I think this photo greatly resembles life at southwestern because theres always someone messing around or doing something different at our school in the hallways, just the moments arent always captured. in this street photo completely random things are going on and so would it happen at southwestern.

1] what specifically is the purpose of heisler's photographs? is it simply vanity-driven or does it perform a deeper function?
I belive that heisler's photos perform a deeper function by showing what the person in the photograph is known for, what they're perfession is, or how they act as a person.

2] as many of heisler's photos are made for specific stories or magazine covers they have a specific look, but are they fundementally different from gordon parks' "american gothic"?
I think the point that heiser makes in many of his photos relates with goron parks "american gothic" in all the reasons of the deeper function, the photos show a meaning behind the person more then an "oooohh-aaahhh" of the looks of a photograph.

3] pick the portrait of the actor hugh grant from the prophoto.com website and critique it for content, purpose, and effectiveness.
