  1. Hey Jessie,

    This guy's work is so lovely and he definitely has a wonderful eye for capture breathtaking images. I love the Gratitude collection, my favorite being the one of the clouds covering the San Francisco bridge (I think). He seems like the type of photographer to go that extra length because I do not think many would climb to the top of a bridge! I vaguely remember that disney movie and that's cool to see that he worked on that. Those shots of nature appear so pure with the bright colors and absence of humans/ manmade objects.
    Wonderful job and congratulations on finishing this course!

  3. I agree with the top two comments. This man's work is incredible. The hard work that he puts into capturing these images definitely pays off. The closeups of the insects and animals are amazing because they show such a fast being in such a still perfect moment that wouldn't normally be able to see. Great Job!

  4. Hello Jessie,
    These are some amazing photos that you have selected. The photo of the bridge in the smog is the best that I have seen today. I mean it is really a great shot. The photographer thaat you chose has a great eye for color and capturing aspects, and vantage points that you wouldnt usually think of. My second favorite is the photo of the clouds with city lights and sun in the backgound, or is it the moon. Either way it is a beautiful photo. I can see why you chose Schwartzberg as the photographer to research. Great choice of photographer, and photos!!
