Top 100 Photos of All Time ONE

1. Why did you pick this image? What caught your eye?
I chose this image because I saw a soldier in the water with objects around him and I was wondering why the soldier was low in the water. 

2. Summarize what you read. How about 2-3 sentences explaining the photo.
Huston Riley was a Private First Class who jumped into the water after the Nazis shelled his landing craft. He had to stay under the water as long as possible until he couldn't breathe anymore. Robert Capa took this photo of him when he was at the surf, Capa spent an hour and a half on the battlefield and he watched as men around him were dying. A courier transported his four rolls of film to LIFEs London offices. Most of the film showed no images after they got processed. The ones that were there  give us a memory of D-Day. 

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.
Caps the photographer had been to many wars before but not as big of wars as D-Day. John G. Morris was Robert Capa's photo editor, he waited all day Tuesday and Wednesday for Capa's film to be delivered. The first three rows of film were ruined but Morris ordered for all of the other photos to be printed. To take this photo Capa had to turn his back on the action to face Riley, it showed how brave and courageous Capa was. LIFE gave people the news about everything that was happening because there was no TV's yet. 

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:

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
I think it can be in some situations. I think a little bit is okay but not to where they look like a barbie doll or a total different person because then your showing someone your not and that's not okay.

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

Girls are a lot more insecure about theirselves than guys are and guys are always themselves and girls think they need extra help to make them look better.
