The most inspiring photograph is from Diane Arbus. All her photos really inspire me because she shows the side of humanity that no one ever really sees.

One of the most inspiring photos that I have seen is titled East Sussex Coast and it is by Bill Brant. (It can be seen here: http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/brandt/brandt_coast.jpg ) It reminds me that even in a world that is full of commercialism and pollution, that there is still nature. Some arw still connected to nature. We were traveling away from nature, but recently we have been traveluing back and attempting once again to be one with it.

idk who took this photo but its peaceful to look at. its inspiring because of the way the photo was structured. it is very unique and it gives a feeling that everyone is one with nature.

the most inspiring photograph i have ever seen is a photograph by Robert Doisneau "Kiss by the Hotel de Ville" because this picture says so much but it is so plain. i love the set up.

one of the most inspiring photos was by ansel adams of a huge water fall. even though the photo is black and white it looks like you can walk right into the photo.

In this photo,a man is holding a gun to the other man's head. It looks like he is taking away all of the other man's hope and dignity. This photograph makes me feel upset and sympathetic for the man who has to go through all this torture.

These are great comments, especially for your first time discussing and riffing with each other. Remember, if possible, to use your most sensitive and well chosen words. Since this is a class discussion web log, good articulation will win kudos.
