Nostalgia: A Blessing or A Curse?
The photograph shown above is very nostalgic to me. Sayville Pizza is a place that I've going to since I was a kid. I have been in and out that front door countless times. It's been there for me when I was hungry to when my friends and I were walking around looking at the small boutique shops.

History of Photography: Early Fashion Photography

this photo is great i love the depth of field and the use of black and white in this photo. it makes everything focus more on the worker and the dirt without taking away from the background. Great Work!
