Photography 2nd Semester: Assignment #1

Photographers!  Welcome back to the 2nd semester!  For our first blog assignment, please upload your favorite photo from a professional photographer and describe why it is that this particular photo caught your attention and is your favorite.  Is it the subject matter, the lighting, the contrast?  Be detailed and specific in your response.  Make sure to also give credit where credit is due: cite the artist as well as the title of the piece if known!
