I love how her red dress stands out. My eye is instantly drawn to it and it fits so well with her blond hair. I like how she is the center focus and the side aren't too important to the picture. I think it works well that the picture stops right at her foot and just a little above her head. Her figure is perfect also. I like the straight lines of the door next to her curves. It seems as though the straight lines bring out her curves. I think this photo would work in black in white also, but I really like it in color because of the red dress and blond hair. It adds so much character to the photo.

I love this photo. It seems so sweet and you can almost feel the attraction between them. I love the position of both of them. They are both leaning in, Marilyn more than Joe. I think the window behind them frames them, pulling them out of the picture. This picture doesn't seem quite black and white, but it's not color. It seems to have a settle pink hue to it. I think the tint of the photo adds a warm feeling to the picture. It makes it seem old yet new. Like the start of a new era.

Um can I say line.....I think line is the most obvious element of this photo. Next would probably be depth of field. The line makes it seem so tall and the depth so deep. This photo seems like it lasts forever. I like in black in white because there seems to be perfect contrast between the black and white. I think color might have made this photo too busy and taken away from the line and depth of field.

At 75 Eisie said he was still a photographer because he still got excited about it. He was described by others by having excitement and energy in life and in his photos. Others said he kissed with his camera and taught others to do so. He seemed to be helpless in every other realm than photography. Eisie had said photography was more than just an expression, it was a different way of seeing. Eisie always tried to catch that story telling moment when looking around the world. Eisie had said though that when he could simply blink his eyes and take a picture, then he would really be a photographer.

One of Eisie's famous photos is of a soldier kissing a nurse. This brought about great speculation on who these people were. In 1980 Edith Shain came forward and said she was the nurse, but the soldier was still unknown. Men have come forward saying they were the soldier, but some truths didn't fit the picture. So far 11 sailors have come forward saying they were the sailor.

In his lifetime he shot some 2,500 stories and 86 covers for LIFE. He is said to be a founding father of photojournalism. He created stories from the famous to the obscure. Again he said "his goal was to find and catch the storytelling moment."
