#10 National Geographic (June 1985)
Photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan. The photo became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985. Since then, this raw, untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely reproduced photos in the world.

This is my favorite because of the lighting 

on the girl's face and the glow in her eyes, 

as well as the composition and framing.

Cover History

Cover types

1. Early Magazine Covers

- The early magazine usually consists of a 

drawing and piece of art with the beginning of 

the main story, title of the magazine and that's all.

2. The Poster Cover

-The poster covers consists of a full sized poster style 

portrait and the title of the magazine. 

3. Pictures Married to Type

-Pictures married to type usually consists of a main 

photo that is part of a theme which is also 

accompanied by captions of the same theme.

4. In the Forest of Words-

-In the forest of words is what you'd 

usually see on the cover of magazines now 

days, mostly female magazines and style magazines.  

The cover is usually filled with many different captions 

about losing weight, finding love, things that people find 

most interesting, even if it's not always good.

Portraits

I really like this photo because of the story it tells.

Most portraits include a face which give away the emotion and tone 

the photograph is trying to portray. The sock on the 

girl shows a sign of carefree and fun with the stripes. And not being able 

to see her face and seeing her arms in the 

arm also gives a feeling of wonder and youth, that's why i like it.

Color Shoot Plans

Ok. So i finally found a good use of my boyfriend's skating.

I have decided to do my year thematic shoot on Skateboarding.

i plan to shoot my color shoot Wednesday at A lunch and the next weekend, and probably Friday at A lunch as well, we both work so hopefully we can find time to skate..

Now it still scares the living poop out of me cause he will get hurt one day, anyways, i have many fun, dangerous shot ideas. haha, speaking of how dangerous skateboarding is, it's probably just as dangerous lying under the skateboarder trying to capture a kick @$$ photo. i might end up with a black eye or a broken expensive camera, but i'll get the shot..

so wish me luck and give me a box of Band-Aids..

Photojournalsim Ethics

Should a photojournalists ethics be absolute or situational? Why?
Situational, because there are certain lines that should not be crossed. There are also certain things the photographer can do to enhance their picture. Such as cropping, levels, sharpening etc. i do think it is unethical to change the truth of the photo.

Can a photo really capture truth? Why or why not?
Yes. it's capturing what was there and what was happening at that time, there is nothing fake about it.

What decisions have you made as a photographer that "edit" reality? Explain.
cropping, changing levels, contrast, adding effects (sepia, B&W, etc.)

Why is it important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards?'
So every one follows the same guidlines.


List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer.
dodge and burn, enlarger, squeezer, etc
In your opinion, explain if you think it is ethically ok to change a person's appearance like this in a photo.
I think it is unethical because it make women think that they can look like that by just using the dove product.
Under what circumstances is it worse than others?
It's worse when they don't tell the consumer that they are fake.
What types of changes are ok, and what aren't?
physical changes and not completely changin the truth
Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. What relationship does each have to reality, and how does this affect the ethics of each.
Fashion photos are expected to be perfect.

Ethics

1. Summarize the main points of the story in 1-4 sentences.
At University of Wisconsin Madison a picture was doctored to fit a african american face into the cover of the new brochure for the school. It was said that they wanted to express the diversity of the school and by printing a picture of an all white corwd that it did not properly represent the school's diversity.


2. Explain why you think what University of
Wisconsin-Madison was wrong or allowable.
I honestly think the University did a bad thing. If they want their school to be represented adaquately they should have specifically taken a composed, well thought out picture with a diverse crowd to begin with. This picture was not the only picture being considered for the cover of the brochure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ETHICAL:

- I think by just simply
moving a pyramid isn't
taking anything away.
If anything it is adding
to the photo.

UNETHICAL:

I think this is unethical because it is making it look like

Clinton and Castro met when in actuallity they didn't. Which is giving

off an impression that should not be given out.
