Answers to questions:
4. No I do not think it is acceptable to completely change a person's appearance just to be "accepted" into what we call a perfect world when we all know that we are far from perfect. People try to manipulate young women into thinking that this is the way that we have to look in order to be "beautiful."
5. I definitely agree that in other countries photoshop is used more than others whether it be because of body shape or facial features but each country has a different perception of beauty and photoshop may be used more or less to achieve their type of beauty.
6. Changes like clearing the skin and doing other minor changes are okay but when to take a women or man and completely change them into a different person, like changing their body shape and face shape, then it becomes a problem.
7. Fashion photography has very different differences next to photojournalism because photojournalism is more in the moment and "this is what is happening now" where Fashion photography has a lot of behind the scenes that people don't normally see when companies post the picture days or weeks after they took the photo.
8. Each type of photography has a different relationship to reality whether it being manipulating reality or giving people reality the way it is. Some places try to change the reality that is happening to not make it see that bad.
9. Showing us these videos has allowed us to see what really goes into making a magazine cover, picture, or any other publishing company and not just taking a photo and publishing it.
10. All the videos are women because we as women somehow always have to "please" men by having this perfect body and change ourselves just to fit into their picture of a "perfect girl" when men on the other hand are not subjected to change.

Magazines part ll

Early Magazine Covers:
When magazines first started out, most of them did not have a cover to introduce viewers to the magazine. Most just had the title and the table of contents as their cover. Most magazines followed the layout of books that were out at the time. In the late 1800's magazine companies started to design their own covers more like a magazine and introducing what readers were going to see in the magazine.

Parents, February, Show Your Love!

"Three-year-old Emily Keicher is adorable. She also has spina bifida, and will probably never walk on her own. This is the first time that a child with a disability has been on a Parents cover, and we got a tremendous amount of positive feedback. The special-needs community celebrated the fact that Emily wasn't chosen to illustrate an article about disabilities, but simply because she's a cute kid with a smile as shiny as her walker. Thayer Allyson Gowdy initially photographed Emily for a crafts article in the issue, but our photo director saw those pictures and realized she was cover-worthy."

In the magazine cover a three-year-old named Emily Keicher is posed for a formal-environmental photo shoot showing off her cuteness. The message that the magazine cover is giving off is that even though she may have a disability, she is still happy as ever. Composition of this photo is really well put together by having Emily all dressed up in her favorite clothing items and her shiny walker. Emily is in a room where she feels comfortable and shows off her personality. The exposure in this photo is close to perfect but the items are too much of the same color making the background look bright. But Emily has perfect lighting and exposure.

American Soldier slide show and captions (review)

A. The most powerful moment in the slideshow is image #7. As Ian leaves for the first time, his family has been "hit" with reality of Ian's choice to join the Army and will not be able to see him for a said amount of time. 

B. Set #1 at home in Denver- from image #1 to image #9

Set #2 at Basic Training- from image #16 to #28

Set #3 In Iraq- from image #51 to #70

Set #4 back in Denver- from image #71 to #82

Set #2 was the most powerful to see in the slideshow because seeing Ian in training shows how real this is and that you can't go back.

C. The images in the slide show work together to tell a story of a man who joins the Army right out of high school, and the process he goes through getting there, during, and after. 

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject, the verbs are written in present tense. 

B. The captions enhance the photographs by telling exactly what is happening and how people's feelings are affected by the acts of Ian.
