Taking Pictures, Raising Children
http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/11/12/taking-pictures-raising-children/?module=BlogPost-Title&version=Blog%20Main&contentCollection=Multimedia&action=Click&pgtype=Blogs®ion=Body
2. The article I read on this site was about women working as photographers and traveling while also raising kids. Up until the early 1970's, not many female photographers were doing major work but in the last few years, female photographers have broken into the field while simultaneously raising their children.
3. I learned that women can still have successful careers while juggling family life. A lot of times in the media, women are presented as staying home with the family and raising their kids while their husbands go out and support the family (which is bs). It was nice to see women being represented as having successful careers while also having families because it shows that it is possible to do so.

9. If you were directed to a site that you cannot answer any of the questions above, please do the following:
a. This website was about women who are working as photojournalists and photographers and how they juggle their profession and raising their children. All of these women have kids and manage to have successful careers that involve a lot of traveling.
b. I learned that you shouldn't (and don't) have to compromise your happiness in order to have a family. All of these women do it everyday and haven't had to sacrifice their happiness and their careers just because they have kids.
c. How the site related to photography: all of the women were photographers or photojournalists.

Good Pictures, Bad Timing
http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/11/13/good-pictures-bad-timing/?module=BlogPost-Title&version=Blog%20Main&contentCollection=Multimedia&action=Click&pgtype=Blogs®ion=Body&_r=0
2. This article was about photographer, Will Brown, and the discouraging advice he received from John Szarkowski at the age of 37 and the effects it had on Brown's career. Brown showed Szarkowski the photos in 1974 to which Szarkowski told him, "you should find your own way of photographing. Your own voice. These look like someone else's voice." Brown packed his photos away in a box and they didn't see the light of day until recently and are now the subject of a solo exhibition at the Laurence Miller Gallery in New York and were published in a book, The Picture That Remains, alongside the poetry of Tom Devaney.
3. I learned that discouraging advice shouldn't deter you from what you love because it may just be the wrong time. If you keep at it, eventually things may fall into place and your hard work will be recognized.

5. If you have a photo to post, answer the following questions:
a. I picked this photo because it was my favorite from the website. I really like old cars and old black & white photos so this one stood out to me.
b. The rule of photography that is most evident to me is balance because everything in the photo is pretty even on either side.
c. The photo was taken by Will Brown in 1973.
