Pre-Assignment-

Paul Strand born October 16, 1890 and died March 31, 1976 in New York City. He worked in abstract photography and created his own motion pictures ,and In 1949  left for France's  film festival.He is important because of his abstract and depth of shadow works in photography. We were given an assignment to take photo graphs in the style of Paul Strand this means that we are to take photographs of people , things , and the depth of shadow behind the subject of our photographs. My approach to this assignment is to take pictures of light falling on buildings and close ups of plants.
