IMAGE BANK

         The Photo Bank I chose is Alfred Eisenstaedt. I chose this photographer because i find his photos very interesting. i say that because majority of his photos express reality, life and happiness. Also by some of his close up shots you can tell what the person is feeling. What I admire about this Photographer is his originality even though they were photos that express simplicity, they still grab my attention.
