Ron Haviv Ron Haviv is an Emmy nominated and award-winning photojournalist who is dedicated to documenting conflict and raising awareness about human rights issues around the globe. This photo is his most famous. It is of a Serb kicking a Muslim woman who had been shot by Serb forces. Haviv had gained access to the Tigers, a nationalist militia. They had warned him not to photograph any killings. But Haviv was determined to document the cruelty he was witnessing. He risked his entire life for this photo. A week after Haviv took this photo, it was posted by Time Magazine. The image of casual hatred sparked debate over the international response to this issue. Because of this photo, Haviv was put on the Tigers’ hit list. Arkan, a military commander for the Tigers was indicted in 1997 for crimes against humanity. Haviv’s image was used as evidence against him and other perpetrators of what people know as ethnic cleansing. Aside from this photo, he has visited many other places around

In this project I tried to present a satirical view of how people post selfies. When people post selfies they are normally smiling, or showing themselves happy. In my self portrait I tried to convey that people put on a facade in these photos, and only show the world what they want the world to see.

In this project, we took ordinary objects and took abstract images of them. There are many ways to take an abstract image, you can take the picture from an unusual angle, take it with different lighting, or with different shapes or colors. An abstract image is an image that you may not be able to tell what it is at first glance. I chose to take a picture of the inside of a wiffle ball, and the insole of my basketball sneaker.

Edward Weston was a famous photographer in the early 1900s. Between 1927 and 1930, Weston made a series of close-ups of seashells, peppers, and halved cabbages, bringing out the rich textures of their sculpture-like forms. In this project, we attempted to do the same thing.
