In this next project, we scoured the internet to find photos that we felt had significance to a certain topic. For instance the first photograph is Peyton Manning who had just won his second super bowl. This is in the category Sports. We had to talk about the significance of each photograph and why we chose it. There is 10 total photographs for 10 different categories.
Sports
Photographer: Patrick Smith
February 8, 2016
This photo is significant for many reasons; he was deemed to never even play in the NFL again after his major neck surgeries, let alone win a Super Bowl only a few years after returning. Manning is also the first quarterback to win the Super Bowl with two different teams. This was also his last season in the NFL and went out with a great season. He is now in the Hall of Fame.

Politics
Photographer: Alex Brandon
January 20, 2021
This photo is significant in politics because this was President Trumps final goodbye to the Whitehouse. After many ups and downs of the election with many controversies, he took the high road and left peacefully but promised his supporters that he would be back in some way. President Joe Biden took over presidency only a few hours later and now leads the country. People wonder if trump will retain his promise and possibly run again.

Historical Event
Photographer: Cannot be found
December 7, 1941
This historical photo is significant because it signifies one of the largest attacks on U.S soil from a foreign force since the Revolutionary War. It marked the beginning of a long and torturous war. WW2 had just begun and nobody was ready. As general Yamamoto said of Japan "I'm afraid we just awoke a sleeping giant." Although they gave us a pretty good slap to the face and we had a pretty slow start. Japan knew we would return in force and it would only be a matter of time until we released the beast on them.

Personal
Photographer: My Father

This photo is significant to me because flying RC Jets is my most favorite thing to do and this photo was at a big event that I got to fly at. I am also with my close friends and family. It is a very family oriented sport and gets everyone closer in the community. I enjoy hanging out with my friends while doing the hobby I love.

This is one of Duffy's first photoshoots, he forgot to take the lens off of the camera and had some technical difficulties. Luckily he was able to reshoot the portraits. Later on he began shooting photos for Elle and Vogue. He was a world renounced fashion photographer for his style and technique.

- Wildlife
- Photographer: Thomas Mangelsen
- No known date of image
"Catch of the Wild" as most people refer to this image as because it shows a grizzly bear catching a Salmon mid-air in a fast paced river. The image taken by Thomas was way before photoshop or any other photo editing software's and is purely just a straight shot with no editing. It shows how incredibly powerful wildlife is.
Portrait
Photographer: Philippe Halsmen
1947
This photograph is significant because it shows one of the most famous scientist/mathematicians in the world. Phillipe did a great job depicting Einstein's face very well and detailed. Halsmen was able to contrast Einstein's face from the background which really makes the quality of the portrait so good. It captures the emotions of Einstein as he is most likely solving problems as the photo was taken.
