Finish Work & Video/Extra Credit

Today is a work day if you still have work missing.

If you are completely done with the work you need, you can work on an Extra Credit or choose one of the following videos and briefly fill out a sheet based off of that video.

         Photographer Christopher Anderson discusses his work and his life-changing experience aboard a Haitian refugee boat that sank in the Caribbean. We then followed him as he hit the streets to photograph New York City.


        Dorothea Lange is best known for her photographs taken during the Great Depression and focuses on the impoverished Americans of the 1930s. Two of her photos, "Migrant Mother" and "White Angel Breadline" became icons of the Great Depression.


         Acclaimed National Geographic photographer Ami Vitale talks about how her work has given her the privilege to tell the stories of people around the world and the responsibility photographer’s have in bringing these topics to light as a photojournalist.


           In 2009, a mysterious nanny died, leaving behind a secret hoard - thousands of stunning photographs. Never seen in her lifetime, they were found by chance in a Chicago storage locker and auctioned off cheaply. Now Vivian Maier has gone viral and her magical pictures sell for thousands of dollars. 
            Few American artists have reached a wider audience, or enjoyed more widespread popularity in their own lifetime, than Ansel Adams. A visionary photographer, a pioneer in photographic technique and a crusader for the environment, Adams would take part in an extraordinary revolution: in photography, and ways of seeing what he called "the continuous beauty of the things that are".
           At the start of the 20th century, for the first time in history, inexpensive hand-held cameras gave ordinary people the opportunity to create their own visual images. Suddenly pictures were everywhere, and by the end of the 1920s, photographs had made their way into virtually every corner of contemporary life.



7) Search for the Afghan Girl
           When Steve McCurry took the picture of a young Afghan girl in a refugee camp in 1984, he never knew that it was going to become the face of a nation, it has become that.  Nearly 20 years later, McCurry embarks on a journey to Afghanistan and Pakistan, searching for the young girl that he photographed that one day.
