Adams was born near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California on February 20, 1902. “His earliest goal was to become a concert pianist, but he turned to photography in the late teens of the century; a trip to Yosemite National Park in 1916, where he made his first unprofessional photos, is said to have determined his direction in life.” Ansel Adams loved wildlife, and decided to make the scenery of Yosemite National Park some of his main subject matter for his infamous landscape photos. “Ansel Adams' work is an broad documentation of what is still left of the wilderness, the dwindling untouched piece of the natural environment (“Ansel Adams”).” In about 1927, Ansel Adams decided to become a professional photographer. He made this decision about the same time multiple copies of his work were being published in magazines and museums. “Photographs, he believed, are not taken from the environment but are made into something greater than themselves (“Ansel Adams”).” Also adding publicity to photography during the early 1900’s was photographer, artist, painter, and sculptor, Emanuel Rabinovitch, or more commonly known as Man Ray.
He does tours of the Everglades as well (Milford page 1). One photographer that earlier influenced Butcher was Ansel Adams and he conserved the West with his photography. All of Butcher's works are silver gelatin prints. The camera that he uses most often is a camera from back in the Civil War days and this particular type of camera is more difficult because he can only take one photograph and then he has to change the roll (Braga page 1). Most photography was not considered as art and black and white photography was less accepted as art than color photography (Santich Page 3).
Paul Rand began his professional career as an illustrator of stock advertising images for Metro Associated Services in 1934, but expanded his design portfolio through freelance work and an apprenticeship for package and industrial designer George Switzer’s studio. In 1936, he earned a full-time design position for Esquire magazine, and was quickly promoted to Art Director for both Apparel Arts and Esquire magazines. At the same time, he continued to freelance, including designing covers for Direction magazine and advertisements for an assortment of clients. In 1941, Rand left Esquire and took the position of chief art director of the just-established William H. Weintraub Agency, specializing in mass-market product advertising, where he would stay until 1955. Also during that time, he began exhibiting his work, taught design courses at The Cooper Union and Pratt Institute, designed book covers for Alfred A. Knopf, and wrote Thoughts on Design in 1946 (which he would revise as Paul Rand: A Designer’s Art in 1984) , along with multiple other published essays.
As a child, he dropped out of school at the age of 14 to travel and explore, but went back to become a writer later on in his life. In 1897, London and his brother in law sailed to join the Klondike Gold Rush where the setting takes place in his first successful stories. He was inspired to write his first short story, “To Build a Fire”, after his struggles during his visit to the Klondike. Some of his other famous stories are The Call of the Wild, White Fang, The Sea-Wolf, and many other successful novels. Jack London passed away at the age of 40 at his ranch in Sonoma in 1916.
Self-portraits have been a method of self exploration used by many artists since before the invention of the mirror. An artist uses self-portraits to transcend the barrier of time and be immortalized in history. Norman Rockwell, one of the greatest American painter and illustrator, created a famous piece called Triple Self-Portrait, which can be interpreted as timeless; an attempt of the creator to be eternal. Norman Rockwell was born in New York City in 1894. Since a little kid he knew that he wanted to be an artist, so he left high school to attend the Arts Student League, where he learned the technical skills on which he applied all through his career.
Books, Not Bombs: The Power of Education A Study of ‘Three Cups of Tea’ By Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin By Isabelle Flinn Humanities 20 Books, Not Bombs: The Power of Education Greg Mortenson was an ordinary man. But since a fateful failure in 1993, he has done extraordinary things. When he left California for Pakistan in an attempt to climb the world’s 2nd tallest mountain, he did not expect it to change his life, much less the lives of other people. But since then, Mortenson has effected change in the lives of more than 60,000 impoverished children, simply through education. In Mortenson’s biography written by David Oliver Relin, ‘Three Cups of Tea’, Mortenson develops the idea that in the pursuit of peace, education is humanity’s strongest weapon.

The Bells” by Anne Sexton In the poem “The Bells” by Anne Sexton, illustrates how an adult expresses their memories of going to the circus with their father. I believe this poem is about an outing to the circus with her father. In lines one through five I believe Anne describes how the circus poster was scabbing off the concrete wall, how the children may have forgotten about the poster, or even if they noticed its deteriorating condition at all. And for assurance of the occurred Anne asks her father do you remember? In this stanza I believe that Anne and her dad had gone to the circus so long ago; because of the current state of the circus poster.
