The oldest living things in the world

On this website I looked at some of the oldest living things in the world. This consisted of many trees, plants, rocks, coral, and more. Most of the things photographed are over 2,000 years old or even older.

I learned that there is  13,000 year old Eucalyptus in Australia.

A. I picked this photo because I found it interesting how the branches of the trees wrapped around other branches, weaving together over thousands of years.
B. Some rules of photography I see in this photo I see balance, simplicity and lines.
C. Rachel Sussman took this photo.

The 4 Types of Magazines

Early magazine covers - Early magazines usually didn't have covers. When they did they consisted of a picture title and publication data only. Most magazines even had articles on the cover page. Over time they began to shift toward pictures on the cover page. The poster cover - Around the 1890s poster cover magazines began to emerge. Covers would be pictures that would usually not even relate the story in the magazine. Later they began to relate to the story. Pictures married to type - Cover lines began to emerge in the late 1800s. It was not sure what mix was best between amazing cover art or interesting cover lines. By 1916 people were getting the hang of it. Covers included a large title and a model posing. In the forest of words - By the 21st century magazine cover lines were as important as the cover art itself. The cover lines and images would usually overlap

My Favorite Cover

Wired, September 2014, Edward Snowden

"Edward Snowden didn't want to be photographed. He wanted his actions--leaking classified NSA files--to be the focus of any story, not his face. But. But. Being shot by Platon, who has photographed world leaders like Dick Cheney, George Bush (both of them), and Vladimir Putin, puts him on the same level as those subjects, elevating his message. So out of complicated motivations comes a tense and compelling photograph. As Snowden holds the flag, his face and his hands convey both respect and hurt--a flickering combination of protectiveness and vulnerability. Words would tip the reader toward a single interpretation. So. No design. No cover lines. Just an image, however you choose to look at it." 

I like this cover for Wired because it shows good rules of photography. Simplicity is evident with a simple background. The portrait is balanced with the Subject centered. I like how the cover photo depicts the man in a serious matter because of the serious topic in the magazine. Government secrets are not a happy thing and Snowden's facial expression helps you see that. Another thing I like is how the american flag is being cradled like a baby. It helps to shows that he is helping us for what he did.
