Questions
4.No, I do not believe that it is ethically acceptable to change peoples appearance, because this makes other people insecure and makes a "image" that people want to be, when in reality they cannot ever reach it. People need to be happy with what they have, because what's more important is what is inside.
5.In any circumstance, this is a major sin of photography, and photo manipulation should not and is not acceptable on any levels. This is pertaining to people and objects. Now, the purpose of these photographers is to make them look "pretty", but in journalism it is not acceptable on any accounts, and this should and will be actively banned.
6.There are really no changes that are acceptable. However, saturating and MAYBE cleaning up acne an other SMALL blemishes. That is the absolute maximum! In journalism, you must capture the world for other people to determine and judge about themselves. You cannot make an opinion for the viewer.
7.Fashoin photography is about making people feel insecure about themselves so they buy makeup to make them beautiful, where journalism photography is for telling the truth, and enabling people to make decisions for themselves.
8.Journalism photography is about telling the truth. But fashion photography is about convincing people that they can be as beautiful as the people in the photo if they just buy a certain product. They both convey a certain truth, as if you photoshop yourself, you might look as "beautiful" but not in real life.
9.These videos where to demonstrate that these sort of practices are unethical on any level, but certainly not in journalism photography. Fashion photography is a different beast, and those pictures should be taken with a grain of salt. Fashion is about advertising oneself, whereas journalism is about telling the world.
10.Guys are supposed to be masculine, and there are plenty of muscly guys, where the standard for girls is huge, I am surprised that they keep up! Legs, arms, face, hair, nails, and probably a bunch of other stuff I don't even know about are what girls have to do, and for guys, you are just glad they showed up.

Magazine Cover Part II
1. Early Magazine Covers
The early magazines where more short books than actual magazines. They started on the front cover, and there was just a generic picture, if at all, adorned on the front of the magazine. They where short and very book like. It was the beginning of over a 100 years of magazine innovation.
2. The Poster Cover
Here, the first mentioning of individual covers came about. The images appearing on the front of the magazines negated the need for cover lines. It made the cover cleaner and smoother in appearance. Several magazines made good use of this and hired experienced artists and made gorgeous pictures.
3. Pictures Married to Type
However, with many things, it was not to last. The words on the cover came back, and the grand pictures that decorated the covers now where blemished by cover lines advertising a great many things. Apparently, it was more important to tell what was inside the magazine on the outside, than the inside.
4. In the Forest of Words
Now here, we look at a magazine, blasted by words with silent screams etched on covers and boisterous images, high in quality, but generally the same. Words fought with the images, and in many magazines, powerful images is not enough for them, and the protrude lines of text onto the crowded cover.

My favorite Portrait was the Bloomberg one where two people are walking or jumping in the air. Here is the description:
"It’s hard to break through with a story about J. Crew—everyone wears it so it has become visual noise. So for our cover story about how J. Crew is expanding overseas, and going after a more fashion-forward demographic, we decided to have Will and Kate, symbols of all that is wholesome and holy and English, posing as J. Crew catalog models on our cover."
The picture demonstrates the photographers desire to give the idea of their joy and spirit. They are clearly happy, so that makes them positive. The consumer assumes that they are happy, and indirectly feels interested as to why they are happy. Apparently it is about clothing, so they are happy about their clothes, but the consumer doesn't know that, they are just wondering why the models look happy. The plain background complements the subjects. It is simple and gets the point across.

American Soldier Slide Show and Captions
1.
A. The mot powerful photo I think is number 61, because the backlight against the Humvee and the soldiers on the side make an almost religious look of an others normal photo. It makes the soldiers look almost like some religious symbol, like a Angel or something.
B.
Set 1: 1-9
Set 2: 10-30
Set 3: 51-71
Set 4: 73-82
Set 3, "In Iraq", was the most powerful because it depicted real situations with real people and they were jarring and mind boggling.
C. With the captions, it tells the story of a man, Ian Fisher, who was deployed to Iraq, returned, and got married to his girlfriend.
3.
A. The verbs are usually written in present tense, because it is as if Ian is talking.
B. The captions provide a short narrative that complements the photo by filling a gap between then and now in the photo.
4.
A.
#73: Robert falls asleep on his girlfriends shoulder as they wit for the roadblock to cease. Fo over 14 days, the Army had quarantined the city of Chicago in anticipation of the MEV-1 virus outbreak.
#70: Daryl and Cynthia Jones wait anxiously at the New York International Airport for their plane. They booked it so that they could flee before New York was quarantined like Chicago, but unfortunately, they were to late.
#61:J Garcia and Ty Longview, along with the rest of Alpha squad, wait anxiously for a sign of their buddies. However, at that exact moment, a wormhole had appeared, causing a flash of light, and rendering their friends missing in what later would be known as the Baghdad Incident. This is the only known photo of the incident.
