5. The Edward Steichen quote is very relatable to me. It is basically saying that photography shows the essence of life and the world, and everything else involved in it. Photographs show everything imaginable, and leave the mind to imagine anything else.
6. I think it is beneficial to alter photographs when it is a close up of a person or sometimes a landscape. People may not always have clear skin, so it is nice to be able to fix blemishes or any bumps that they are self-conscious about. And as for landscapes, it is convenient to be able to take away something man-made out of the picture if it distracts the viewer from the natural environment.
7. On a daily basis, I can see photographs on TV, newspapers, magazines, street signs, flyers, the bus, in stores or restaurants, or basically anywhere. These pictures all have different purposes, whether it is to get you to buy a new drink or sweater, or to persuade you to vote for someone, or, on facebook, to show your friends what you're up to this summer.
8. The Richard Avedon quote is basically saying that what he chooses to photograph shows a lot about his personal likes. People tend to photograph things they are interested in, and doing so allows others to see who you are.
9. The Ansel Adams quote makes sense because a photograph, for the photographer, is what they want it to be. They can transform an area or use an angle that highlights a certain point of view.
10. The John Berger quote is saying that photographs remind people of memories they may have forgotten. people take pictures of babies so that when they are older, they can see what they looked like when they were young, and this can apply to anything photographed.
