Top 100 Photos of All Time

1. I chose this image because it shows a fun, playful time that the Beatles experienced. What caught my eye was their recognizable faces and the outrages poses they were captured in.
2. When I read the excerpt at the bottom, I found out that the photographer at first didn't want to be filming the Beatles at all, but wanted to be taking pictures in Africa. However, as the trip went on, he started enjoying himself and it ended in a lasting collaboration.
3. Based on the video, I learned that Benson shot multiple pictures all throughout the pillow fight before finally ending up with what he called a "good picture" which was the one below.

     5.  Harry Benson

          Born on December 2, 1929 in Glasgow, United Kingdom

          He left his Scottish school at 13 to get a job as a messenger boy.

1. I picked this photo because it has an interesting element of simplicity. What really caught my eye, though, was the fact that Michael Jordan almost looks photoshopped into the picture.
2. In the additional information at the bottom, I found that Nike paid Rentmeester for temporary use of the picture. Later, after the image became a famous logo, Rentmeester sued Nike for copyright infringement
3. Even though Nike was sued for using the picture illegally, it still made millions of dollars off of what is still a popular icon today.

     5. Jacobus Rentmeester

         Born February 8, 1836 in Amsterdam

         Went to Art Center College in Los Angeles

1. I picked this photo of because the bright colors and odd shapes appealed to me. It looked like some alien form that I'd never seen before, so I was curious.
2. This picture was taken from the Hubble Space Telescope that almost didn't work. A repair mission later fixed it, and the telescope sent a clear, vivid image of the Eagle Nebula in the Serpens Cauda constellation.
3. I learned that The Hubble has taken many more pictures of nebulas and constellations just like the famous one. Many of them are thousands of light-years away and would be difficult to see in person.

     5. Hubble Space Telescope

         It was renamed in honor of Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer who claimed there were                      

         more things beyond the Milky Way.
         It was launched on April 24, 1990

1. I picked this picture because it showed unusual colors and I was drawn to the focal point of the knob in her finger.
2. Based on the information, that picture was one of the first discoveries of X-rays. Anna's husband, Wilhelm, took it using different exposures.
3. Wilhelm won the first Nobel Prize ever granted to physics.

     5. Wilhelm Rontgen

         Born March 27, 1845 in Remscheid, Germany   Died February 10, 1923

         Attended the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich

1. I picked this image because of the unique way it draws your attention. For me, I was drawn to the single bright color and the contrast of the milk drop. It also forms a crown, which I thought was fascinating.
2. In order to get this shot, Edgerton had to tinker with different sources of light and different ways to capture a single, fast moment quickly. Once he took this shot, he spent his time perfecting others like it.
3. In the video, I saw how much time Edgerton spent on perfecting that one milk drop picture. He was best known for that, but he also experimented with other items that will probably be around for a long time.
