Black and White Photographers II

For this assignment I will be studying Alvin Langdon Coburn.
He was born in Boston, Massachusetts on June 11th, 1882 and died in 1966.  His cousin encourages his photography career.  He opened a camera studio and joined a camera club.  He later went on with Alfred Stieglits, Edward Steichen, Clarence White and Gertrude Kasebier to form the Photo Secession Club.  

 He moved to London, England and became well known for taking portraits for celebrities.  He was extremely celebrated on the west and east side of the Atlantic.  He was also well known for his abstract photography.  Coburn had a great life but not too many exciting things happened.  The most exciting thing he got to do is take Theodore Roosevelt's portrait.

CEASER is sitting in a dark newscasting room "For those of you that don't know, Tracker Jackers, are genetically engineered Wasps whose venom causes searing pain, powerful hallucinations and in some cases death." She eases along the tree to reach the beehive, getting stung multiple times. She uses a knife that was thrown at her to slowly (takes a long time) cut the beehive down. The beehive lands on the people and the bees sting them vigorously. They scream and one of the girls falls and dies (GLIMMER). After the bees clear out and the people are running away fro

Huntington Story

At 10 PM. on Wednesday one Janice Jones was eating a pork chop in her trailer.  As she was eating her dog knocked a 9 millimeter hand gun off of a table.  When it hit the ground, it went off and hit Janice in the leg.  The bullet continued traveling and lodged itself only two inches from the gas tank.  Jones was rushed to a hospital in Huntington Beach.  Later she was transported to a hospital in Irvine California.  Her dog was kept with Animal Control officers where they discovered that it was malnourished and had multiple cigarette burns.  However, that was not the only illegal thing Jones had done.  The police searched her trailer and found that the handgun had been purchased illegally.
