time that I will photograph will probably in the evening and night. The darkness with fit with the halloween theme!

American Photography Part two

     There where a few events that stood out to me in the movie we watched in class. The first one that really stood out were the WW2 pictures. They were sad and sometimes graphic but they showed people who weren't on the front lines what was really going on out there. These photos showed the bravery that our troops showed out there fighting for our freedom. One other event that stuck in my mind was the halocuast. The horrible photos that were taken at the time are around now to remind us of our tragic past, and to never go back to that. The things that were done to the people in the camps were terrifying and extremely inhumane. Photography takes many horrifying photos but it is good so we can learn from our mistakes as a country and a world for that matter.
     If I could document one thing in all of history it would be the civil war. I would want to do the civil war beacause of a few reason. First off it was a very tough time for our country but also made us what we are today. Another reason is beacuse it would have been an extreme adrenaline rush. The shots that could of been taken during this time would of been outstanding! I really wish I would of been around during this time with the technology we have now. Something that would interest me in documenting for class would be maybe a sporting event or a group event involving teenagers to capture pictures of people my age.
