Top 100 Photos of All Time

While we wait for the printer to be fixed so we can finish the mural project, let's take a look at some famous photos. Below you will find a link to the top-100 photos according to Time Magazine.

First, take a peek at some of the photos and get familiar with the website itself. It isn't the easiest to navigate, but there is some great stuff here to look at.

Once you have it figured out, lets narrow down to a few of the images and do some reading.

Pick FIVE of the top-100 images. Click them individually and read the short excerpt about the photo. Create a new post on your blog and answer the following questions:

1. Why did you pick this image? What caught your eye?
2. Summarize what you read. How about 2-3 sentences explaining the photo.
3. Every photo has some additional information, links, readings, or videos associated. Please tell me what you learned in addition to the actual photo. If you need to watch a video, I can come put in my credentials so you can watch, just raise your hands.
4. Look up the photographer. Post this famous image of theirs PLUS one more of theirs that catches your eye. (This means I should see at least 2 photos per post).
5. Find a biography of the photographer and provide the following information:

Name
Birth and death year (if applicable)
Born where
School attended (college or photo school)

You can complete these 5 image choices in one single blog post.
