Photography Biography - Written Assignment

                                   Laughlin's most famous work, "Ghosts Along the Mississippi"

Clarence John Laughlin (1905 - 2 January 1985) was a U.S. Photographer who took surrealist pictures of the U.S. South. His southern heritage is frequently shown in his work, and his interest in literature also heavily influenced his works. Once his family lost all their money in a failed rice farm, they had to move to New Orleans where his dad got a job as a factory worker. Once his father died, he turned to the Church in which he was strongly influenced by; He dropped out of high school after his freshman year was over, but was self-educated and highly literate. He originally wanted to be a writer and wrote many poems and short stories which reflected his Southern French heritage, but was not published. He began working as a freelancer photographer once he got a job with Vogue magazine; he disliked the constraints of Vogue magazine and after a conflict with the editor in chief, he quit. He began shooting surrealist pictures that reflected the his southern heritage and the slave-filled past of the South. He showed no interest in newer camera equipment, and used older models until he died.

Photography Current Event - Written Assignment

Delkin has released new memory cards which they claim are virtually unbreakable, waterproof, dustproof, resistant to extreme temperatures, both cold and hot, and are all around basically indestructible. They will be called "Black Delkin Devices" and are to released around Christmas time, and claim they will be an upgrade from whatever memory card you have: this could very well take over the memory card industry, and pose a very real threat to other minor credit card companies, but this could only potentially happen if they deliver on their promise of their memory card being as indestructible and convenient and an upgrade from other memory cards as they claim it to be. They will come in 32, 64, and 128GB capacities, and they will fit into most cameras who use conventional and frequently used memory cards.
