Michael Bosanko is a magician with lights. He finds interesting compositions and adds a huge presence of light to the situation. Even if the composition seems mundane or uninteresting it certainly is not after he adds in a bit of light. The light in his photographs creates a world I would like to tap into. It has this undeniable presence. In the shot above he creates a sea of green while accenting the lines of the fence with what may be sparklers. Adding another wavelength of purple above the sea just bringing your eye further and further into the image.

Mark Klett has a great idea going here. Its amazing how time can change so many things and yet when it comes to these canyons they are almost exactly the same from the late 1800's up until a few years ago. It lets us know as photographers we are truly capturing reality it is all up to the vantage point, the execution and our ideas that set us apart from each other. A picture one has taken could possibly be shot again. Of course it is a lot more accessible with something like this rather then Bosanko whom is shown above.
Andre Kertesz - Arm With Fan 1937
http://blog.ricecracker.net/tag/andre-kertesz/
Andre Kertesz has created an interesting photograph out of almost nothing. By having this arm (which is from a man fixing the fan on a ladder) Kertesz allows the viewer to collect ideas to why this arm would be coming out of this fan. Does the fan work? Is it gonna turn on on him? This juxtaposition of an arm coming out of a fan just sparks the imagination or at least I know it sparks mine. The mans head is just barely visible towards the top of the fan, the slightest bit of gray makes him noticeable. Adding a subtle element to this "in your face" photograph.
