This is a picture by Paul Strand. I chose this picture because i like the light and the dark that is in the picture. I like the way that Paul Strand has focus on the tree and fence but no focus (blurry) in the background. I also like how Paul Strand has certain spots on the tree that pop out and that are light but the rest is dark. I like how he used white balance to make the picture come out as good as this one did.I would like to try and take a picture just like this one. I like how Paul Strands work comes out because it always has meaning and great scenery.

I also like how Paul Strand has movement in this picture and also meaning. I would like to try and take a good picture like this with light and darkness and also movement.


This is also one of my favorite pictures that Paul Strand took. I like this picture because it shows the sun (light) that reflects on the plants leafs. I think that this photo is very creative and artsy. I also like how Paul Strand gets the reflection of the light on the leafs and also the darkness. I think that this is a very good picture with light and darkness for a nature picture. I would like to try and get a photo like this one because i like how the image came out.
