A few spelling issues. Pictures were supposed to be embedded, nice job 90

Edward Steichen was a very talented photographer who began at the age of sixteen. He was alive from September 14, 1996 – January 20, 1997 and in those years he had many great contributions to photography. For example he helped change the way photography was looked at as a whole, with help from Alfred Stieglitz he was able to show people that it was more of a creative form of expression. I chose Steichen because I liked how he was a self taught photographer and througout his life he didnt just stick to one form of photography but instead he switched around. From first glance at some of his work I like how Edward's pictures made you think about what you were looking at and the significance of it. Although I don't like how some of his photographs give off dreary vibes, some of the pictures give you a sad feeling when you look at them. I could use Steichen's uncluttered form of photography to take clean strong photographs. Steichen was a very influential photographer. Overall I am glad I chose to learn about Edward Steichen because he is a great photographer to learn from. His techniques produce beautiful photos that seem to hold a lot of hidden meaning. I would hope to be able to some day take a photograph with his style incorporated into it in order to produce a nice looking form of art as he did.
